Exciting new adventures await at the McKenna Children’s Museum, where young explorers will step into a brand-new hospital clinic exhibit, designed for immersive learning, hands-on discovery, and endless fun!

On Friday, June 20, the Museum and CHRISTUS Health will celebrate the grand opening of the exhibit during the Summer Kickoff Party, which will run from 11 AM to 2 PM.

The exhibit, presented in partnership with CHRISTUS Santa Rosa New Braunfels and CHRISTUS Children’s, will bring healthcare to life through engaging experiences. Children will have the chance to explore the medical world through playful and interactive experiences such as an X-ray station, a new and improved ambulance, and other exciting features.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with CHRISTUS on this exhibit,” said McKenna Foundation CEO Alice Jewell. “This space will allow children to learn about healthcare in an immersive way. We are grateful to CHRISTUS for bringing this vision to life and look forward to seeing our guests enjoy it.”

Alongside the health clinic exhibit’s grand opening, the Summer Kickoff Party will feature a variety of engaging health-related activities. Young visitors can participate in a teddy bear clinic, where they’ll perform diaper changes and take X-rays—teddy bears will be provided.

The event will also include a children’s hospital ambulance, photos in surgical gear, a surgical robot demonstration, and more. Beyond the hands-on learning experiences, visitors can also enjoy music and delicious food from Munchies Locos, Food Coma, and Comal Pops throughout the event.

Activities are included with Museum admission, and don’t forget to wear CHRISTUS purple for a special $6 admission.
