Discovery Days
DISCOVERY DAYS
Discovery Days are back again at MVM this summer! Curious kids are invited to investigate, create, play, and learn together on our beautiful Vineyard Haven campus. Changing weekly themes, explored in new and exciting ways, means each day offers something different to stimulate growing minds. Museum educators will lead children on learning journeys that combine summer fun and critical thinking, enhanced by each child’s curiosity and interests.
How do lighthouses actually work? Where have all the whales gone? What creature made this fossil? Together, we’ll search for all the answers at Discovery Days! Classes include exhibit exploration, hands-on investigations of artifacts, and a variety of crafts and games.
Stay tuned for 2025 dates and registration information!
