Mess Fest

Saturday, June 21, 2025  |  9 am – 2 pm

Celebrate all things MESSY and experience DCM ooey-er, gooey-er, and sloppy-er than ever before during Mess Fest. Dive in, get dirty, and don’t forget to dress for a mess.

Outdoor Activities:

• Mud Kitchen
  Make delicious, dirt dishes in a messy, mud kitchen
• Shaving Cream Block Building
  Build slippery structures in shaving cream block building
• Polymer Playground
  All kinds of slime
• Kid Wash Station
  Spray and scrub the mess away before you enter the Museum to play 
• And More!

 

🎉 In honor of the Museum’s birthday, guests are invited to bring their spare change for a special coin-powered messy station! It’s a fun way to play and give back—every coin becomes a donation to support playful learning at DCM.

Bring a change of clothes, including shoes, and embrace messy play!

 

This event is included with Museum Admission or Membership. Note: This event takes place in DCM’s parking lot. In the event of inclement weather, activities will be limited and may or may not take place indoors. Access to the Museum is included with your tickets.
