SUMMARY:Curious George @ National Children's Museum
DESCRIPTION:The National Children’s Museum sparks curiosity and creativity in the littlest of learners! This playful indoor family destination offers a wide range of interactive activities\, exhibits\, and experiences centered on science\, technology\, engineering\, art\, and math. \nAlongside its permanent lineup\, the Museum hosts special\, limited-time exhibits — and right now the Visiting Exhibit Hall belongs to everyone’s favorite monkey: \nCurious George: Let’s Get Curious!\nMay 23-Sep 6\, 2026 \nStep into the beloved neighborhood of Curious George\, the playful primate who has captured hearts and imaginations for 85 years\, as the Visiting Exhibit Hall transforms into an immersive\, STEM-powered adventure! \nOperate pulleys to move George across an apartment building\, putt through mini golf holes using pipes and ramps\, tend farm animals\, and build your own whirligig. This hands-on exhibit brings H.A. and Margret Rey’s classic stories to life in the most delightful ways. \nYoung visitors explore physics\, engineering\, and math through play: sorting produce at a sidewalk stand\, constructing buildings at a city worksite\, even stepping into the rocket George rode on his space adventure. Designed for learners ages 3-7 and their families\, and included with Museum admission. \nThere’s plenty more to explore\, too! Whether it’s your child’s first visit or their tenth\, these features are always worth a visit: \nDream Machine\nBest for ages 5-12\nClimb into the clouds on a three-story climber and slide. \nEngineering Games + Play\nBest for ages 3-12\nTake a swing at engineering and science concepts through the lens of your favorite sports and classic hands-on activities. \nLittle Dreamers\nBest for ages 0-3\nA protected cloud- and flight-themed area for infants and toddlers. \nData Science Alley\nBest for ages 3-12\nExplore figures and statistics through play\, and think about the data found in our day-to-day lives. \nArt + Tech\nBest for ages 3-10\nTap into your creativity with iconic friends from Nickelodeon. \nPlacita Mágica\nBest for ages 3-12\nA special 50th anniversary exhibit that pays homage to the Capital Children’s Museum. \nWeather Worlds\nBest for ages 4-12\nShoot lightning bolts\, make it rain\, and more with this green screen experience. \nClimate Action Heroes\nBest for ages 4-12\nDiscover your special climate-action superpower through a physical flow quiz. \nLittle Movers\nBest for ages 0-3\nA protected free-movement space for infants and toddlers to build gross and fine motor skills. \nTinkering Corner\nBest for ages 3-12\nDesign\, create\, test\, and build in the creative hub of the National Children’s Museum. \nLight House\nA hands-on maze where kids experiment with light and color\, created by the Museum’s artist-in-residence\, Katherine Tzu-Lan Mann.

SUMMARY:Back-to-School Pop-Ups @ National Children’s Museum
DESCRIPTION:The National Children’s Museum is celebrating the start of a new school year with a weekend of pop-up play that preps young learners for returning to the classroom! From August 21-23\, 2026\, enjoy activities that let students stretch their learning muscles while exploring things like science\, geometry\, reading\, and mindfulness. \nHere’s the back-to-school pop-up schedule: \nAug 21\, 2026\n• 10-11:30 am: Shape Builders\, Placita Mágica\n• 2-3:30 pm: Pinwheel Breathing\, Placita Mágica \nAug 22\, 2026\n• 10-11:30 am: Pinwheel Breathing\, Climate Action Heroes\n• 10:30-11 am: Back-to-School Storytime\, DC Mural\n• 2-3:30 pm: Microscope Observations\, Climate Action Heroes\n• 2-3:30 pm: Get Ready Relay\, DC Mural \nAug 23\, 2026\n• 10-11:30 am: Shape Builders\, Climate Action Heroes\n• 10:30-11 am: Back-to-School Storytime\, DC mural\n• 2-3:30 pm: Pinwheel Breathing\, Climate Action Heroes\n• 2-3:30 pm: Get Ready Relay\, DC Mural \nAt these fun and interactive activity stations\, children learn through play : \n• Pinwheel Breathing: Guests can get creative and develop the skill of self-regulation all in one fun activity. After creating their own unique pinwheel\, they can practice a simple\, tactile deep-breathing exercise that uses the pinwheel to help visually pace inhales and exhales. \n• Shape Builders: Little mathematicians can work out their geometry muscles\, taking on the challenge of combining smaller shapes to create larger ones. This activity exercises spatial reasoning and shape recognition through play! \n• Back-to-School Storytime: While enjoying a special back-to-school-themed storybook\, little readers break down the beginning\, middle\, and end of the story and strengthen comprehension. Through discussion and hands-on activities\, learners will practice sequencing events and understanding how stories are structured. \n• Microscopic Observation: Let’s explore the world around us! Little scientists can use microscopes to observe everyday objects\, discovering patterns\, shapes\, and textures through investigation. \n• Get Ready Relay: Little learners can strengthen their motor skills and confidence as they practice skills that help them get ready for school. Tie shoes\, put on coats\, fasten snaps\, and more! \nBack-to-School pop-up activities are included in general museum admission.

This activity exercises spatial reasoning and shape recognition through play! \n• Back-to-School Storytime: While enjoying a special back-to-school-themed storybook\, little readers break down the beginning\, middle\, and end of the story and strengthen comprehension. Through discussion and hands-on activities\, learners will practice sequencing events and understanding how stories are structured. \n• Microscopic Observation: Let’s explore the world around us! Little scientists can use microscopes to observe everyday objects\, discovering patterns\, shapes\, and textures through investigation. \n• Get Ready Relay: Little learners can strengthen their motor skills and confidence as they practice skills that help them get ready for school. Tie shoes\, put on coats\, fasten snaps\, and more! \nBack-to-School pop-up activities are included in general museum admission.
