Play is learning! Each week, explore new exhibits and materials that support your child's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.
Hands-on materials, interactive activities, and facilitated discussions identify the different types of learning that happen while children play. Caregiver takeaways and informational resources will help families continue learning at home.
Look for weekly and monthly themes!
All programs are included in general admission and are free for members. Admission can be purchased in advance online or by walk-in at our front desk!
Thank you Westminster College Foundation for supporting Science of Play!
