About the Event

PLAY. CREATE. DISCOVER. 

Calling all artists, explorers, builders, make-believers and dreamers! 

Visit the Autry’s family play space, and you just might build a barn after telling a campfire yarn. Learn about the Texas longhorn while pondering how the West was worn, play with a train or say hi to some dogbane. You might even look at some art and then pretend shop with a grocery cart! Enjoy the library after drawing an elderberry and get offline while sitting underneath the grapevine. 

Discover all kinds of things about the American West. With rotating family-friendly activities, you’re sure to be impressed!

Family Play Space hours are:
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

Ideal for families with children ages 2–10.

Sponsors

The Family Play Space is sponsored by The Hearst Foundations, The Henry L. Guenther Foundation, and Marleen and Bruce Rognlien.
