It's time to PLAY! The Works is joining the Association of Children's Museums and Nickelodeon's 2026 Worldwide Day of Play - a day dedicated to experiencing joyful learning through play.

It's the Worldwide Day of Play and we're ready to SLIME some familiar faces from our community with YOUR help!

Our celebrity "slime-ees" are helping raise funds and awareness for The Works and our mission to inspire creativity and wonder through extraordinary experiences in our community. It is through the support of wonderful partners like these that The Works can:

Provide free preschool programs for over 1000 kiddos this year through our weekly Curious Kids & Creative Corner programs
Offer over 360 out-of-this-world experiences in our SciDome Planetarium each year at no additional charge to guests
Encourage the next generation of creative designers, builders, and artists with experiences like our Think Outside the Brick gallery experience
Give back to our community through Free Family Events like Worldwide Day of Play!

So, take a look at our roster, select who you'd like to see get slimed, and make a donation to help them reach their slime goal -- all for an amazing cause!

And don't forget to join us on September 26 to get in on the action and cheer on our celebrity "Slime-ees" as they take on the slime challenge! All of our slime stars will be included in a live stream on our Facebook page during the event for anyone who can't make it.

We can't wait to get our SLIME on with you!
