Spark Wonder and Discovery with a Family Adventure Pass

Item: One Day Family Pass for 4 People to the Mid-Michigan Children's Museum

Your winning bid unlocks a world of hands-on discovery
Located in the heart of downtown Saginaw at 315 W Genesee Avenue, the Mid-Michigan Children's Museum transforms a beautifully restored historic Garber Buick dealership into 16,000 square feet of pure imagination and learning. This One Day Family Pass admits four people to explore 12+ interactive galleries specifically designed to captivate young minds ages birth through 10.

Experience exhibits that bring learning to life

Watch your children's eyes light up as they navigate the Water, Water Everywhere exhibit, channeling streams through white pipes and experimenting with boats, water wheels, and the science of floating and sinking. Young automotive enthusiasts will love Car Works, celebrating Michigan's rich automotive heritage with hands-on mechanical exploration. Future veterinarians can care for stuffed patients in the animal clinic, while aspiring chefs serve up pretend pizzas in the fully equipped pizza café complete with kitchen and checkout counter.

The museum's crown jewel is its thoughtful design for every age. Toddlers have their own dedicated Tot Spot for safe exploration, while older children can perform on stage with costumes, create masterpieces in the Art Mart, explore aviation in A-Mazing Airways, or learn about sustainable energy at the Solar Spot. The fascinating pneumatic tube system sends colorful "poof balls" flying overhead, delighting visitors of all ages. Parents appreciate the Mind Unwind space when little ones need a quiet moment to recharge.

More than just play – it's purposeful learning

As a member of the prestigious Association of Children's Museums network, this nonprofit gem has been nurturing young minds since 2008. Every gallery aligns with Michigan school curriculum standards, ensuring that the giggles and excitement translate into genuine educational growth. The museum proudly displays artwork created by local children from its founding years – many of whom now return as parents with their own children, continuing the circle of community connection.

Practical details for planning your visit

Your family pass provides $32 in admission value and can be used Tuesday through Saturday when the museum welcomes visitors (Tuesday-Friday 10am-4pm, Saturday 10am-5pm, with seasonal Sunday hours October through May). With free parking right outside and a convenient downtown location near restaurants and other Saginaw attractions, you can easily make a full day of family fun. Most families spend 1-4 hours exploring, and you're welcome to bring your own snacks to enjoy in the eating area.

Why bid on this experience?

This isn't just a museum visit – it's an investment in curiosity, creativity, and cherished family memories. In a world of screens and structured activities, the Mid-Michigan Children's Museum offers something increasingly rare: the freedom for children to touch, explore, experiment, and learn through pure play. From future doctors examining x-rays in the Insides Out medical clinics to young farmers tending Aunt Sugar's Farm, every child finds their passion reflected in these thoughtfully crafted spaces.

Bid generously to give your family – or gift to another deserving family – a day of discovery where imagination knows no bounds and every corner holds a new adventure.
