Attendees were treated to a series of guided tours and live demonstrations, exploring the museum’s most captivating exhibits.

They highlighted the museum’s commitment to building stronger partnerships with schools, offering customized tours, educational packages, and STEM-aligned learning experiences. Their vision was clear — to complement classroom education with real-world curiosity and creativity.

The event also offered a rare opportunity for media representatives to capture moments of genuine wonder — teachers photographing illusions, leaders testing perspective rooms, and spontaneous discussions about reimagining Kenya’s approach to education. It was a celebration of learning, curiosity, and collaboration, beautifully framed by the museum’s playful yet profound environment.

As the Open Day concluded, guests left inspired, many expressing plans to bring their students for future visits.
