Playlabs
Step into the Wonder Workshop, a hands-on maker space where children explore, experiment, and create! Our Maker Spaces invite kids to dive into art-making, science experiments, and tinkering with loose parts- sparking curiosity, imagination, and problem-solving.
Museum educators guide children through a mix of structured projects and open-ended play, letting each child follow their interests while developing new skills. Whether designing miniature worlds, building with recycled materials, or experimenting with natural elements, young inventors, artists, and scientists bring their ideas to life!
Play Labs are included with museum admission and welcome children of all ages and abilities. Registration is not required- drop in anytime!
