Spring Break – Beach Break

Saturday, March 28 – Monday, April 6, 2026

 

No beach? No problem! This Spring Break, DuPage Children’s Museum (DCM) is bringing the beach to YOU! Dive into hands-on, interactive fun where kids can dig, build, splash, and soar.

 

At DCM, kids are inspired to be curious, creative, and full of wonder. Designed for children ages 0–10 years, the Museum invites families to explore hands-on exhibits where learning happens through play. From babies crawling through soft play spaces to young inventors problem solving in engineering exhibits, there’s something to captivate and engage every age.

 

Join us for a week of beach-y learning adventures!

  • Splash and scoop for sea creatures and float with balls and boats in AWEsome Water
  • Dig in to the sand tables and make beachy art in The Studio
  • Create side-by-side with artist Jennifer Starchvill–Expert Doodler of Nonsense in The Studio
  • Create colorful “sand” castles and coral reefs in The Questioneers
  • Take flight with creature kites in the Wind Tunnel
  • Wonder with your 2-and-unders as you play with sea-inspired activities in Young Explorers
