Join us for a special Play Date as we celebrate "Week of the Young Child" in the Deep Time museum exhibit with friends from around the Smithsonian! 

Experience the David H. Koch Hall of Fossils tailored to our earliest learners! Educators from Hirshhorn, National Zoo, Air & Space, and other Smithsonian museums will join us with hands-on and play experiences throughout Deep Time. Come make close observations of fossils, play in fossil-inspired ways, and join us for a special early learner march through Deep Time! 

The event is part of our drop-in program, Play Date at NMNH. Play Date at NMNH is a program designed for early learners (ages 0-5) and their caregivers and families. Activities are designed with early learners in mind, but all ages are welcome.

Location: This program is held in the David H. Koch Hall of Fossils - Deep Time exhibit on the 1st floor of the museum.
