Celebrate Chinese New Year At Ptm

Event continues through Feb 21st: It’s the Year of the Goat and we are thrilled to bring the bright lights, vibrant sounds and gorgeous costumes of this ancient tradition to Please Touch Museum! Customarily a time of feasting with the family, celebration, fireworks and gift-giving, kids will learn about this special time of year through seasonal story times, a very special puppet appearance and a fantastic themed art activity.
