Spring Break at MCM

March 19–April 1

Your stay-cation destination for innovation and imagination.

While schools are out, keep kids active, learning, and engaged with a trip to Madison Children’s Museum. We’re adding extra open days during the two weeks when the majority of Dane County schools are on break.

Open March 19–April 1, except closed March 20.

Admission is free for museum members. Non-members may buy tickets online or pay at the door.

Spring break is a busy time at the museum! If you need a sensory break, visit our Celebrations Room on floor 2, which will be set up as a cool-down space all week, with quiet activities for children of all ages.

Drop-In Programs
