events at The Magic House

Come play at The Magic House for free during Emerson Free Family Night. Capacity is limited.

New Year's revelers of all ages (even those with a bedtime!) are invited to ring in the new year a little bit early with a special Noontime New Year's Eve celebration at The Magic House and MADE for Kids.

It's the Not-So-Haunted House that is oh-so-fun and where storybook characters come alive! Kids are invited to dress in their most "boo-tiful" Halloween costumes and have a ghoulishly good time going on a spook-tacular scavenger hunt throughout The Magic House to find trick-or-treat locations, and seeing their favorite storybook characters.

Roll on over to The Magic House for a truckload of fun! Truck lovers of all ages will get up close to a crane, firetruck, bucket truck, sleeper cab and more! 

Enjoy farm-themed fun at The Magic House during the Fall Farm Festival. Local farmers will be on hand to talk to kids about where their food comes from, and they'll bring along a real tractor and farm animals for kids to see up close in the museum's front Play Garden!

The Magic House will be blooming with eco-friendly activities in preparation for Earth Day! Put your green thumbs to work as you plant seeds in planter pods and make your own recycled paper. The Museum's Art Studio and Make-It Workshop will also feature "green" activities that are sure to inspire creativity and environmental responsibility. 

Adventurous families are invited to pan for gold and gems, learn how to fly fish, meet Izzy the Grizzlie and experience private playtime in the Molly of Denali: An Alaskan Adventure exhibit.
