About

Summer Camps

At The Works Museum, kids are the designers, creators, and problem solvers – the engineers! Our camps for kids ages 5-12 include topics like robotics, architecture, coding, LEGO engineering, carpentry, and more. With half-day, whole-day, 1-day, and 4-day options, there’s a summer camp that will fit your family’s schedule.

Birthday Parties For Kids

Looking for a unique and fun birthday party for your child? Host your next celebration at The Works Museum!

Kids and their grown-ups love the easy-to-supervise open floor plan, where guests can enjoy hands-on fun by engineering the elements of a house, testing out a giant kaleidoscope, building and racing K’NEX cars down a ramp, and much more. Our birthday parties aren’t just fun for kids—they’re stress-free parties for parents, too! All you provide is cake and presents, and we’ll take care of the rest. We supply all paper products and table wrap, and our staff handles the cleanup. Plus, you don’t have to worry about party favors—each guest engineers their own with a hands-on project led by one of our staff members.

A hands-on engineering and design museum for kids and their grown-ups.
