Join us for a special Play Date as we celebrate "Week of the Young Child" in exhibits on the 1st floor of the museum with friends from around the Smithsonian!
Experience exhibits on the 1st floor tailored to our earliest learners! Educators from the National Museum of Natural History, National Zoo, Air & Space, and other Smithsonian museums will join us with hands-on and play experiences throughout Ocean Hall, Deep Time, and Hall of Mammals. Come make close observations of fossils, play in ocean-inspired ways, and join us for early-learner fun in mammal hall!
The event is part of our drop-in program, Play Date at NMNH. Play Date at NMNH is a program designed for early learners (ages 0-5) and their caregivers and families. Activities are designed with early learners in mind, but all ages are welcome.
