Spark your little one's curiosity with this program designed for the youngest explorer in your family! During each session, toddlers and their caregivers will discover a different nature or science theme through open-ended play, sensory exploration, movement, songs, stories, hands-on museum specimens, and a simple craft to take home. This is a recurring program, but the specific theme, activities, and materials will change each week, encouraging children to explore the natural world through curiosity, creativity, and play.

At least one adult must register and participate with each child. This program is designed for children 18 months–4 years old. This program meets at the MMA Natural Science Museum, 7 Milk Street, Nantucket, MA. Pre-registration is recommended, as programs do fill up, but walk-ins are welcome subject to availability. Program begins promptly at the scheduled start time.

Cost Per Participant: $15 (adult chaperones, free)

Cancellation and Refund Policy: We understand that plans change!  Because we are a small non-profit that benefits from the contributions made by our generous patrons and supporters, cancellations make it more challenging for us to manage program enrollment. Tickets are non-refundable, should you choose to cancel. However, tickets are eligible for an exchange before the date and time of the scheduled program subject to a $5 rescheduling service fee, per reservation, and program availability. If you wish to reschedule, please contact us at info@mariamitchell.org. 

In the event of a complete event or program cancellation by us ticket-holders will receive a ticket exchange or refund. Requests for exchanges or refunds must be made in writing, and received, no more than seven days from the date printed on the ticket. Rescheduling is not guaranteed and is based on current availability. No refund or credit will be given if the ticket holder requests a time that is unavailable for any reason. 

All offerings are subject to cancellation by the MMA at any time, with or without notice for reasons deemed necessary by the organization. In the event of a cancellation by us, we will make every effort to provide a ticket exchange at an amenable date and time to both parties and if we cannot, we will refund the purchase and credit the original payment method.
