New Exhibit Coming to The Woodlands Children's Museum

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- A big red opening will take place at The Woodlands Children's Museum Friday, Jan. 18, for an exhibit featuring a BIG RED DOG named CLIFFORD!



Board the Birdwell Island ferry and journey to the world of Clifford™, America's beloved big red dog with a heart to match. See Emily Elizabeth™ and many of the residents of Birdwell Island.



Inspired by Scholastic Entertainment's TV show, Clifford The Big Red Dog® on PBSKIDS®, the exhibit offers numerous immersive "paws-on" adventures that reinforce "Clifford's Big Ideas" - 10 simple tangible life lessons designed to help young children navigate their world. They are: Share, Play Fair, Have Respect, Work Together, Be Responsible, Be Truthful, Be Kind, Believe in Yourself, Be a Good Friend and Help Others.



Adventures with Clifford The Big Red Dog opens on Friday, Jan. 18, and runs through Sunday, May 12, 2019. The museum will be closed Sunday, Jan. 13 through Thursday, Jan. 17, while this special exhibit is installed.



Children can visit a colossal 9-foot tall Clifford with a tail to slide down, just like Emily Elizabeth does on the television show. Little visitors also can help fill Clifford's big bowl with bones using a conveyor belt and find "bone"-ified treasures at T-Bone's Beach.



"We're thrilled to have an opportunity to bring this wonderful exhibit to The Woodlands community," said Angela Colton, executive director of the museum. "Adventures with Clifford The Big Red Dog exemplifies the magic and joy that reading brings to a child's world. We encourage families to visit the museum for special, exhibit-related events, including A Big Red Valentine's Party and Meet and Greet with Clifford The Big Red Dog!"
