SUMMARY:Bubbles & Books Storytime
DESCRIPTION:Join us every Wednesday morning in July & August for Bubbles and Books on our seaside lawn! \nBubbles and Books is so much more than just storytime. It’s a seaside bubble party featuring stories\, music\, crafts\, a light snack & even an outdoor scavenger hunt. \nDoors open at 10:00 am\, with bubbles and a craft\, then the story & snacks begin about 10:20 am. We recommend you bring a cozy blanket for your little one to cuddle on while we enjoy the storybooks on the lawn. After storytime\, enjoy more bubbles and end the morning with a kid-friendly scavenger hunt in front of the Museum. \nDon’t forget sunscreen\, and we encourage little ones to come dressed in their favorite crown\, cape\, or whatever makes them feel magical! \nTickets for this event are $10 for ages 8 to adults\, and kids ages 7 and under are only $5. Hammond Castle Museum Member savings apply. \nWe recommend that you arrive 15 minutes early to allow enough time for the walk from the parking lot down to the Museum\, then for the check-in process and the walk to the lawn. There are many stairs throughout the campus and inside the Museum. Strollers are not allowed in the Museum or on the Museum Grounds\, and oversized baby carriers are not permitted in the Museum due to the many narrow passageways. \nThis ticket grants you access to the Bubbles & Books program\, which will be held on the ocean-facing lawn. If you wish to tour the Museum after this program\, ticket holders may purchase Self-Guided Tour tickets in the Museum Shop at a 20% discount. Little ones 4 and under enjoy FREE admission to guided and self-guided tours! \nRain or Shine. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. All proceeds from this program will support the restoration and preservation of the Museum.
