Child Friendly

Great sensory experiences await you and your child at the Miami Children's Museum in this special event set aside for children with sensory processing disorders and their families. Lights and sounds will be dimmed to create a comfortable environment for your little ones to explore. Participate in sensory based activities, such as bubble painting, and watch a sensory-friendly stage performance. Meet community professionals, such as an occupational therapist and a speech pathologist. Pre-registration is required.

Target Corporation is offering FREE entrance to the Miami Children's Museum on the 3rd Friday of every month now through the end of 2017.  Since "free" tends to attract crowds especially to a popular spot like the Children's Museum, please be sure to come early  (or late) to avoid the crowds.  The free admission is from 3pm to 9pm.  Please leave strollers in the car or at home due on these evenings. 

School is almost here! Get your brain waves working with some fun activities to help you start the year on the right foot.  Come in to the Miami Children's Museum and let the kids decorate their own bookmark and pencil case and participate in a backpack relay race! Practice your science skills in a fun experiment and enjoy performances based on children’s literature by the MCM Players.

Please bring your own bucket and garden or kitchen gloves. LMC will have bags and gloves available but they are trying to eliminate their use in the clean ups. The goal is to become a completely “green” or, in this case, “blue” beach clean up group.
