Because you're never too old to play!

Step into a world of wonder and whimsy at the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum — just for grownups! For one special day, we’re opening the doors to older adults (aka "seasoned kids") who are young at heart and ready to rediscover the joy of play.

🫧 Blow giant bubbles
🥁 Jam out with musical instruments
🎨 Get hands-on with interactive exhibits
🧩 Explore, laugh, and let your imagination run wild

Play isn’t just for kids — it’s a powerful way for adults to stay mentally sharp, physically active, and socially connected. Research shows that play can reduce stress, boost memory, and spark joy at every age. So come laugh, move, create, and connect in a space designed to inspire wonder and delight. This is your chance to play freely, connect with others, and experience the museum like never before — just for grownups!

Parking Info: Enjoy one hour of free parking at the Monroe Center Parking Ramp (above Leo's). Enter from Ionia Ave.
