Curious George: Let’s Get Curious! Final Day

Curious George: Let’s Get Curious! Final Day @ Kansas Children's Discovery Center

The insatiable curiosity of Curious George – the little monkey who has captured the imagination and hearts of millions of children and adults for 65 years – comes to life in the nationally traveling Curious George: Let’s Get Curious! exhibit, open at the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center from September 19, 2023 to January 7, 2024. Created by the Minnesota Children’s Museum, the exhibit will introduce young children to Curious George’s world and lead visitors on a fun, meaningful interactive math, science and engineering-based adventure.

Sunday, January 7 is the last day to experience this exhibit before it leaves Topeka forever.

Regular admission applies, which is $9 for children and adults, $8 for seniors, and free for infants under 12 months and Discovery Center members. Admission also lets you play all day at the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center with over 15,000 square feet of indoor educational exhibits exploring science, careers, art, building and more, plus a 4.5 acre certified Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom.
