Friday, September 11, 2026
10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Step into the colorful world of Gabby’s Dollhouse for three days of creativity, art, and play at Brooklyn Children’s Museum!
Meet the costumed character Gabby at scheduled Meet & Greet sessions, dance on the rooftop to DJ Catnip’s playlist, and explore hands-on activities inspired by Gabby and her kitty friends.
Advance online tickets are required. Tickets will not be sold at the Museum during MEOWseum Discovery Days.
Tickets
Families who want to meet Gabby need two separate tickets:
- One timed Meet & Greet ticket for their family or group
- Event admission for everyone participating
Meet & Greet reservations are limited. We recommend reserving an available Meet & Greet session first, then purchasing event admission for the same date.
