These guided play experiences are designed to be fun and educational for all ages. Collaborate with our skilled educators to create art, conduct exciting experiments, or explore new realms of knowledge.

What to Expect

Our Family Workshops offer a unique opportunity for kids and caregivers to learn and play side by side.

It’s a time for families to bond, explore, and create lasting memories together. Here’s what you can look forward to:

Supervised Fun: Children must be supervised by the adults in their group throughout the workshop, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Plan Ahead: Advanced registration is required to secure your spot in these popular workshops. Please note that museum admission is not included with program registration.
