Unlike traditional quiet galleries, CMA's JPMorgan Chase Center for Creativity encourages families to touch, build, and explore together. The museum's signature 'Wonder Room' features custom-built artistic installations where children can construct imaginative textile sculptures, play with light and shadow tables, and design structures with organic wooden blocks beneath vibrant overhead mobiles. In the Open Studio, bins of quality art supplies—from clay and watercolors to cardstock and fabrics—invite kids and parents to create original masterpieces inspired by current exhibits. Throughout the galleries, interactive 'thinking spots' and kid-height conversation prompts keep young minds engaged with historical and contemporary works. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Fully ADA-accessible with wide, open gallery doorways, level terrazzo flooring, and spacious glass elevators connecting all wings. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Private, comfortable nursing room with cushioned armchair, dimmable lighting, and changing tables located near the lower-level education wing; Schokko Cafe offers family dining. • Age Suitability: Welcomes infants and toddlers up through teenagers; creative zones feature materials adaptable to any developmental level. • Sensory Tips: Relaxed, conversational art atmosphere; hands-on rooms offer rich tactile sensations; quiet gallery corners are available for children needing a calm visual break. ## Similar picks in Columbus - [Teen Studio: Unwind at the Columbus Museum of Art](https://grassyknees.com/columbus/activities/teen-studio-unwind-at-the-columbus-museum-of-art--listing-0208003ecc4d24faeee0e1be) — Thu, Nov 12 · 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM · Columbus Museum of Art · Ages 13–19 · Free · checked Oct 24.
