Family Day

Fun, Educational, Hands-On Programs for the Whole Family

Looking for creative, engaging activities for the whole family? AMP’s Family Days offer an exciting lineup of hands-on activities for children of all ages. Games, storytimes, art projects, and interactive learning programs spark kids’ curiosity and creativity—and celebrate the “art of work.” AMP’s Family Days are the perfect way to spend quality time together. Free admission for kids!

Activities for All Ages

Got older kids? We’ve got you covered! AMP’s Family Days feature creative experiences for tweens and teens alongside activities for younger children. Everyone gets to participate in hands-on, enriching experiences.

Family Days also coincide with AMP’s popular Teen Art Studio (ages 13 to 18). In this creative makerspace, teens explore artistic mediums together, led by a teaching artist. (Teen Art Studio materials fee: $5—or free with an AMP Annual Student Pass: $25)
