New Hours, New Programming and Discounted Wednesdays To Celebrate Canada Admission by Donation 9:00am – 2:00pm Monday, June 30!
KITCHENER, ON | June 26, 2025 — This summer, THEMUSEUM invites families to ignite their curiosity through Art & Technology @Play. With interactive exhibitions, experiential camps, new programming, and special guest performances, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
KALEIDOSCOPE is already spinning heads featuring an immersive Vortex, Mirror Tunnel, Ball Pit, and other interactive experiences, making each visit unique! Guests can also explore the work of seven local and international artists enhanced by technology.
EYEPOOL, southwestern Ontario’s only digital immersive gallery, will also offer new experiences changing every three weeks, ensuring members and visitors have access to a wide range of experiences. The summer season launches with ALLURA | Cultivations of Imagination, a work created by students at Conestoga College School of Creative Industries. Guest favourite IMPOSSIBLE GEOMETRIES will return to the space on July 21.
In addition to refreshed exhibitions, THEMUSEUM has updated its daily programming. Summer Special Guests, a longstanding tradition, will delight visitors every Tuesday in July and August with performances included in admission. This summer, KW favourite Erick Traplin takes the stage twice to engage audiences of all ages on July 8 and August 26. Other guests include Leanne Racicot, a chemist from the University of Waterloo, furry friends from Triple C Farm and Theatricks!
New additions have also been made to THEMUSEUM’s popular Science Stage programming. This summer, guests can enjoy a new educational session highlighting the importance of pollinators, complete with hands-on learning about how pollination works. Fan favourites, Slime Time, where guests explore the science of slime and get to take some home, and Dino Toothpaste, a scientific experiment, will also be returning to the stage monthly.
To better accommodate families with young children and the public, THEMUSEUM will open at 9:00 AM, an hour earlier than usual, throughout the summer. An accessible admission rate of $12.99 will continue to be offered every Wednesday. Please note that THEMUSEUM will be closed on July 1, August 4, and September 1 & 2.
