About this activity

Lutz Children's Museum is ALL about giving kids a fun place to play and learn, and it keeps them entertained with their frequently changing exhibits and daily special programs, so there is always something new for them to enjoy!

Aimed for kids between two years and ten, the museum features activities based on culture, history and natural sciences, all in a fun and interactive environment.

One day kids might be heading down a historic "street", where they can see what life looks like in another era (always pretty different to what they know today!), or they might learn about farming history and what it really takes to live and work on a farm. It might be a 19th century farm too!

Did you know that there are actually LIVE animals in the Lutz Children's Museum too? Yep, in fact there are about 75 wild and domestic animals live at the museum for you to check out!

For those creative kids, they can be inspired by the Children's Art Gallery where kids artwork are hung in the hallway. Maybe one day your art can go up there, kids!

Founded by an art teacher, you know that the exhibits and programs are perfect for kids, so why not enjoy a day of PLAY - you know you want to kids!

Say hi to the animals for us!
