A new children’s museum is coming to Riggs Park. The Explore! Children’s Museum of Washington DC is hosting a Fall Fun Fest on October 22, 2016, to give residents a sneak peek of the new museum. This blog covered in these posts the decision to locate the museum in the existing warehouses located at 3rd and Kennedy Street NE rather than in a new building to be constructed as part of a much later phase of the Art Place at Fort Totten project.
Fall Fun Fest details below:

Next Stop...Riggs Park 
This is great news! I’m happy it’ll be in an existing site rather than in the new development – hopefully that will mean better ambience, more character and bonus it’ll be available sooner. Yay!
