About PlayLab:
PlayLab is a hands-on sound playground where young visitors can discover how music works. With interactive stations that feature strings, wind, percussion, and electronic instruments, kids experiment with the building blocks of sound—pitch, volume, timbre, and vibration. Pluck a string, strike a drum, blow into an organ, or shape sound on a synth to hear how instruments create their unique voices. Designed for curiosity and creativity, PlayLab encourages visitors to listen closely, explore freely, and learn how musicians turn sound into music.
PlayLab is open to the public with free admission on Level 1 of Studio Bell every day from 10 am to 5 pm. Learn more at studiobell.ca/exhibitions/playlab.
PlayLab is made possible with support from the Alberta Museums Association and the Radomski Foundation. Backbeat weekend programming is supported by CIBC.
