DCM is CLOSED thru Sept. 18 for Annual Maintenance.
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!
October is Fire Safety Month—and a great time to learn how to stay safe while exploring the science, tools, and teamwork behind fire safety! Discover hands-on ways to learn about fire, firefighters, and fire prevention through building, creating, experimenting, and play throughout the Museum.
What it’s all about: Learning about fire safety helps children understand how to recognize potential dangers and what to do in an emergency. Talking about fire safety in a fun, age-appropriate way can help children feel prepared and confident. What can you do to help keep your home and family safe?
Celebrate curiosity, problem-solving, and hands-on discovery! National STEM Day is all about exploring science, technology, engineering, and math in fun and creative ways. Join us at DCM for a day of experiments, building, and playful invention.
What it’s all about: STEM is all around us, from the way we build and move things to the sounds we create and the patterns we see. How can you explore, invent, or experiment today? Try observing how something works, build a new design, or test out an idea—curiosity and creativity are the best tools for learning!
