Got a kid who likes the Dreamworks series “Gabby’s Dollhouse”? The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh will be hosting Gabby’s Dollhouse MEOWseum Discovery Days on Aug. 28, 29 and 30. And while a meet-and-greet experience with a Gabby costumed character will be a highlight for many kids, you can participate in all of the fun (storytimes, craft activities and more) even if you don’t register for a meet-and-greet ticket.
Here are the details on this celebration of imagination, creativity and teamwork:
DATES:
Friday, Aug. 28, 10:30 am – 4:30 pm
Saturday, Aug. 29, 10:15 am – 4:15 pm
Sunday, Aug. 30, 10:15 am – 4:15 pm
ACTIVITIES:
Museum visitors will find “Gabby’s Dollhouse“-themed activities including a dance party, a “Find the Gabby Cat” scavenger hunt and a fairy craft project to make Hamster Kitties, plus storytimes.
Timed tickets for a personal meet-and-greet with a Gabby-costumed character will also be available. These tickets are free with museum admission, but you have to register for them in advance. You can get those in a variety of ways:
Museum members can log into their account and reserve these tickets at no cost.
You can register online and purchase discounted admission if you qualify for Museums For All and Blue Star Families. Details here.
You can reserve tickets online by purchasing admission at the regular price ($21 for adults, $19 for kids ages 2 through 18 and seniors 65+, and free for kids under 2).
You can also reserve timed tickets in advance in person at the Admissions Desk or by calling the museum at 412-322-5058.
Our friends at the museum tell us the timed meet-and-greet slots are going quickly. So if your child is a Gabby fan, you may want to grab a slot soon. A few other admission details they shared with us: Each adult and child entering the meet-and-greet area must have their own valid admission/timed ticket, and adults must accompany children at all times.
