Baby Bloomers

For ages 0-36 months

Toddlers take over the museum during
Baby Bloomers!

Baby Bloomers is a special program during which the museum is open exclusively for visitors ages 0–3 years and their families.

Now being offered on Saturday mornings from 8 – 10 am. Baby Bloomers provides caregivers and early learners the chance to experience Thinkery together in an environment focused solely on them.

The program takes place on the second floor and backyard of the museum and includes two-story times, parachute play, and free play that supports the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development of our earliest learners.

Reserve your tickets in advance to enjoy open-ended explorations and learning through play.
