Special Events

Kids' Night Out
June 3rd - Summer Luau
July 22nd - Fantastic Frogs
August 5th - Leapin’ Back-2-School

Enjoy a night off while your children have fun with us.  Each evening includes games, art, science, free play in the museum, and dinner. Drop your children off at 6:00 pm and pick them up at 9:00 pm so that you can have a quiet evening, see that movie you want to see, or have a peaceful dinner, all for less than it costs to take them out for the night with you!

Kid’s Night Out prices are $12 for the first child and $8 for each additional child from the same household.
(Members only pay $10 & $7)

Splash Art Adventures - July 12-16
