Events

There’s nothing better than seeing your child’s imagination come to life. Whether pretending to be a scientist, teacher, or sea captain, the moments you share today just might shape who they become tomorrow. At the Betty Brinn Children’s Museum, we offer engaging events that help our visitors explore their world, work on problem-solving skills and social-emotional development. From Community Access Days and Sensory-Friendly Sessions to dance parties and Friendship Fridays, our Museum is a place where children can do what they do best – wonder and play.
