Wonder & Exploration Children's Series
Spark your child's curiosity with Wonder & Exploration, a monthly hands-on learning series designed especially for young explorers ages 4–6. Each engaging session combines literacy, history, science, and creativity in a fun and interactive museum experience.
Every program begins with a reading from a beautifully illustrated storybook, followed by a supervised themed craft that children can take home. Young participants will also explore the museum through activities that encourage discovery, imagination, and a love of learning.
