Make a Mess returns to the Museum this winter! Drop in each Saturday afternoon  for unstructured play for primary-aged children and their families. Create without instructions, colour without lines, and play games without rules! Unstructured play encourages creativity, mixed-age play and independence.

Make a Mess is a great opportunity to get out of the house during the cold winter months for indoor play in a fresh setting! Meet other parents, grandparents and guardians while kids play.

Snacks from home can be consumed in designated areas. Allergy Aware: The Huron County Museum is allergy aware! Please help us to create a safe and inclusive space for everyone, by thinking of visitors with food allergies. Peanut and tree nut allergies can cause a more immediate threat to life than other food-related allergies. For the safety of all visitors, the Huron County Museum asks visitors to not consume nut or nut-based products inside the museum or gaol. Please note, however, that the Huron County Museum cannot guarantee that our sites are entirely nut-free, as we are open to the public and snacks offered during programs and special events are prepared at offsite facilities.
