Kids in there like:
🐄 “Bro, I’m literally a cow.”
🫎 “Nahhh, watch me become a moose.”
🦒 “Wait, I actually look majestic rn!?"

With the use of props, movement, and more, see what stories your shadow can tell in Me and My Shadow!

Thank you to Chase Gentry for the painting that shows how your shadow stacks up against animals of all sizes.

Flashback Friday!

Before the new airplane exhibit took off, it all started with one cockpit and a whole lot of imagination!

Every kid who climbed in suddenly became Captain, Co-Pilot, and in-flight service managers all at once. Meanwhile, parents were in the background, like, “I just hope this flight lands before nap time.”

Humble beginnings, but 10/10 would board that flight again!

Okay, but who wouldn’t wanna play like a giant purple squid? 🦑s

Here at The Museum, we’ve got a whole lineup of props and costumes that let kids become literally anything they can imagine — and honestly, that magic wouldn’t happen without some real MVPs behind the scenes.

Big shoutout to Miss Connie (aka the squids sidekick 💜), who volunteers her time and sewing skills to keep all our costumes and props looking absolutely top-tier.

Go peep the new props in the Me and My Shadow exhibit and the fresh costumes in Tater Tots!

🐝 EEK! IT'S NATIONAL BEE DAY! 🐝

DID YOU KNOW?
A SINGLE BEE colony can visit up to 5 MILLION flowers in one day — and together, bees help pollinate about 1 out of every 3 bites of food we eat!

We are excited to share all the flutter as it might just be a tiny hint about something blooming behind the scenes at the Children’s Museum. BUZZ in soon for a busy day of play, and stay tuned for what's coming soon!

Flashback Friday!

Remember that trip to the Children’s Museum of La Crosse… when you went in for a fun, budget-friendly afternoon and somehow left questioning whether you needed to finance a full-sized unicorn? Oh, how the toys and trends have changed in the FUN Shop!

Forget finding the whereabouts of the "Who-cow," who ended up taking home this bit of magical museum memory?

Make it a day of market and play! We are so excited to have such a wonderful event nearby and some great eats, fun local artistry, and a great place to take a break while visiting the Museum on Sundays!

See you on Sundays! Starting May 31st, mark your calendars!

Wednesday WOULD YOU RATHER?
🦖 Guide an ACTUAL velociraptor through the maze
🐖 Fly with a REAL pig across country
Ask your kiddo and comment on their choice + why!

At The Museum, you can experience both, but without the reasons why not ;)

🚨🐷 FOUND: One Very Serious Pig Bag 🐷🚨
This little baggy appears to have wandered away from its herd while enjoying museum adventures. It was found roaming the exhibits unattended.

Description:
🐷 Adorable pig bag
🎒 Filled with fun treasures

If this pig belongs to your tiny human, stop in or send a message so we can reunite you before the bag starts demanding mud puddles. You may be required to explain the secret contents of this 'Stray Kids' bag.
