Help Us Unearth the Future of Open Door Preschools
Join the Open Door village for a one-of-a-kind night at Play It Forward! Together, we’ll transform the Texas Science and Natural History Museum into an after-hours experience filled with adventure and impact. Indulge in gourmet bites, crafted cocktails, and lively music, all underneath a towering tyrannosaur skeleton! At Open Door Preschools, we believe every child deserves to thrive and every bright adventure begins with play. That’s why we’re inviting you to party with the dinos at our signature fundraising event, Play It Forward: Unearth the Future.
Location: Texas Science and Natural History Museum on the UT Austin Campus
Babysitting: Free childcare is available for children 7 years and under with Open Door teachers at our M Station school. Reserve your spot here
Parking: Parking is available in the San Jacinto Garage. After parking, exit the garage on level 3 and follow the signs. Parking spaces are limited, so we highly recommend considering a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft! Both the main entrance and accessible entrance to the museum are located at 2400 Trinity Street.
