Programs at the Children’s Museum

Mud is a wonderful medium for learning, and provides kids endless opportunities to build, create, imagine, and grow at their own pace! Mud play also sparks all types of sensory experiences and inspires a deeper connection to nature.
From mud painting and mud mosaics to exploring its viscosity, creating mud sculptures, and “cooking” with mud. Our Mud Lab program is messy fun for all ages!
