Curious George™: Let’s Get Curious!
Closes May 2
The insatiable curiosity of Curious George – the little monkey who has captured the imagination and hearts of millions of children and adults for generations – comes to life on January 17th at the Museum of Natural Curiosity. In Curious George: Let’s Get Curious!, visitors will climb into the imaginative world of Curious George and problem solve their way through pint-sized math, science and engineering adventures.
Based on the familiar characters in H.A. and Margret Rey’s classic stories and inspired by the animated television series on PBS Kids, the exhibit ignites young children’s natural curiosity as they explore early STEM concepts through hands-on interactive play.

Trading Post
Mondays – Saturdays | 10 am – 8 pm, Regular venue admission required to access the Trading Post
Closing May 16, 2026
The Museum of Natural Curiosity Trading Post will close on May 16, 2026, as Thanksgiving Point prepares the space for new discovery labs. For years, the Trading Post has invited explorers to observe the natural world more closely turning curiosity found under rocks, in streams, and in backyards into opportunities to learn and share discoveries. We’re grateful to the many guests who have made this program such a meaningful part of the museum experience.
What if you still have points after May 16? Good news, your Trading Post account and points aren’t going anywhere. Your account and points will continue to be accepted at Butterfly Biosphere after the closure. A selection of Trading Post prizes, including crystals and other geologic specimens, will also be available at Butterfly Biosphere alongside guest favorites like real preserved butterflies.
About the Community Insect Collection: Join Thanksgiving Point’s Community Insect Collection at Butterfly Biosphere and discover the insects living all around you. Guests are invited to make observations, then bring in insect photos or preserved specimens to share what they’ve found. In return, you’ll earn points, just like at the Trading Post at the Museum of Natural Curiosity. Your account carries over, so you can continue earning and redeeming points at Butterfly Biosphere while contributing to this growing community collection.
If the Trading Post is not open when you visit, please contact any employee and we will get it open for you!
