## About

Children’s Museum Houston hosts an all-day National STEM Day special family-themed event. The entire children's museum transforms into a science discovery wonderland, with immersive science workshops fully open across various exhibition areas. Children can hands-on mix glowing non-Newtonian color-changing slime, assemble miniature circuit devices, and test self-made flying machines in a wind tunnel laboratory. The entire museum has flat floors and spacious direct elevators, allowing all types of wide strollers to move freely. Restrooms on each floor are equipped with safety rail changing tables and independent quiet nursing rooms, which may provide bottle warmers and comfortable nursing chairs. The museum also features quiet decompression corners for children with sensory sensitivities, making it Houston's most acclaimed indoor family science education venue.
