Mark your calendars for Friday, February 14th and plan a visit to the Michigan Science Center to check out the reimagined Kids Town.

The Michigan Science Center‘s beloved Kids Town exhibit is back and better than ever. LIttles will love the miniature town designed to help kids explore STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) concepts under the supervision of parents and caregivers.

Kids Town features several immersive rooms, each designed to stimulate curiosity and hands-on learning:

  • Blue Block Room – A creative space where children can build three-dimensional structures using Blue Blocks on the floor and walls.
  • STEAM Lab – An arts-focused area where young learners can explore color, textures, and crafting, including an opportunity to create shadow puppets.
  • Theater – A performance space featuring a short-throw projector for customizable backdrops, a puppet theater, and dress-up activities. On March 26, the PBS show Carl the Collector will be broadcast here.
  • Scibrarium – A literary and media corner featuring books from the Perception Foundation, story-times, and an interactive Everbright wall that allows kids to play with colors and hues.
  • Fountain – A playful and engaging water feature located at the center of Kids Town.
  • Vet Clinic – A space dedicated to teaching children about animal care, anatomy, and biology, including a live fish tank donated by Lou’s Pet Shop of Grosse Pointe.
  • Field House – Featuring Lumo Play and other digital interactive games that encourage movement and coordination.
  • ·The Market & Restaurant – A hands-on area where children can “shop” for different food items and serve their “customers.”
  • Level Up Arcade – A space offering digital and analog games designed to introduce STEAM concepts through play.

While you’re at the museum, be sure to also check out the other exhibits and stick around for a live science stage show.
