Wanna Be Weekends at the Museum of Discovery and Science
October 4, 2025 - November 30, 2025
$1 – $65
Join the Paw PatrolTM: Adventure Play fun every weekend at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS)! The PAW Patrol: Adventure Play traveling exhibit, presented by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and sponsored by Florida Prepaid College Savings Plan and Chewy Vet Care, is based on the preschool series PAW Patrol®, produced by Spin Master Entertainment and airing on Nickelodeon. This interactive exhibit gives kids and their grown-ups an opportunity to run rescue missions and work together to overcome challenges in a fun and immersive environment.
Families can dive into action-packed activities inspired by STEAM careers, from designing rescue vehicles and building homes to discovering the tools and talents that real-life heroes use every day. Meet local firefighters, police officers, pilots and first responders while exploring how they make a difference in our communities. Take flight with aviation-themed activities that highlight the science of flight and the skills pilots use to soar safely through the skies. Each weekend offers new opportunities to create, explore and be inspired by the heroes around us. Don’t miss this paw-some adventure that’s perfect for the whole family!
