Explore Children's Museum's 2026 Night at the Museum - The Magic of Play

Night at the Museum is a celebration of our mission!

The Magic of Play: Night at the Museum is Explore Children’s Museum’s most impactful and inspiring event of the year! This adults-only evening transforms the museum into a space where imagination becomes impact—supporting hands-on exhibits, educational programs, and access for all children in our community.

Now in its fourth year, Night at the Museum is our largest annual fundraiser, and your support directly fuels our mission to spark curiosity, creativity, and learning through play.

This year’s theme, The Magic of Play, celebrates the joy, wonder, and connection that play brings to all ages. Come experience an unforgettable night featuring entertainment, an inspiring impact video, silent auction, paddle raise, and delicious hors d’oeuvres from Buck ‘n Honey’s—plus beer, wine, and a signature cocktail.

Join us for a night of fun and philanthropy—where play has purpose, and imagination becomes impact.

??? Tickets are limited and go on sale in December 2025. Don’t miss this magical evening!
