Open House weekend, November 20th & 21st!

Admission is only $5 and as always, members get in free. There will be festive activities for families throughout the museum, plus giveaways for the kiddos!

Safety is a priority at Explore & More. Because of heightened COVID-19 safety measures capacity is limited to 15% occupancy and tickets must be reserved ahead of time.
Plus, from 11-3 on both November 20th and 21st, a socially distant Santa will be out front of the museum to help collect toys from Toys for Tots, with the help of the Marines, the WNY Holiday Partnership and Resurrection Life Food Pantry.
With so much difficulty this year, our goal is to spread as much joy to local children and families and help provide a sense of normalcy. The public is invited to drop off toys in person or to shop our Amazon Wishlist here if they prefer. Those who donate a new, unwrapped toy valued over $10 will receive one free admission to be used at their next visit!

You can find more information on our website exploreandmore.org

To qualify, the rental unit must be a Studio or 1-bedroom apartment located in the City of Buffalo. Rent must be within HUD Fair Market Rent guidelines and unit must pass a pre-move-in inspection. Unit must be available for occupancy in November or December 2020.
