Kids and families

Architecture is for kids too. At DAC, the whole family can delve into the wonderful world of architecture. On weekends and holidays, we offer family workshops in the Educatorium. You can build, draw, and have a good time. End your day with family-friendly food in DAC Café or get your pulse up on our outdoor playground.
