Are you looking to give a memorable gift this holiday season? Toys and books and clothes are great—except those ugly holiday sweaters! But have you considered adding the gift of an experience to the list of gifts you’re going to give? Giving experiences is a trend that’s been growing over the years and we are all about it! We love to support family experiences and opportunities for families to learn together at The Children’s Museum. It’s part of our mission, after all.
Here are five experiences you can give at The Children’s Museum:
1. Gift membership
You can give the gift of extraordinary experiences all year long with a gift membership to The Children’s Museum. With Nickelodeon’s Dora and Diego—Lets Explore!, SUE the T. rex, DC Super Heroes™: Discover Your Superpowers, the addition of Malala Yousafzai to The Power of Children: Making a Difference®, and the return of family favorites like The Children’s Museum Guild’s Haunted House, Jolly Days Winter Wonderland, and Lilly Theater productions, 2021 is a year full of possibilities! A gift membership includes a year of admission to our five floors of fun and the Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience®, unlimited Carousel rides, discounts at The Museum Store, and exclusive members-only hours. You can purchase a gift membership here, or you can upgrade the experience by purchasing a donor gift membership here. Imagine the memories in store for 2021 with a gift membership!
2. Fairy Tale Puzzle Room
It’s an evening of magic and mystery as your family joins the Fairy Tale Bureau of Investigations to solve this whodunit experience. Find clues. Solve puzzles. Can your family solve the crime in time? Fairy Tale Puzzle Room will be offered several times throughout 2021. Click here to register.
3. Museum by Moonlight tickets
Looking for a special gift for someone 21+? Museum by Moonlight is the biggest party of the year and it’s the talk of the town all year long. The date for Museum by Moonlight 2021 hasn’t been finalized yet, but we will be making an announcement soon. Keep an eye on this website for all of the up-to-date information about the biggest and best party at The Children’s Museum.
4. Museum Expedition Kit
Go on a journey through The Children’s Museum from the comfort of your home with our Museum Expedition Kit! Using the Adventure Map as your guide, explore five of our exhibits, completing fun activities along the way. Kits are designed for ages 6–10. You can order a kit here.
5. Wyoming Dinosaur Adventure
It doesn’t get much more extraordinary than exploring a dinosaur dig site in person! Participants will visit the museum’s active dig site, meet our paleontologists, walk in the footsteps of dinosaurs, explore the differences between archaeology and paleontology, and discover the history of the wild, wild West! Trip dates are scheduled for summer 2021. Click here to learn more about this paleontological pilgrimage!
We know giving stuff is fun, too!
