Emotions at Play with Pixar’s Inside Out on display at the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum from June 1 through September 8, 2024
Emotions at Play with Pixar’s Inside Out, the first interactive exhibit based on the award-winning film, helps visitors – young and old – understand the important role emotions, memory and imagination play in our everyday lives. Focusing on the five core emotions featured in Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out – Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear – hands-on and digital experiences in the exhibit offer opportunities to explore some of the ways we express our emotions – and recognize emotions in others, too.

Step into Headquarters to explore the range and intensity of emotions at the Control Panel.
Explore some of the ways we show how we feel with our faces and bodies at the Emotions Mirrors.
Think about an important memory and how it made you feel – or show how you are feeling right now by creating a glowing Memory Sphere.
Use your imagination to create a story and perform it at Dream Productions.
Work to keep the train on track – what feelings do you have when you control and balance the Train of Thought.
Explore how emotions work together as you stack and balance the Emotion Blocks.
