Madison Children's Museum

Snuggle in for a delightful mix of stories, puppets, and songs! This trail-side program invites young children to explore emotions, rhythm, and imagination through movement and mindful moments. Grown-ups welcome, too—this is a peaceful pause for the whole family.

Join MCM art educator Ms. Laurie for a weekly burst of color, texture, and joyful experimentation. Young children can freely explore art materials in a welcoming space designed especially for our youngest artists. It’s creativity without limits—or cleanup. Come make a beautiful mess with us! Free with general admission.

Explora el otoño a través de arte con hojas, historias y manualidades familiares. Celebrate fall with leaf crafts, stories, and hands-on family fun. Tendremos actividades bilingües para explorar los colores y sonidos de la temporada. Enjoy bilingual activities inspired by autumn’s colors and sounds.

Little monsters take over the museum at our members-only Halloween bash! Step into your silliest costume and celebrate the spirit of the season with frightfully fun activities and (free!) light refreshments, courtesy of MCM. This event is for current museum members only. Registration is $10 per family (after MCM member discount.)
