PAW Patrol™: Adventure Play Helps Save the Day at the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium

Dubuque, Iowa - Kids and families can now play and save the day with the heroic PAW Patrol® pups, at the PAW Patrol TM: Adventure Play exhibit, opening June 6, 2026 at the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium. Based on the hit preschool series PAW Patrol, which is produced by Spin Master Entertainment, airs on Nickelodeon and streaming on Paramount+, this interactive exhibit gives kids and their grown-ups an opportunity to run rescue missions and work together to overcome challenges in a fun and immersive environment.

Families will visit Adventure Bay with a group of eight rescue pups. Each pup is inspired by a real-world job like a firefighter (Marshall), police officer (Chase), construction worker (Rubble), pilot (Skye), and more. The heroic pups believe "no job is too big, no pup is too small," - and just as they work together to help their community on the show, families can work together to save the day with a can-do attitude at the museum. In the process, kids learn about different jobs within a community and how those real-life professionals coordinate to keep people safe and happy.

"The big takeaway for children and their grown-ups is that every team member's skills are
valued and serve an important purpose to help the whole team accomplish important goals," said Jennifer Pace Robinson, president and CEO of the museum that produced the exhibit, The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. "We want little ones to learn about citizenship, helpfulness and solving problems with the assistance of the PAW Patrol pups, who team up to help their neighbors who are in trouble."

Just like in the series, each of the pups has special skills, gadgets and vehicles to help them on their rescue missions. In the exhibit, families are invited to pop on a pup pack containing their own imaginary tools and check out the lay of the land from the Lookout Tower. They can head to Jake's Mountain and scope things out near the snowy slide to see if anyone is in trouble. They can also board the PAW Patroller, push buttons, and drive it up the mountain to help Rubble and Everest rescue a snowboarder stuck in the snow. Those with a taste for foodie adventures can whip up tasty treats in Porter's Café and help Adventure Bay win the Tallest Cake Competition by stacking cake layers as high as they can. Families can also cruise Adventure Bay aboard the Sea Patroller, steering it to rescue baby seagulls and dolphins.

"Our mission centers on inspiring stewardship of rivers and the life and culture they sustain, and you might be surprised how naturally PAW Patrol fits into that story. The pups of Adventure Bay are, at their core, stewards. They look out for their community, protect those who can't protect themselves, and understand that every creature and person has value," River Museum Director of Education Erin Martin said. "Those are the same instincts we hope to nurture in everyone who walks through our doors. If a visit to this exhibit sends a child home believing they have the power to make a difference-for their neighbors, for a sea turtle, for a river-then we've done our job."

The hands-on, immersive PAW Patrol: Adventure Play exhibit is a fun way for the whole family to learn bravery, heroism and combine their skills to problem-solve together and save the day.

PAW Patrol: Adventure Play was produced by The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, a nonprofit committed to igniting joy, wonder and curiosity by creating powerful learning experiences for children and adults.
