Member Playtime

Member Playtime is an open-play session at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum designed for families to explore the museum's hands-on exhibits and interactive galleries at their own pace. Kids can engage with age-appropriate activities spanning science, art, creative play, and exploration—perfect for preschoolers through early elementary-aged children. It's a low-pressure way for families to spend time together, letting children lead the discovery while parents supervise and participate. Expect a relaxed, self-directed experience ideal for younger kids who thrive in imaginative, tactile environments.
