Looking for an easy way to let your kids play—without turning it into a whole production?
PumpHouse Play Days are weekly, drop-in play mornings in the PumpHouse Museum Discovery Centre. Designed to feel simple and low-pressure, these mornings offer unstructured, open-ended play for kids and a chance for parents and caregivers to relax.
Each Tuesday features a new self-guided craft, along with all our regular Discovery Centre activities like the giant Lite-Brite, blocks, K’NEX, and more. There’s no schedule to follow and no instruction to keep up with—just space to play, explore, and socialize at your own pace.
While kids are busy playing, adults can bring a coffee, chat with other parents, read a few pages of a book, or simply sit back and enjoy our waterfront views.
