Celebrate Grandparent’s Day at the Heard Museum!

At Grand Time Together, kids can race through an obstacle course, read to a bunny rabbit, or make art to take home. This special event is meant to honor grandparents and foster intergenerational connections through a day of fun, learning, and creativity.

Families with children of all ages are invited to enjoy engaging activities, hands-on art projects, special guests, and interactive experiences inspired by the museum’s exhibitions.
