Bubbles & Books Storytime

- see all dates
Bring a blanket for storytime on the ocean-facing lawn at Hammond Castle Museum. There will be thousands of bubbles, coloring, snacks, and music too. Kids are encouraged to dress up in their favorite crown, gown, or anything else that makes them happy.
Try to arrive 15 minutes early to allow enough time for the walk from the parking lot down to the museum, the check-in process, and the walk to the lawn. There are many stairs. Please note, strollers are not permitted in the museum.
This ticket grants access to the Bubbles & Books program which will be held on the ocean-facing lawn. Ticket holders may purchase Self-Guided Tour tickets in the Museum Shop at a 20% discount. All proceeds from this program will support the restoration and preservation of the museum.
