June Theme: Build It!
This month, guests are invited to dream big, build boldly, and work together as we explore the world of engineering, creativity, and community building through Build It! Throughout the museum, children will use their imaginations to design structures, solve building challenges, and collaborate on a growing community masterpiece. From cardboard construction to magnetic creations, this month encourages hands-on exploration, teamwork, and creative problem-solving.
Boxopolis: A Creative Cardboard City | Every Day at 1:30 p.m.
Each day, guests will help design and build a collaborative cardboard city that will continue growing all month long. Children can create buildings, roads, parks, vehicles, landmarks, and other community features while learning about teamwork, engineering, and city design. As the month progresses, families will be able to revisit the city to see how the community has expanded and changed over time.
