Play Date at NMNH: Planet Party!

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

This Tuesday we will celebrate Earth Day together! Families will learn about different elements of nature (Air/Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth) and how they influence what happens on and to our planet, create their own artwork inspired by these elements, and leave with an invitation to explore an exhibit, "Earth Information Center", on the second floor.

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), their caregivers, and families.

Location: This program is held in the Kenneth E. Behring Family Hall of Mammals exhibit on the 1st floor of the museum.  Please note that space is dependent on the location of that week's event. Some locations have less capacity than others. It is possible that the program might be at capacity when you arrive. If this happens, please enjoy other areas of the museum and try again later in the program.

Accessibility: Access services such as American Sign Language interpretation, real-time captioning (CART), or audio-description are available with advanced notice. However, accommodations may not be possible with less than two-weeks advanced notice. To request this service, please call (202) 633-5238 or e-mail NMNHAccessibility@si.edu.
