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: 
Tuesdays-Fridays 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
