    A bittersweet update: We had to remove the cave du A bittersweet update: We had to remove the cave due to updates to the construction timeline for our Grand Opening. Because losing this beloved exhibit is a large part of the current museum, admission is 25% off until our last day open, June 1st. We understand the sadness that comes with losing one of our favorite exhibits, but we are happy to share that large parts of the cave will be rehomed to another Children's Museum in PA for other children to enjoy 🌟 Stay on the lookout for new, exciting exhibits coming soon to the new space!
