Upcoming Events
Below is a selection of what Hollywood fun you can expect this summer. Visit the Children's Museum now open and experience the arts fit for a star!
Faux Show!
Visitors will be able to enjoy a sampling of movie-related artifacts.
Peek inside our shadow boxes and catch a glimpse of Tinsel Town trinkets. Are those Dorothy’s ruby red slippers? Could it be the real Parry Hotter wand? Who might have worn that mask and said, “Luke, I am your Father.”? Other surprises await you; just follow the “trail” of Reeses’ Pieces.
Glam-O-Rama
Visit our wardrobe department stocked with cool clothes galore. Then, top it off! Find the right hat for your costume – it may be a crown or tiara- you won’t believe how many there are to choose from.
It’s a Buggy Life!
You are the scene designer. Paint the scene red or blue or green or gold for that bug movie. Using rubbing plates and crayons, add to our really long mural of endless creativity.
Red Carpet Nights - Fashion Fun
The best part of the Academy Awards is designing a dress to go!
Costume design in a flash. Pick an itty-bitty hanger and go crazy designing a unique paper outfit to hang on it! Sequins, ribbon, and fancy papers make for glamorous gowns you create. We provide the embellishments; you provide you passion for fashion.
Movie Star Starter Kit
Make a star for your dressing room door, sunglasses and a clacker board to get your career to stardom started.
Cars & Crayons
Start your engines and your creativity! Paint backgrounds and cars with this popular movie menagerie. Budding artists will enjoy learning to draw their favorite character. Fold and glue a cool race car, too, that you color with the vehicle shaped crayon you made!
Singing in the… Museum
No rain here, just lots of Karaoke with all your favorite movie hits! You rock! You star!
Meet and greet Hollywood Heroes!
Dreams may come true as Guests in the Buell Children’s Museum during a dozen different Character Autograph sessions. Get those pens uncapped, those books open, your cameras ready, and your video cameras rolling!
