At Marbles Kids Museum, we believe in the power of imagination to inspire learning, and we believe strongly in our responsibility to make our unique museum experience available and accessible to all children.
Through PLAY FREE, eligible preschools and community organizations can bring the children they serve to Marbles Kids Museum free of charge up to three times per calendar year.
At Marbles Kids Museum, children age 10 and under engage in creative and educational play in our hands-on, minds-on exhibits and programs. Play is essential for learning and human development. When children engage in play at Marbles Kids Museum, they learn to solve problems, make decisions, recognize boundaries, express themselves and communicate with others. It is well proven that children who play do better in school and become more successful adults.
