Gilbert House Children's Museum has provided hands-on learning for children in our community for over 30 years. We are excited about the opportunities we have had over the past year to engage with children and their grown-ups as they play, learn and discover. We invite you to partner with us as we bring our signature events to the community. Your sponsorship dollars help us to keep moving forward in our mission of inspiring children to learn through creative play while providing essential funds for continued museum operations. If you'd like to hear more about our events, we'd love to connect with you. Please email Alicia Bay at executivedirector@acgilbert.org.
Halloween Re-Engineered
