Dallas Museum of Art

We all know the DMA is jampacked with beautiful and unique art for adults, but during the month of April, there’s a bunch of unique art programs the kids will love too! Little ones will love the Toddler Art: Going Green program (April 5, 9 and 12) where two and three-year-olds can explore supersized striped and spotted leaves ‘growing’ in the art galleries and play with new friends in Arturo’s Nest, the Museums kid-friendly space. Older children and teens can also explore the museum by night with the April Late Night programs on April 19, featuring pop-up art spot installations, kids tour guides, and a single Hamilton sing-a-long lead by the Dallas Hamiltontunes.  Late night sessions are from 6 to 11 p.m.

Rainbow Vomit

If you have a teen or tween who loves a selfie, you’ll enjoy taking them to Rainbow Vomit, a technicolor interactive art adventure. First opened in January, the exhibit is back by popular demand with new art installations and upgrades open through May 6. From superheroes and unicorns to crazy bright colors and rooms which look like they’ve flown out of the pages of a comic book, kids will have the chance to get lost in the 2,600-sq. ft. space of extraordinary photo opportunities and unique touchable elements. Designed for all ages, teens and kids can revel in the instagrammable visuals while parents can let loose, letting their silly side soar with the rainbow of crazy colors.
