BOOKS ALIVE
Fun opportunities with book characters
Our Books Alive program features several visits per year by beloved children’s book characters. At each event, children can listen to a story, enjoy literacy activities and fun crafts, as well as meet the book character and pose for photos.
All activities are included with admission and FREE for members. Online reservations strongly suggested.
Friendly costumed characters are on the museum floor from 10-10:30am during morning play sessions (9am-Noon) and from 2-2:30pm during afternoon play sessions (1-4pm)
