Worldwide Day of Play at the Mid-Hudson Discovery Museum

Get up! Get out! Come play! The Mid-Hudson Discovery Museum is thrilled to participate in "Our World: Worldwide Day of Play," presented by Nickelodeon and the Association of Children’s Museums.

This event celebrates the power of play and encourages children and families to get up, get moving, and discover the joy of playing together. Play is how children learn, connect, explore, and grow. It supports healthy development, builds confidence, sparks creativity, and helps families make meaningful memories.
