This free admission day at the Johnstown Children’s Museum is a great time to come for all your favorite museum activities!

Our World: Worldwide Day of Play is part of Nickelodeon’s Our World global initiative to inspire kids and provide them with tools to activate their individual and collective agency. As part of a network of more than 360 Association of Children’s Museums, member children’s museums who reach millions of families in North America, and the over 1,450 museums participating in Museums for All (a national access initiative that ACM manages), Heritage Johnstown is a vital collaborator in the Our World: Worldwide Day of Play!

This event is made possible from a grant from ACM and Nickelodeon.
