Join us at Explore & More for FOLK ART FRIDAYS!! Beginning, Friday, July 9th, and every Friday throughout 2021 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM, we will conduct activities that will immerse children and families in different forms of folk art, from dance and movement to songs and storytelling, to costuming and crafts. Don’t miss out on the fun! Participation is FREE with paid admission. Better yet, become a member of the museum and join us every week! There are many different ways to think about folk art. In fact, there is no one definition of folk art. In collecting and displaying folk art, Explore & More considers various concepts and we are so excited to share our new program with you!

Join us for the combination of two favorite seasonal celebrations - Preparing for Winter in the Historic Village, and our Holiday Market!

Join us for a free activity day as we celebrate National Farmer’s Day! Live farm animals, fun activities and treats for all our friends.

Enjoy The Strong during exclusive hours designed for children with special sensory, developmental, or physical needs.

Get those wheels turning this weekend as STEM based activities power the play across the museum the third Saturday of each month on STEM Saturdays presented by National Grid. Come play your way through Science, Technology, Engineering & Math based activities that are so fun, kids don’t even know they’re learning! All of the fun is included with price of paid admission or membership!

Explore & More’s Study & Play programs are offered on designated school holidays and school break weeks. Our programs are led by our professional Educators. Programming is for children in grades 1-4 with a drop-off at 8:30 am and a pick-up at 4:00 pm. We are a New York State Office of Child & Family Services licensed and regulated School Age Child Care program. Fun, hands-on experiences will spark creativity, imagination, and exploration as students participate in planned thematic academic activities and venture throughout the museum to play and learn in the exhibits.

Due to unforeseen transit issues, this exhibit at The Strong Museum will open SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25!
