Included with Admission

Bruce the bear, that grumpy cook and mother to geese and mice, will be visiting the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire to greet young fans and help promote the love of reading! Museum educators will be doing a story time while a friendly costumed Bruce visits! Bruce will be available for hugs, high-paws, and photos at 2pm during the afternoon play session (1–4pm) on Saturday. Each story time lasts approximately 30 minutes—please time your arrival accordingly to guarantee a visit with Bruce. Want to meet Bruce? Simply reserve spots in the museum’s morning or afternoon play session that correspond to the date of the Books Alive program you want to join—it’s included with museum admission and, as always, free for Members!
