We love that our garden attracts so many beautiful creatures like this lovely butterfly!

There is always something new happening in Sproutside!

Did you know that Sproutside is the largest exhibit at the Flint Children’s Museum? It is the perfect place to run around and enjoy the outdoors.

There are different activities everyday including games, crafts, and educational programs.

And there are new features all the time, too! Check out the new kites that decorate the fence. Last year we introduced the Mud Pie Cafe and our new Michigan Sandbox. Keep visiting to see what’s next!

Remember, we still have Summer Fun Passes. For $30 your whole family can have unlimited museum visits through August 31st.

While you play in the sand you can learn all about out great state. Learn fun facts about Michigan cities, and try to complete a map of Michigan by placing them correctly in the sandbox.

Thanks to Tom, our facilities coordinator, for making these great new toys!
