The Trailhead Children’s Museum offerings are designed to delight and engage children and adults of all ages!

Our smallest friends will enjoy crawling up and over our giant foam Blue Blocks, exploring different textures and colors in the Nature’s Playhouse, or making a creative mess in the Art Bar.

Older children will stretch their minds and creativity while Bringing Engineering to Life, tickle their senses in the Light Lab, and create without boundaries in the Art Bar.

If you are unsure if the Museum is appropriate for your child, we invite you to ask our Museum Floor staff for a “sneak peek” before entering.

Yes, you may bring snacks and drinks to the Trailhead. We ask that all food and drink stays in designated eating areas and out of exhibit spaces. Please be mindful of others, and avoid bringing snacks containing nuts indoors at the Trailhead.
