Get Crafty: Free Craft Activities for Families
Bring Your Family Fun to Life at the Museum!
Looking for a great way to entertain the kids (and yourself!) for a few hours? Head over to the Museum for our FREE Craft Sessions—a perfect way to unleash your family’s creativity!
Join us from 1pm every weekday and 10am every Saturday whenever the Museum is open.
No booking required—just show up and dive into the fun! We’ve got everything you need, from materials to easy-to-follow instruction sheets, all ready for you to jump in and start creating.
Make memories, make art! Whether you’re crafting masterpieces or just enjoying quality time, there’s something for every family to love.
Important: These activities are self-led, so bring your imagination (and an adult!) along for the ride. Children must be supervised at all times.
