Bring the children's museum home with these activities for kids. We've got things to do with your children each season, holiday, and school subject.
Take a bit of the children's museum with you to the library or bookstore and use these book lists for kids. Our book lists complement our Activities and are themed for different seasons, holidays, and school subjects.
We have added several links to other successful children's museums, Prescott visitor resources, cultural institutions and Arizona organizations so museum supporters can visualize what we are creating for our community.
