MagnaTiles Annoucement

Due to the recent historical flooding in Thailand, MagnaTiles' production facilities have been closed since early October. We are temporarily out of all of the products. They will be available again early next year.

Our hearts go out to the people of Thailand for their suffering and hardship that have accompanied this natural disaster.

Your interest and understanding is appreciated, and we hope to see you in the store soon.

We've carefully curated a selection of perfect birthday presents for your favorite baby, toddler or preschooler. Let us help you pick the best gift, reasonably priced and with a 15% discount for our members. We carry everything from goodie bag treats to that special "big" present.

Museum Favorites

Recreate the Museum in your own home with some of our favorites:

  • MagnaTiles: Build a tall tower, just like in the Art Studios.
  • Folkmanis Puppets: Amazingly life-like, as seen in Wave Workshop and Tot Spot.

Is it foggy, windy or rainy today? Pick up adorable rain gear (boots, umbrellas and coats) or Museum-logo sweatshirts and t-shirts.

All available "to go" from the Museum Store - stop by on your way out, and don't miss the train table for your kids to play with while you shop!
