Way Late Play Date: A Grown-Up Night at the Museum
Saturday, September 20, 2025
7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
At Hands-on House Children's Museum
The museum you loved—now with snacks, drinks, and no bedtime.
Join us for a throwback celebration made just for the OGs who grew up attending Hands-on House. We’re opening the doors after hours for a night of:
- 90's/00's games
- Classic museum fun
- A silent auction full of local goodies and experiences
- Food trucks for a late-night bite
- A few adult-friendly beverages
Whether you built kingdoms with blocks, had fun with face paint, or played pretend with costumes.... this is your chance to return, reconnect, and rediscover the magic of childhood!
Tickets are $40 per person. This supports year-round experiences, exhibits, and programs we provide at the museum!
Support the Next Generation of Play
Hands-on House is still here—still inspiring curiosity, creativity, and immersive learning for a new generation of kids. But this work depends on our community.
If your childhood was shaped by the power of play, consider helping us pass that gift on (Play it forward, if you will!)
Membership Makes a Difference
we depend on the generous support of our members, visitors, and donors to keep our doors open. But we are just as committed to making sure every child and caregiver has access to meaningful play--regardless of their ability to pay. As such we work with families to help them find a monthly contribution that feels aligned to their budget
Become a Sustaining Member
For $20/month, you can become a Sustaining Member and help as off-set the costs for these families AND ensure the next generation can experience the same playful start you did!
It’s a small way to make a big impact—and keep the joy going strong.
