At National Children’s Museum, play isn’t only for children.

Curiosity + Cocktails—our first-ever fall FUNraiser—was a huge success! On November 7, we welcomed both old friends and new faces to the Museum for an adults-only evening filled with fun and grounded in community. While enjoying signature drinks and decadent desserts, guests explored our immersive exhibits and checked off their To-Doodle lists by completing a variety of STEAM activities created by our education team.

Curiosity + Cocktails raised support for the Museum's critical work to spark curiosity, ignite creativity, and foster inclusivity to empower the next generation of innovators.

Save the date, May 2, 2026, for Play Soirée, our signature fundraiser and biggest event of the year! Enjoy fine dining, inspiring programs, and plenty of play, all supporting our work to spark curiosity in young minds.
