TENWEST’s signature family experience invites kids & caregivers to explore big ideas through food, storytelling, and interactive discovery.
About this Event

Saturday morning at TENWEST is for families!

​Hosted at the Children’s Museum Tucson’s new annex building, this interactive, ticketed experience invites kids and caregivers to explore big ideas through food, storytelling, and hands-on discovery.

In partnership with the national nonprofit Mind Open Fork Ready Project, this special TENWEST Explores event transforms tasting into an adventure. Through guided storytime, interactive food stations, and a kid-led “passport” journey, children learn that different can be delicious and that curiosity is a superpower.

​​Curiosity starts with a single bite.


What to Expect:
  • A 9:30–11:30 AM interactive experience designed for families
  • 3–5 themed rooms where kids move at their own pace
  • Engaging book readings tied to food, culture, and exploration
  • Taste & Explore stations featuring local and heritage ingredients
  • A VIP Food Adventure Passport experience

Each child receives a VIP badge and completes hands-on challenges throughout the morning, tasting new flavors, learning food stories, and taking the Taste Bud Pledge – a simple commitment to approach the world with openness and courage.


Registration Details:
  • All attendees 12 months and older need a ticket.
  • Children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times.
  • Individual tickets and a Family 4-pack options available.
  • All tickets include full-day admission to the Children’s Museum, so families can continue the adventure after the program ends.
