Kidsville at the Parthenon has resumed in a socially-distanced format. Although we will not be hosting our usual on-site activities until further notice, families with children ages 12 and under can enter the Parthenon for free on Saturdays from 11 AM - 1 PM to visit the museum, view that week’s theme in our Kidsville contactless display, and pick up a Kidsville Take-Home Activity Kit (while supplies last) to explore the theme with an activity at home.

Simply wait in line at the ticket counter and inform the Parthenon staff member that you are there for Kidsville. Admission will be waived for your entire party. Kyla or Nikki from Kidsville will be upstairs in Parthenon's Treasury Room (which is located behind the large Naos room that houses Athena) where you can view that week’s display and pick up your activity kit.
