Join us for Heardlings Storytime!

Inspired by The Three Little Javelinas by Susan Lowell, this special Heardlings Storytime is designed for our youngest visitors including a themed stroller tour featuring desert discoveries and playful moments drawn from the beloved book. Families can pick up a copy of The Three Little Javelinas at Books & More, our museum’s bookstore and gift shop.

Heardlings Storytime is staff-facilitated, interactive, and created to spark curiosity and joy for little learners.

What are Heardlings?

The Heardlings is a family friendly initiative committed to engaging and educating children and their adult caregivers. Led by a welcoming animal guide — Archie the Jackrabbit (named after the museum’s iconic arches) — young museum-goers are invited to experience the new Heardlings Family Activity Room, and the Heardlings Art Cart. Additionally, families can enjoy signature events for youth audiences; a child-friendly menu at the Courtyard Café; Heardlings merchandise at Books & More; and HeardBeat, a youth and family e-newsletter.
