The mission of the Grout Museum District is to provide a better understanding of our world by collecting, preserving and interpreting history and illustrating scientific principles. The District offers a wide range of programming for all ages to enhance your experience and bring historical and scientific concepts to life. Check our Calendar for current program dates and times!
Please Note: Programs are subject to demand, and may be cancelled, added or rescheduled according to interest. Refunds are given only upon cancellation by the Grout Museum District. Register early to prevent class cancellation due to low enrollment.
Summer Camps: Summer Camps at the Grout Museum District are a great way to fully engulf yourself in all things History and Science. Spend the week enjoying a wide range of activities all based around an historical or STEM related theme. Camps are available as a fun, exciting, and educational alternative to daycare.
Discovery Days: Discovery Days are held the weekend immediately following Thanksgiving and Christmas each year, rotating between the SBIVM/Grout Museum of History and Science and the Bluedorn Science Imaginarium. Different Scientific and Historical concepts and events related to a theme are covered each week.
Strolling with the Spirits: Stroll through the cemetery as actors bring some of Waterloo's earliest residents back to life through live historical interpretation.
Toddler Time: Listen to a story, make a fun craft and meet one of our animal friends.
Tea Parties: Enjoy themed tea parties, December-July, at the historic Snowden House. Participants will take part in crafts, tea and treats.
