Art + Nature Story Time

Bring your little ones to a 30-minute story time that blends art, nature, and movement in one delightful session. Kids will listen to stories from rotating guest readers, look at artwork in the museum, and explore how nature connects to the creative pieces on display. This program strikes a balance between indoor gallery time and outdoor exploration of the Museum Park grounds, making it a great way to engage young minds with both books and the natural world around them. The event is led in partnership with Prairie Ridge Ecostation and is completely free to attend—just register ahead of time. It's designed for families who want a relaxed, interactive outing where children can move around, ask questions, and develop a love for both art and nature. Whether your child is new to museum visits or a seasoned explorer, this gentle, hands-on approach makes it accessible and enjoyable for preschool and early elementary ages.
