SAVE THE DATE because Gabby’s Dollhouse MEOWseum Discovery Days will return to the Terre Haute Children’s Museum later this year with “Hey Gabby, take us to the museum!” Gabby and friends return with an expanded program honoring the power of imagination and tactile learning with cat-tastic themed activities.

Some of the activities will include:
1. Find the Gabby Cat which is a fun scavenger hunt around the Museum that leads visitors to QR code that unlocks Gabby cat headband TikTok filter;
2. Hands on arts & craft activities;
3. Access to an exclusive Gabby’s Dollhouse MEOWseum Discovery Days Activity Book; and
4. Interactive STEM activities.
Gabby’s Dollhouse is a hugely popular preschool series from DreamWorks now playing on Netflix. The mixed media series unboxes a surprise in every episode before jumping into a fantastical animated world full of adorable cat characters that live inside Gabby’s dollhouse.
Rooted in growth mindset, the series’ activity-based episodes encourage flexible thinking and learning from your mistakes. Gabby herself is positive, determined, embraces imperfection and celebrates her mistakes, turning them into opportunities for growth, true to her signature catchphrases “I failed...FANTASTICALLY!!” and “I can’t do it…YET!”
This program is a part of the “Hands-On Science” series at the Terre Haute Children’s Museum which is designed to inspire a love of science through interactive, real-world learning experiences. Each program is crafted to make science fun and accessible, encouraging children to ask questions, solve problems, and explore their natural curiosity. All activities are included with admission. Admission cost is FREE for members and $9 per person for other guests.
