Tinker Factory

What will you create today?

Tinker Factory is a space for children to create whatever they can dream up (with the help of their grown-up). Kid-sized tools are available for use as well as a variety of materials to work with. More guided activities, like working with circuits or sewing, will be offered on a rotating basis.

In order to keep Tinker Factory enjoyable for all guests we have some rules in place:

  • Adult supervision required at all times. (1 adult for every 6 children)
  • Must wear safety glasses provided by OCM Employees.
  • No strollers allowed inside Tinker Factory.
  • No open-toed shoes.
  • Wednesdays are We-Cycle Wednesdays! Challenge your creativity using all recyclables like cardboard, plastics, and twisty-ties! (Wood blocks will not be provided on this day.)

We also have Tinker Tables that are set up just outside of the Tinker Factory with activities for all ages!

Tinker Factory is found inside the Art Smart Center.

Thank you to Rasmussen for their support of Tinker Factory!
