Programs Included with Admission

Please note: Although we do our very best to always offer what we've promised, activities are subject to change.
Tuesdays at 10:30am during Morning Play Sessions (9am-Noon)
Join us for a weekly program that emphasizes the importance of tinkering! Tinkering helps little ones develop fine motor skills, increases problem solving abilities, and is an open invitation to foster peer relationships!
What is tinkering? Tinkering can range from taking something apart and putting it back together to making an open0ended sculpture, to playing with "loose parts" and special science tools. We will have different activities every week and some old favorites will pop up again and again.
Want to join in Toddler Tinker Time? Simply reserve spots in the museum's morning play session that corresponds to the date of the Toddler Tinker Time you want to join - it's included with museum admission, and as always, free for Members!
