The Smith Family PlaySpace offers young children a place to do the serious work of childhood - playing and growing.The PlaySpace is an area of the Museum specifically designed for children under the age of three. PlaySpace presents a space and an opportunity for parents to engage in the spontaneous, independent, exciting 'everyday' behavior of their children, while reflecting on it in the company and comfort of other parents and children.
The creative 'Build It!' exhibit has giant Lego blocks for your imaginative construction engineer and the 'Giant's Desk Top' exhibit is perfect for hide-and-seek among oversized everyday objects like a chair-size coffee cup and a desk-size telephone.
The Children's Museum also offers an ongoing storytime on Mondays & Thursdays at 10:30am. For ages 0-3. Storytime is free with museum admission. Toddlers are read enchanting tales that stir the imagination at the Smith Family PlaySpace.
