Tot*Spot Transformation in Progress

August 4, 2025

Tot*Spot Is Moving... But the Fun Isn’t Going Anywhere!

What's Happening?

Beginning Aug. 18, Tot*Spot will undergo a transformation to something BIG: Our entire 2nd floor is being reimagined with a brand-new Early Childhood exhibit! But don’t worry, we’re keeping our tiniest visitors front and center every step of the way and moving Tot*Spot to a temporary space.

 

Where is the temporary Tot*Spot?

During the transformation process, we're moving Tot*Spot to the lower level, starting Saturday, Aug. 23.

How Can I Continue to Play?

You can visit our temporary Tot*Spot or your little ones can still play, explore, and wiggle their bodies during our Total Toddler Takeover! From pop-up play zones to toddler-friendly activities all around the Museum, there’s plenty to keep those busy hands and feet engaged. Here's more on how we will continue to play:

  • Explore temporary Tot*Spot in lower level, beginning Saturday, Aug. 23.
  • Check out our Total Toddler Takeover events to see what’s happening and where!
  • Find toddler-friendly exhibit components all around the Museum on the Toddler Trail map. (También disponible en Español)
  • Got a baby in tow that week? Head to the Tree Top Room, where we’ve set up a cozy Baby Zone for safe, soft play as well as a peaceful nursing nook just for caregivers.

When Is the new Early Childhood exhibit opening?

Stay tuned for more exciting news! We can’t wait to welcome you back to the new space soon. In the meantime, we’ve got all the joy and play your littles need!
