Created for children aged 2-10, the Hands-on House, Children's Museum of Lancaster features self-directed exhibits designed to encourage adults and children to learn and play together. The museum is a non-profit organization built around the philosophy that learning lasts longer if it’s fun and it’s more fun if it includes doing. The exhibits, classes and programs focus on interactive, participatory activities while adults are encouraged to enhance the children’s visit by joining in play, asking questions and allowing children to lead their way. Birthday party packages include the Pee Wee Party, Birthday Blast or Deluxe Theme options and the entire museum is also available to rent for private events.
