When it comes to fun and learning, Hands On is “the place to go.” The Museum is a unique community resource that serves as an exciting, educational gathering place where children, parents and teachers can learn and play. With our eight galleries and fabulous art studio, we encourage children and their parents to play and learn all about science, nature, and art, in settings inspired by our beautif
