Why you should go…

Jim Henson and Kermit the Frog cut the ribbon here in 1978, and the country's largest puppetry organization has enchanted audiences ever since. Its Worlds of Puppetry Museum holds a remarkable collection of Henson creations, Muppets, Fraggles, and Dark Crystal creatures, alongside puppets from cultures around the globe. Catch a family matinee or an adults-only evening performance, then build and keep your own puppet in a Create-A-Puppet Workshop.
