Once Upon A Castle: Storytime & Puppet Theatre

Join us for this completely free monthly program created just for toddlers, young children, and their caregivers. If you are looking for high-quality, budget-friendly programming, this is your perfect Friday morning destination!

What to Expect

Each month, the adventure begins with interactive storybooks that spark big imaginations. Then, get ready for the main event: a showstopping puppet theatre production written, built, and performed entirely by the creative museum staff!

September will feature an entirely new storyline with exciting animals for your children to meet in "Grits' Grand Adventure!"

Hang on tight! Grits is taking us rafting down the Mississippi as he hunts for a new place that Mama Roux and her babies can call home. Help him navigate a singing frog, a biting alligator, and a sleek river otter all before he lands on the most prime real estate of all—an old Cajun's backyard!

Connecting Play to Real-World Learning

This event ties directly into the museum’s current traveling exhibits:

Afterward, you can confidently explore our stunning galleries together, turning historic exhibits into an accessible, interactive playground for your little ones!
