Kohl Children’s Museum reopens June 2, debuts Summerburst outdoor event

Kohl Children’s Museum will re-open its full exhibit environment to the public beginning June 2. Crowd capacity will initially be limited to 25 percent (with advance reservations required) and face coverings remain mandatory. Regular sanitizing and nightly deep cleaning sessions will be taking place as well.

A new permanent exhibit built during the pandemic closure will be available too. Build It allows children to explore construction and engineering concepts through building with various shapes and sizes of building blocks.

Another noteworthy addition: From June 2-Aug. 29, the museum will also offer SummerBurst, a new outdoor seasonal event with five STEAM-focused activity stations around the campus that include a butterfly tent, insect scavenger hunt, trike track, outdoor art studio and an augmented reality math trail.

Indoor museum admission tickets are $15 for adults and children. SummerBurst tickets for the general public are $15 for adults and children, while members receive discounts on tickets at $10 each for children and $5 for adults. Memberships are also now available for purchase beginning at $165, and provide one year of free admission to the museum exhibits.
