SuperStars at the Children's Museum of the Lowcountry
Second Sunday of the Month
11:00am - 1:00pm

The second Sunday of every month the Museum opens its doors to children with special needs and their families for FREE. SuperStars provides children with special needs the ability to explore the Museum when it is closed to avoid crowds and over-stimulation so they get to enjoy all the exhibits at their own pace. 
SuperStars is free but registration is required. To register, contact Robin Berlinsky, Director of Education at 843.853.8962 x208 or robin@explorecml.org
