For a unique day trip, consider the colorful wonders of the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art the next time you're planning a day of fun. Make sure to add this spot to your bucket list for fun day activities in Massachusetts. It's great for the whole family!
Welcome to a colorful adventure fit for the whole family, a visit to the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. Here, children of all ages can explore the wonders of colorful art in all sorts of shapes and styles.
Of course, the late Eric Carle has been an inspiration for children's book illustrators for decades. The museum's mission is much the same; to always inspire that same love for art and reading in all of its visitors.
The Carle is home to over 12,000 objects, 8,500 of which are illustrations that call this museum their permanent home. There are also three art galleries, a studio, libraries, and even a theater. With all this, there's almost always an event hosted here to look forward to.
Art projects and story time are common events here at The Carle, and it's no wonder that kids love this place so much. Here, creativity is the driving force behind everything. Paint or craft along with the directions, and take your art piece where your heart desires. It's nice to just let go sometimes!
Whether you're an adult that is traveling alone and just has a love for children's book illustrations or you have a family to bring with you on this trip, this unique day trip is one to keep in mind when planning.
The Eric Carle Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays, and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
