Worldwide Day of Play

Our World: Worldwide Day of Play is part of Nickelodeon’s Our World global initiative to inspire kids and provide them with tools to activate their individual and collective agency.  As part of a network of more than 360 ACM member children’s museums that reach millions of families in North America, and the over 1,450 museums participating in Museums for All, a national access initiative that ACM manages, Mid-Michigan Children’s Museum is a vital collaborator in the Our World: Worldwide Day of Play

Gabby's Dollhouse - MEOWseum Discovery Days

“Hey Gabby, take us to the museum!”
DreamWorks Animation and the Association of Children’s Museums are partnering again for the second year of Gabby’s Dollhouse MEOWseum Discovery Days — a joint commitment to reinforce the magic of imagination and discovery that is “unboxed” with each and every visit to a children’s museum.
DreamWorks and ACM are excited to collaborate with museums across the country to incorporate Gabby and friends, in varying ways by location, into their respective programming and spaces as they seed and nourish a love for exploration.
Come discover the magic of children’s museums! The Mid-Michigan Children’s Museum will enjoy a Gabby’s Dollhouse takeover over the course of two consecutive weekends, September 25th-27th, and October 2nd – 4th, with a variety of Gabby-themed crafts, games, and a photo opportunity. Please note that there will be no Gabby costume character appearing at our location.
