Paws and Play Weekend
May 16, 2026 - May 17, 2026
A pet-themed weekend at the Miami Children’s Museum introduces families to animal care through interactive activities and adoption opportunities. Taking place Saturday, May 16 and Sunday, May 17, Paws and Play Weekend is presented in collaboration with Miami-Dade Animal Services.
Participants can create toys and tie-dye bandanas to donate to shelter pets while learning basic care practices to support animals at home. The program also includes the chance to meet adoptable pets through a mobile adoption unit, offering information for families considering fostering or adopting.
Designed for children and caregivers, the event combines hands-on projects with educational components focused on animal welfare and responsible pet ownership.
