Welcome to the Museum of the Southwest's Family Fridays.
This summer we are taking our activities online and are introducing Family Sci-Friday movie nights on the last Friday of the month.
Join us each Friday for the months of June and July for fun family activities that you can do at home.
Many of our activities use supplies that you may already have at home, but we have provided a supply list for each month with links to the supplies on Amazon.com so that you can purchase what you need to create and explore along with us and our community partners.
Activities will be opened up at 10 am on the dates listed and will stay open for the rest of the day. Our activities are designed to be enjoyed at your own pace and include a variety of online and offline activities such as videos, art projects, games, and interactive web-based activities.
Have fun, explore, create, and share what you make with us on Facebook or Instagram!
