Hey, 3- to 5-year-olds! This club's for you!
Live animals, story times, songs and art experiences are just some of the fun activities we have planned for you. Critter Clubs are for 3- to 5-year-olds and a participating adult. They are family-friendly events that introduce the Museum's live animals to visitors and weave in science topics such as metamorphosis and camouflage. Our educators are experts at bringing fun and knowledge together!
Critter Clubs are FREE with paid Museum admission. Events are available on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations required, but tickets are very limited, so arrive early! Check in at the Dueling Dinos in the Museum's Grand Foyer.
You and an adult can join us at 10 am or 11 am for fun-filled learning on one Saturday a month. On occasion, we do change the date, so watch this website!
For more information about Critter Club, call (213) 763-ED4U or e-mail educate@nhm.org.
