Kids Takeover the Museum

2 King St W, Kingston, ON K7L 4V6, Canada

Join us for an unforgettable day where kids will rule the museum!


Murney Tower Museum and the Museum of Health Care invite you on Thursday, July 18th to a special day made just for kids! “Kids Take Over the Museum” is an exciting opportunity for children to see two local museums in a new way, made just for them!


This full-day event includes a broad range of special educational activities geared towards kids aged 5-12. Participants will have a chance to visit both museums, explore their stories, and engage in crafts, activities, tours, and workshops to look beyond the exhibits and connect with history firsthand. Two museums, two activities, twice the fun!


Event Details 


There will be four timeslots. Each timeslot will include two educational activities, one at the Murney Tower Museum and one at the Museum of Health Care. Participants will begin the first hour of their time slot at the Murney Tower Museum, which includes a guided tour and special activity. Then they will move to the Museum of Health Care to explore the galleries and discover the connection between our medical past and present through hands-on activities, for the last hour of their time slot. Participants will have the option to attend one, multiple, or all time slots.
