Heroes come in many forms, and this month, we’re celebrating every kind of hero through fun, interactive programs!

Shadows of Strength
2026-06-26 10:00 - 12:00
Not all heroes shine in the spotlight; some move in quieter ways. Kids will bring heroes to life by creating shadow puppets and exploring unseen acts of bravery. Discover how strength can exist both in the light and in the shadows.

Not Your Average Playdough
2026-06-26 13:00 - 15:00
Playdough seems so simple, but so much learning is happening when we play with it. Come make and create at our playdough table and hear about all the ways we’re learning. Plus, you’ll get our favorite playdough recipe to take home!

Eye on the Wild
2026-06-28 10:00 - 12:00
Step into The Great Indoors for a camping-inspired adventure! Young explorers will craft their own binoculars, then set off on a room-wide scavenger hunt to spot hidden “wildlife” and nature-inspired surprises. No bugs or mud, just a pure indoor adventure!

Awakening Creativity: Toddler Dance
2026-06-29 10:30 - 12:15
Sessions at 10:30 & 11:30
Toddlers & Preschoolers will explore different genres of dance, fun themes, and learn basic dance and movement skills through imaginative play and creative movement activities. Not only is your child engaging their small and large muscles as they embody movement (increasing flexibility, range of motion, and coordination), but they are also developing their personality and emotions through self-expression. Join us in Dance class this week for a fun outdoor camping theme! This program is geared for ages 18 months up to 5 years and their adult caregiver. Admission into this program is free with paid Museum admission. Space is limited. Please register at admissions upon arrival; first-come, first-served.

Hero Care Kit
2026-06-29 13:00 - 15:00
We are our own heroes, and every hero needs to take care of themselves. In this creative session, kids will explore what fills their hearts and calms their minds as they build their own “hero care kit.” They’ll explore a variety of items and create a kit that helps them feel cared for. The first act of heroism is caring for yourself.

Cooking with Krystal
2026-06-30 09:00, 2026-07-07 09:00, 2026-07-14 09:00
Join Chef Krystal in the KIDchen and make Magic Color-Changing Lemonade! Kids will curiously try new flavors and discover the joy of trying something new. Chef Krystal focuses on plant-based cooking, showing young chefs how accessible, delicious, and creative these ingredients can be while building confidence in the kitchen. This is a drop-in experience; however, space is limited. To respect other guests and keep things comfortable, a set number of families will be welcomed every 15 minutes.
This program is generously supported by The Kroger Co. Foundation.
