Thanksgiving Break Play Days at the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum

Keep the kids engaged during the holiday week with a visit to the Children's Museum. This special programming runs most of the week and features hands-on activities across two floors of interactive exhibits. On Tuesday morning, families with younger children can join Tots & Coffee Club. Wednesday brings an Arts in Motion workshop focused on movement and dance—designed to be welcoming for all kids. Throughout the week, the Woodworking Studio invites kids to create and build. All special activities are covered with regular museum admission, so there's no extra cost to participate. The museum maintains regular daytime hours most days, with the exception of Thanksgiving Day itself. Whether your family stops by for an hour or spends the whole day exploring, there's plenty to keep everyone occupied.
