Little Experiments & Big Discoveries
Tuesday - Saturday | 10AM - 5PM
Sunday | 12PM - 4PM
The Buell Children’s Museum brings you a lab worthy of little hands discovering the world! Completely safe! no mess! experiments in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
Little Experiments & Big Discoveries is designed for both independent exploration and family participation with hands on experiments made for hands of all sizes. Exposure to big ideas in tiny confidence building experiences helps young minds feel capable of greater understanding. At the Buell, adults visiting with young folks are heroes, so we give you all the answers so you can provide the Why(?)s! We’ve even found take-home resources to keep you going!
Painting, beading, drawing, and many other mediums are available in the Artrageous exhibit. Check out our rotating mini exhibit in the entry hall. Hang out in the new Under the Sea Exhibit in the Kaleidoscope Gallery. Begin business and social skill building while playing in the Buell Village. Find famous birthdays. Don’t forget to say "hi" to the fish family in our hydroponic exhibit.
