Join us on Tuesdays for special family play dates with museum educators!

Tuesday, October 8 is all about exploring coral reefs! Families will learn about coral polyps (the tiny animals that help to build-up the reef), create their own artwork inspired by coral reefs, and look up close at coral specimens from the museum’s collection. 

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 Explorer Theater in the Sant Ocean Hall on the 1st floor of the museum.
