A minimum of 1 adult is required for every 6 kids.
A maximum of 4 adults are allowed for every 1 child.
We encourage adults to enjoy the exhibits and create art with or alongside their kids.
Studio capacity is limited. Reservations guarantee entry.
Reservations are not available on Saturdays. Walk-in guests are welcome to participate until we reach maximum capacity for any given session.

What will your summer fun sun look like?
These two Fun Suns are made of shapes and materials from Kaleidoscope’s studio, but you can create your sun with whatever materials you have.
- Start with a circle. A paper plate works well, or use a lid to trace a circle on paper or cardboard.
- Draw or attach fun shapes around the circle.
- Add sun flairs with tissue paper, fabric, or ribbon.
Remember…
- Everyone’s art will look different!
- Feel free to explore!
- Create any way you choose!
Have Fun!
