Growth Takes Many Forms at the Scott Family Amazeum
At the Scott Family Amazeum, growth blossoms through programs like Little Tinkerers, Partners in Play, and KinderPlay Camp. These experiences spark curiosity, build confidence, and foster meaningful connections—not just for kids, but for families and the community.
Take Ava, for example. In a workshop, she learned to thread a needle, transforming a guided activity into a personal victory. Her determination grew with each attempt, creating an empowering milestone. Or consider Felicity, who arrived reserved but found confidence and delight in a simple ball-retrieval game, playing with growing enthusiasm. These moments are more than just play—they’re powerful steps in personal growth.
The Amazeum is also a bridge for families to connect. During one workshop, two families new to Northwest Arkansas bonded over shared experiences and their love of the Amazeum. A day of exploration grew into a friendship, showing the power of play to strengthen community ties.
Guided by STEAM principles, play at the Amazeum integrates science, art, and problem-solving into hands-on experiences. From shadow displays to tinkering, children learn by doing and playing. Research confirms that play nurtures cognitive, social-emotional, and resilience skills—true learning disguised as fun.
Programs like You+Me=Play invite caregivers to join in, creating shared adventures that enrich experiences and provide families with tools to continue playful discovery at home.
Every moment at the Amazeum—from smiles to “aha!” breakthroughs—shows the transformative power of play. Together, we’re nurturing minds, connecting families, and building a creative future—one playful step at a time.
