The Children's Museum in Easton welcomes families to participate in our cultural, educational, and affordable events! Children can enjoy a day of golf, a frightfully fun Halloween Romp, a Holiday Shop, more! See our website for a year-round schedule of upcoming events.
Come learn and play in the Old Fire Station! You are invited to explore our three floors of interesting and hands-on exhibits which promote creativity, learning, and social interaction between children and adults.
A visit to the Children's Museum will be an experience full of learning, creativity and discovery! After a brief orientation by Museum staff, your group will be divided into several small groups.
Participate in one of our several entertaining and educational programs designed to meet the needs of your child! These fantastic activities will encourage children to put their imagination toward learning in fun and exciting ways!
The Children's Museum in Easton is offering a free film and discussion on the benefits of play. Schools and organizations that are interested in bringing this program to their teachers, parents, and community leaders are invited to call the Children's Museum in Easton at 508-230-3789 to arrange a time that is convenient. "Where Do the Children Play?" is a PBS documentary, book, and outreach project about the vital importance of open-ended play for the healthy development of children.
At the Museum, we view play and hands-on experience as the keys to stimulate curiosity and motivate learning in children.
For families, the Museum offers more than 100 programs, classes, and special events, which focus on the topics of science, movement and music, healthy living/wellness and creative arts. Programs are designed to engage children in learning and be fun for all ages.
For schools and other agencies, the Museum offers field trip programs as well as outreach programs which bring our hands-on learning experiences to children. Programs are designed to meet the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and focus on science, movement and music, healthy living/wellness and creative arts.
For the underserved, our Hand-in-Hand program provides free and reduced fee access to decrease the barriers minority, low-income, and special-needs families face in accessing the Museum.
For parents and teachers, the Museum offers a wealth of resources, from community discussions on serious issues like the lack of play in children's lives, and healthy living and obesity prevention strategies to practical daily parenting tips.
