We'll have extra programming designed for learners aged 3-4 running throughout the morning! Most programs are 15 minutes in length, and will be tailored to reach early learners.
All programs are drop-in, with no advanced reservations required. Get a seat early, and try to stay for the duration! Because programs happen simultaneously throughout the museum, you'll need to pick and choose the ones that interest you most.
