Give the gift of play! Support the Peoria PlayHouse Children’s Museum to help ALL children in the greater Peoria area to become explorers and creators of the world.
Adults – it’s your turn to play!
HopScotch is the Peoria PlayHouse Children’s Museum’s annual adults-only fundraising event. Leave the children at home and enjoy whiskey-based cocktails and craft brews from local restaurants and breweries. This event supports the PlayHouse’s maker programs, which help children gain the tools and skills they need to be the creators of tomorrow’s world.
Mark your calendars for HopScotch 2022, now in June, for a night of fun at the PlayHouse in our exhibits and outside on our porch.

Be Anything is an innovative program that propels “Take Your Child to Work Day” to a new level. Help a child in your life explore the careers that excite them. All children can be anything; they need only the tools and opportunity to imagine, practice, and become! Do they want to be an architect, veterinarian, fireman, meteorologist? Are they unsure, but excited to try new experiences? Be Anything! is a great way to expose children to the endless possibilities they have for their future!
Mark your calendars for October 1, 2022 to meet dozens of career professionals and learn more about what they do!
