School is back in session this Fall and the classroom can once again be an exciting and sometimes daunting experience! But you can get ready for the new school year at Miami Children’s Museum’s annual Back to School Bash taking place on Saturday, August 6 – Sunday, August 7 at the Museum located at 980 MacArthur Causeway on Watson Island in Miami. This event is sponsored by Florida Dairy Farmers.

With the new school year fast approaching, the Museum is preparing in the most playful way possible! You get to hop on an authentic School Bus, decorate school folders in the Art Studio using math-based art skills, enjoy interactive story times with the Theater Troupe, participate in a Back-to-School raffle to win school supplies, try our Lunch Tray Relay and sharpen your math skills in a counting obstacle course, and try a STEM activity to get your brain waves moving. Then visit with local partners for resources to aid in your child’s success during the school year, including the Miami-Dade Public Library, The Parent Academy, and FIU’s Department of Children and Families.

Miami Children’s Museum’s Back-to-School Bash is the perfect way for your children to get ready to enter the classroom this year. Make sure to join us and give your children the head start they need to take on the new school year!
