Play Is Essential 

Let's make sure every kid has the opportunity to play, learn, and dream. 

Play is more essential than ever – it’s how children learn, how they build connections, and how they engage with the world around them.  But with schools closed, extracurriculars canceled, and safe places to play closed, play is harder than ever.

Let’s change that. Donate to Port Discovery and help us bring play to more children. Your support will fund PlayPacks filled with hands-on, educational toys that children can enjoy at home. It will fund interactive programming delivered in the Museum, in communities, and via virtual platforms. And, it will bring more children to play – and play to more children.
