Marbles Kids Museum Thanksgiving Turkey Tinkering & Gratitude Studio

About this adventure

Located in downtown Raleigh's Moore Square district, Marbles Kids Museum presents its annual Thanksgiving Turkey Tinkering and Gratitude Studio throughout Thanksgiving week. Children immerse themselves in joyful creative STEM and craft challenges, engineering whimsical turkey flyers, building miniature wooden cornucopias, and stamping handmade gratitude leaves to attach to the museum's giant community Gratitude Tree. The imaginative exhibits—from Splash! water play to Moneypalooza and the Idea Works maker space—invite young minds to problem-solve, collaborate, and play actively while parents connect. The museum provides an engaging, high-energy indoor sanctuary for kids out of school and visiting grandparents seeking quality holiday memories together.
