Currently, visitors to the museum can unravel the secrets of famous heroes of the past in Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum: The Exhibit—created in partnership with the popular PBS Kids series. In September, guests will be invited to climb aboard the Mystery Machine for Scooby Doo! Mansion Mayhem, an immersive problem-solving experience centered around the beloved cartoon characters. Opening Sept. 23, Ciao Bambino will introduce families to the historical and cultural contributions of Italy. The exhibit is part of The Magic House’s World Traveler Gallery, which is designed to give kids a passport to the world by introducing them to different countries. Previous exhibits have shown a spotlight on the culture and daily lives of children living in Kenya, India, Argentina and China.
Lee notes that these special exhibits only scratch the surface of what The Magic House has to offer. Her own son enjoys visiting MADE for Kids, a 7,000-square-foot makerspace operated by the museum in the Academy-Sherman Park neighborhood. “So much of what The Magic House offers is about engaging children through their creativity,” she notes. “Whether it’s allowing kids who love Xavier Riddle to experience it in person or using hands-on activities to spark interest in STEM subjects, the museum recognizes the important role play has in learning.” &
