Providence Children's Museum (PCM) is celebrating school vacation week with eight days of special programming. From Feb. 15 to 22, the museum will transform into a wonderland of discovery where young explorers (ages 0-11) can engineer, dance, meet amazing animals, and much more.

 

"We've packed every single day with mind-blowing activities that will have kids bouncing with excitement - from getting up close with baby goats to creating with real engineers, from grooving to live music to meeting incredible reptiles. It's exactly what PCM is all about - sparking joy and curiosity in ways that make kids forget they're even learning. Trust me, this is going to be the kind of vacation week that kids will be talking about for months!" said Caroline Payson, the museum's executive director.
