Families looking for fun-filled activities this spring break will find plenty to enjoy at the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum from April 4 to April 13. The museum will reopen on April 4 at 9 a.m., offering a week of interactive exhibits, live performances, and creative play designed for children and families.

“Spring Break Bonanza is packed with exciting, hands-on activities that spark creativity and imagination,” said Maggie Lancaster, CEO of GRCM. “We can’t wait to welcome families back to PLAY!” The Grand Rapids Children’s Museum extends its thanks to Michigan Education Trust for sponsoring Spring Break Bonanza and making this event possible.

This year’s Spring Break Bonanza comes after a fire closed the museum briefly and giving the museum an opportunity to rebirth a variety of exciting experiences, including hands-on activities with Boredom Fighters, Wimee’s World, We Rock the Spectrum, Opera Tots, and more. The museum’s Clay Studio will also be open daily for children to unleash their creativity, while other sensory play experiences and bubble science activities will add extra fun to the mix.
