Family Days

Date: First Saturday of the Month (September - May)

Time: 10:00AM – 2:00PM

Join the Wyoming State Museum for our fun (and FREE) Family Day events! Each month we celebrate a different topic, from science and wildlife to history and culture. Gather your little learners and head over to the museum to play games, make crafts, and enjoy tons of engaging educational activities! 

You can expect nine amazing Family Days each year, running the first Saturday of the month from September through May. You can also join us for popular special events like Dino Day in the summer and Halloween at the Museum in the fall! We use June, July, and August to meet you at community gatherings like Super Day, Frontier Days, and Plein Air in the Parks.
