Museum of Life and Science's Messtival
- When: Saturday, July 25, 2026, 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
- Location: 433 W. Murray Ave, Durham, NC 27704
- Cost: Included with General Admission of $24 per adult or $19 per child ages 3-15. Children ages 2 and under are free.
Get ready for a messy, mucky, marvelous Museum day! Bring a change of clothes and dive into our hands-on activities with goo galore. From mud pies and splatter paint to sticky slime and face paint, we’ll have lots of sensory interactive play that’s anything but tidy. This year, we’ll be joined by local artists like Stacy Lewis to showcase the messy creative process as well!
Most messy activities will be outdoors (weather permitting) with opportunities to wash off in between. We recommend you come dressed for mess, but exactly how messy you get is up to you. Keep an eye on this page for our ‘Know Before You Goo’ Guide to plan your day. This event won’t be neat, but it will be cool!
