Children’s Museum of Yuma County extends summer hours

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Kids can enjoy longer hours of fun this summer! The Children's Museum of Yuma County is extending their Wednesday summer hours to help families.

They offer a variety of children's activities like yoga, paint classes, cool critter day with a mystery animal for kids to interact with, and more.

"So we're staying open late for our working parents, working caregivers, grandparents that maybe prefer to go out a little later at night. Maybe it's cooling down, so we're just trying to see what people respond to," said Sabra Lemmon, Executive Director the Children's Museum. "If it's going well, we'll keep it, and if it's not, we'll just call those summer hours."

They will now be open Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. They say a new playground is also expected to be ready sometime this summer.
