About this place

The pavilion encourages children to explore music, language, and culture from other countries through interactive displays. Creative classes and workshops in drawing, painting, pottery, jewelry making, and digital arts are available for kids ages 3 and up, as well as families, teens, and adults.

If you are a member here

A membership to Phelps Youth Pavilion carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
