One more week to PLAY before our September Spiff-Up!

It’s our final week before we roll up our sleeves for our annual deep clean, so come squeeze in some playtime before we close for a couple of weeks!

WEDNESDAY | Donation Wednesday | 1–5 PM
Come play and pay what you can! Regular admission is waived from 1–5 PM, and you choose what you’d like to donate — from $0 on up. Same museum. Same play. You choose what you pay!

Then keep the play going all week because…

Fascinate-U will be CLOSED September 7–21 while our team gives the museum a BIG deep clean, tackles projects, refreshes some spaces, and gets everything ready for an exciting fall!

And when we reopen… there will be NEW things to discover!

We’ll be debuting new programs along with some changes around the museum, and we can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on!

Back-to-school season is officially here!

Some of our friends are already back in the classroom, while many of our Cumberland County families are heading back this week! Whether you’re starting a brand-new school year or settling into your new routine, we hope it’s a GREAT one!

We have a quieter week at Fascinate-U, but there’s still plenty of time to PLAY!

WEDNESDAY | 1–5 PM — Donation Wednesday
Admission is waived from 1–5 PM, and families may donate any amount they choose to support Fascinate-U.

There are just TWO Donation Wednesdays remaining before our September Spiff Up! We have some exciting changes coming to our fall program lineup, and we can’t wait to share more soon.

THURSDAY | 11 AM — Together Time Tales
This week we’re reading Dragons Love Tacos! After the story, little readers can make their own paper taco craft. Just remember… no spicy salsa for the dragons!

And the rest of the week? Come PLAY!
We’re open our regular hours for pretending, creating, exploring, and making memories together.

Here’s to a fantastic school year — and plenty of PLAY along the way!

U Team Creative Takeover: Day 5

We’re ending our Creative Takeover by taking to the skies!

Today’s U Team-created video features our Airport, where you color your very own aircraft then watch as YOUR creation comes to life and flies across the wall!

It’s been so much fun sharing the ideas our U Team members dreamed up this week. Each video started with THEIR creativity, and we loved giving them the chance to take the lead and show off Fascinate-U in their own way.

Now it’s time to find our next group of creative thinkers!

Applications for this year’s U Team are OPEN until August 31st!
https://www.fascinate-u.com/the-u-team

If you know a young person who has big ideas, loves Fascinate-U, and wants their voice to be heard, encourage them to apply!

And to this year’s U Team - thanks for taking over!

U Team Creative Takeover: Day 4!

What will YOU be at Fascinate-U?

At Fascinate-U, imagination opens up a world of possibilities, and today’s U Team-created video is all about discovering who you can be when you play!

Each video in our Creative Takeover was dreamed up by one of our U Team members, giving them the chance to share their own ideas and creativity with YOU.

And maybe next year, one of those ideas could be yours!

Applications for this year’s U Team are OPEN NOW! https://www.fascinate-u.com/the-u-team

U Team Creative Takeover: Day 3!

Grab a cart — it’s time to shop!

For Day 3 of our U Team Creative Takeover, one of our U Team members decided to show off one of the many ways kids can use their imaginations at Fascinate-U: pretend grocery shopping!

Fill up your cart at the Grocery Store, pick out your favorites at the Farmers Market, and let your imagination do the rest.

And remember, each video you’re seeing this week started with an idea from one of our U Team members!

Think you have some creative ideas of your own? Applications for this year’s U Team are OPEN NOW! https://www.fascinate-u.com/the-u-team
