Third Thursdays

Third Thursdays is a monthly evening program at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum where families can come play together from 4 to 8pm. It's a relaxed way to spend time at the museum during extended hours, making it a great option for families who want to explore the exhibits and activities outside the typical daytime schedule. Since Third Thursdays happens monthly, it's perfect for building a routine visit into your family's calendar. The October 15 date falls during the Hotel District's broader Third Thursdays celebration, so you might enjoy checking out some of the other nearby businesses and activities in the area while you're downtown. It's a casual, flexible event—just show up and let your kids play.
