I referenced this in the Museum review, but the art center offers wonderful classes, and birthday parties for children. We held our preschooler's party here a few years ago, and it was fantastic. It started in the art center, about a block away from the museum, and we took a guided tour of part of the museum, geared toward preschoolers. Then the kids did an art project (you can pick from 5 or 6), and had cake and ice cream. The staff decorated for the party, and set up and cleaned up the project. It is not a fancy building (and was very hot in the summer), and it is a bit hard to find. But, it was great fun, and a memorable day. I've heard their numerous classes are wonderful as well, and reasonably priced.
