The Works Museum

A hands-on engineering and design museum for kids and their grown-ups.

We make engineering fun with hands-on activities, real tools, and everyday materials!

The Works Museum is committed to the safety of our visitors and staff.
To help stop the spread of COVID-19:

  • We strongly encourage all visitors to wear masks to protect our staff, visitors, and the young engineers who are unable to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
  • Do not visit the Museum if you are sick or experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, including fever of 100.4 degrees F or higher, cough, shortness of breath, flu-like symptoms in the last 72 hours, or have had a known exposure to a confirmed case of COVID-19.
  • Plan to practice social distancing from visitors outside your household.
  • The basement lunchroom will be closed to public visitors. Plan to eat meals/snacks before or after arriving, or use our picnic bench outside.
  • Visitors may purchase tickets online in advance to limit contact at the front desk.

Tickets may be purchased online in advance or at the front desk.
