Hello all,A huge thank you to all the visitors that came to the Detroit Children's Museum on April 24. We had a wonderful day with planetarium shows of the Night Sky, seltzer rocket demonstrations, solar system bracelets, exhibit exploration and hands-on fun. It was great to see over 100 visitors at the museum.This week we are getting ready to make major changes to the exhibits on display. We will be removing some of the current exhibits for ones that haven't been on display for quite a while. We will also be rearranging the current areas to incorporate as much of the floor space for our visitors enjoyment as possible.We are looking forward to our next Open House on Saturday May 22. Hope to see you there.Julie Johnson

"Hello all. Wow! There are so many changes occurring at the DCM. Silverbolt is back in front of the building and is all spruced up. He looks great. I would like to thank all of our visitors for stopping by on March 21 for our first Open House. We had over 100 people stop by to take a sneak peak. Our next Open House is this weekend Saturday April 24 from 11-3. We will have our planetarium open with a night sky show. We will also have two hands-on activities specifically for space science Seltzer Rockets and Solar Bead Bracelets. Of course our exhibits will be there along with our regular hands-on activities. We are looking forward to sharing this with you. Hope to see you there!Over the past week or so we have been busy inventorying all of the artifacts and equipment, getting behind the scenes operations up and running and getting all of our programs ready for the summer and fall. This is an exciting time for our staff as we try to incorporate all the ideas we have. If you have any ideas of what you would like to see. Let us know. We'd love to hear them. Thanks for all of your support."Julie Johnson
The iconic, giant silver horse that is synonymous with the Detroit Children's Museum is back! He was removed from the front of the building for some repairs, but now Silverbolt is where he belongs! Stop by and visit with him - and send pictures! We'll post them here!
