More than just a play space!
‍

ArtVille is an engaging environment designed with the unique requirements of children birth to age 4.

Young crawlers to curious toddlers will interact in a town built to cultivate exploration, imagination and creative expression.

Imaginative play in the town encourages social-emotional and language development.

Visiting ArtVille with older children?
‍

Older children may visit but only as helpers, as a consideration to our younger visitors.
‍

Please note: Children may be asked to relocate to another area of the museum if they are playing rough or become disruptive to the safe play of others.


Help us keep our space tidy!

‍We ask you to place any soiled materials in our red “Yuck Buckets” for cleaning.

We appreciate your help!


ArtVille is a "Socks-Only" Space.

ALL visitors (adults and children) are required to wear socks while present to help maintain the cleanliness of the space. If you forget socks, we offer some for purchase in the i.d.e.a. Shop.
