We’re Turning 25 — And You’re Invited to the Party!
🎉 Join Us for GLCM’s 25th Birthday Bash
It’s hard to believe, but The Great Lakes Children’s Museum is officially turning 25 years old. We couldn’t have done it without you. That’s why you’re invited to GLCM’s 25th Birthday Bash!
Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 16, and bring the whole family to our new location: The Curiosity Place inside the Grand Traverse Mall, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
We’re planning a full day of FREE family fun to mark this special occasion. The event will feature special programs, crafts and activities.
Special Birthday Activities
We are celebrating our big day with big fun! Activities will include:
- Stilt-walkers and other exciting entertainment.
- Special crafts and programs, for kids of all ages.
- And of course, making your own birthday cake (because what’s a party without cake?)
This celebration is our way of saying “Thank You” to the families, educators, volunteers, donors, and partners who have supported us over the years and to welcome new friends into the museum as we embark on our next chapter.
A Look Back — and Forward
In 25 years, we’ve grown from a vision to a vital part of the region’s learning landscape. From science and art to pretend play and early childhood development, the Museum has always centered on one mission: to spark curiosity and create joyful, hands-on learning experiences for children and families.
🎟️ Reserve Your Spot
Admission for this event is completely free, thanks to the incredible support of our donors and volunteers — but space is limited, and reservations are highly recommended. To ensure you can join us for this fun celebration, make a general admissions reservation for any time on August 16th.
We could use a hand!
