This summer, families are invited to experience a whirlwind of STEAM-powered fun at Tube-a-Palooza, a limited-time exhibit at Pretend City Children’s Museum. Running now through September 1, this immersive adventure invites children to explore a vibrant world of tubes—big, small, twisty, and tall!
Designed to spark curiosity and hands-on learning, Tube-a-Palooza encourages kids to roll, race, build, and connect as they discover the science, math, and problem-solving skills hidden in play.
“Tube-a-Palooza is more than an exhibit—it’s an invitation for families to get curious together,” said Ellen Pais, Executive Director of Pretend City. “We’ve created a space where imagination and engineering meet, and every child becomes a builder, thinker, and explorer.”
Dates: May 23 – September 1, 2025
Summer Hours: Tuesday–Sunday, 10 AM – 4 PM
Special Holiday Hours: Open on Juneteenth and Labor Day
Tube-a-Palooza is included with general admission and free for Pretend City members. Perfect for ages 0–8, this exhibit offers an exciting and enriching play experience for children and families all summer long.
