Monthly

$15-$38

Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA)

Play Dates occur every month except December. Enjoy a full day of activities—including hands-on art-making, performance, films, and more.


Use the promo code PLAYDATE when reserving tickets. Families include up to 2 adults (accompanied by children 12 + under) for free.


  • Don't forget to ask visitor services for sketching supplies. In the warmer months, step outside to the Grandstand to draw inspiration from the harbor.

  • Try ICA Gallery Games for looking at and talking about the art on view.

  • Visit the Family Library in the Poss Family Mediatheque to browse kids books about art, creativity, architecture, and more.

  • Encourage curious children to imagine what an artwork feels like and how it was made rather than touching.


Parking can get tricky. There's a new parking garage behind the ICA that ranges from $15-$38.
