The DoSeum Children’s Museum offers indoor and outdoor activities centered around educational concepts including STEM, language arts, and creativity for children up to age 10. Children are sure to love exciting activities such as operating a real robot, watching parades of puppets, exploring outdoor treehouses and rivers, and much more.
You'll find play areas ranging from those geared to young guests, like Little Town, a separate area where toddlers can safely play, and the Spy Academy, where older children learn to safely use digital communication. You should allow anywhere between 1 and 3 hours to enjoy the DoSeum.
