As mentioned earlier, the Mississippi Children’s Museum has a busy and full calendar in the summer. For example, every week they have themed days every day including Magic Monday, Tech Tuesday, Wonder Wednesday, Thinker Thursday, and Fun Friday. They also have a book club called Rocky’s Book Club every Tuesday and Thursday, Know to Grow on Saturdays and Art Smart on Sundays. These are just a few of the things that they have to offer on top of other programs, exhibits, and weekend events.
The museum has a few programs to offer, including World at Work, Exploring Mississippi, the Literacy Garden, Pollinator’s Playground, and Wild About Reading. Within each of these programs are interactive activities to get the kids involved and eager to learn by teaching them different techniques and ways of learning. The Mississippi Children’s Museum also has seasonal exhibits like Splash and Bubbles: Dive in, Lend a Fin, which is in the summer and Journey to the North Pole around the holidays. The summer exhibit has been open since May 20th and will be going on until September 4th. They also have sensory days, one being on June 27th, for children with sensory difficulties to come and enjoy the museum in a new light.
The Mississippi Children’s Museum really has a ton to offer for children through the summer and school year. You can buy tickets as you please or you can buy one of their membership packages. They also have opportunities for adults or older children to become involved and volunteer!
