Spring Break Beach Break
There’s always something fun to celebrate at DCM!
Each month, we’re spotlighting a fun, quirky, or inspiring day from around the world—think National STEM Day, International Rubber Ducky Day, Sweetest Day, and more! Join us for themed drop-in activities, story times, and a special Studio add-on that brings each celebration to life.
These mini-celebrations are included with museum admission or membership, so come see what’s in store and add a little extra pizzazz to your day!
It’s World Book Day—and every page is an adventure waiting to happen! Step into stories, spark your imagination, and celebrate the magic of reading through hands-on, creative experiences throughout the Museum. From storytelling and puppetry to writing and illustrating your own tales, World Book Day at DCM brings books to life in ways kids can see, touch, and create.
What it’s all about: Stories help us explore new worlds, understand others, and express ourselves. Whether listening, creating, or acting out a tale, children build early literacy skills like vocabulary, comprehension, and creativity. What story will you discover—or create—today?
It’s Miniature Day—and big fun comes in small packages! Discover the tiny details that make a big impact as you explore, build, and create on a smaller scale. From crafting mini masterpieces to magnifying the wonders of the world around you, Miniature Day at DCM invites kids to think small—and imagine big.
What it’s all about: Exploring mini worlds helps children slow down, focus, and notice details. Working on a smaller scale builds fine motor skills, concentration, and creativity—proving that even the tiniest ideas can lead to big discoveries. What small wonders will you uncover today?
