Curious George: Let’s Get Curious!

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 fall of 2023 in Topeka! The Kansas Children’s Discovery Center will present the nationally traveling “Curious George: Let’s Get Curious!” exhibit 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.

Based on the familiar characters in H.A. and Margret Rey’s stories, “Curious George: Let’s Get Curious!” inspires young children’s natural curiosity as they explore early science, math and engineering through hands-on interactive play. This exhibit will be included in the cost of regular admission.

The exhibit will also be open during monthly free nights on September 21, October 19, November 16, and December 15.
