You and Your Child: Partners In Play
The Children’s Museum is home to 12 exciting galleries that spark kids’ creative learning. These galleries present a world of possibilities for children and caregivers who enjoy visiting the Children’s Museum. Unlike the no-touch exhibits at other museums, our galleries are always ready for hands-on fun!
At the Children’s Museum, we believe that the role accompanying adults play in their child’s visit is what helps to make the museum trip a fun, engaging, and meaningful experience. As adults, children will often look to you for cues and support in ways to interact with their environment.
To help guests navigate the museum space to its fullest potential, each month we’ll explore one of the museum’s galleries in more detail. We’ll share our visitors’ top ten list of favourite things to do in that gallery and we’ll also explore some products that are available in Shop that can extend your museum experience and help keep kids learning even after they leave.
This month’s feature gallery is Time Squared.

February’s List:
