The Creativity Museum provides hands-on arts-and-science experiences for children aged 2-12 and their caregivers. The Art and Science Intertwined exhibition provides three galleries of activities including the ArtLab, DesignIt! Studio, and the digital Community Garden.
Activities change monthly so there is always something new to do and make.
How much time should I expect to spend there?
As is typical for other museums, families often spend 60-90 minutes here. Some children become so engaged in their creations that they stay all day with just a break for lunch! Families can get a hand-stamp at the front desk to enjoy in-and-out privileges all day.
What can my preschooler or toddler do at the museum?
There is something in every gallery for even our youngest visitors! The ArtLab, DesignIt! Studio, and Community Garden are especially friendly for children 5 and under. Other attractions on the first floor include our Play Patio and Storybook Park.
Is there anything to do for older kids?
All of our galleries offer art and design challenges for older children - just ask our educators for a prompt! Older children especially enjoy our Animation Studio where they can create their own stop-motion video and the Making Music Studio where they can record their own digital soundtrack.
