Great River Children’s Museum is proud to partner in celebrating MLK Family Day with a FREE Day of Play for families on Saturday, January 17, 2026, in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Dr. King believed in opportunity, joy, and dignity for all. By creating welcoming spaces where children and families can play, imagine, and learn together, we help foster belonging, connection, and community.
Special MLK Family Day Programming Includes:
The Dream Wall Community Mural
Words That Moved MLK: Quote Scavenger Hunt
Dream Big Storytime
Solidarity Snack Making in the Teaching Kitchen
Unity Circle Demonstrations
Families are invited to spend the day playing, exploring, and imagining together. Joyful spaces help children thrive—and help communities grow.
