Boston Children's Museum Joins Gabby's Dollhouse MEOWseum Discovery Days, Sept. 18–20

Boston Children's Museum is bringing a little Fairylandia magic to town. The museum has announced its participation in Gabby's Dollhouse MEOWseum Discovery Days, running September 18 through 20, in partnership with DreamWorks Animation and the Association of Children's Museums (ACM).

Now back for a second year, the nationwide event is designed to encourage family visits to children's museums while celebrating imaginative play, timed to the Fairylandia theme from Season 13 of Gabby's Dollhouse.

What's Happening in Boston

For the second year running, Boston Children's Museum will host a Meet & Greet with the Gabby costume character. Alongside that, families can take part in a full lineup of Gabby's Dollhouse-themed activities, including:

• Storytime


• A "find the Gabby Cats" scavenger hunt


• A dance party with DJ Catnip


• Hamster Kitty Fairy crafting

Activities run Friday through Sunday (Sept. 18–20) from 9:30am–3:30pm each day. They're free with paid museum admission, but advance reservations are required and capacity is limited.

Why It Matters

ACM executive director Arthur G. Affleck III noted that the organization and DreamWorks Animation share a common thread: a belief in the value of imagination, curiosity, and playful learning, pointing out that Gabby's Dollhouse and children's museums alike emphasize "social-emotional learning" alongside compassion, creativity, and teamwork.
