Des Moines Children's Museum will participate in Our World: Worldwide Day of Play on September 27, 2025. As a day dedicated to experiencing joyful learning through play, this
event is focused on getting kids and their families up, out, and playing around. In addition to fun slime in the Messy Zone during our 10 AM - 5 PM play hours, we will have a special Game Night: Shoots and Ladders from 6-8 PM in the party rooms where kids get to be the game pieces!
“Play is a powerful experience that enriches people’s lives in museums, schools, homes, and beyond,” states Arthur G. Affleck, III, executive director of the Association of Children’s Museums. “ACM is pleased to partner with Nickelodeon on amplifying the importance of play on wellbeing and healthy brain development, and to make learning more effective and joyful for everyone. As children’s museums, we believe in the power of play and we strive to nurture more play and playful learning everywhere we
go.”
Our World: Worldwide Day of Play is part of Nickelodeon’s Our World global initiative to inspire kids and provide them with tools to activate their individual and collective agency. As part of a network of more than 360 ACM member children’s museums who reach millions of families in North America, and the over 1,450 museums participating in Museums for All, a national access initiative that ACM manages, Des Moines Children's Museum is a vital collaborator in the Our World: Worldwide Day of Play.
