Stand Out. Sound Different.

Why Outdoor Musical Instruments from Percussion Play Are Perfect for Children’s Museums

Children’s museums are places where imagination runs wild and learning comes to life. At Percussion Play, we believe music should be part of that adventure. Our outdoor musical instruments are the perfect way to engage young explorers through hands-on, joyful sound experiences that inspire curiosity and creativity.

Built for outdoor use, our instruments are durable, inclusive, and designed for all ages and abilities. They transform open spaces into interactive soundscapes—encouraging children to collaborate, experiment, and play freely in nature or urban environments.

🎵 Looking for something truly unique?

At Percussion Play, we specialize in custom instrument designs that are thoughtfully tailored to your museum’s theme, location, and story. Whether your exhibits focus on local heritage, science, nature, or the arts, we’ll work closely with your team to create something that’s not only musically engaging but also visually and thematically aligned with your space.

A great example of this in action is the Madison Children’s Museum. They installed our Rainbow Trio Ensemble as part of their whimsical Wonderland area. But this wasn't a standard installation—the instruments were painted in custom colors specifically chosen to complement a vibrant wall mural nearby. The result is a beautifully cohesive, multi-sensory experience where sound, color, and creativity come together in one playful corner of the museum.

This kind of personalized design adds a one-of-a-kind touch that enhances the visitor experience and makes your museum truly memorable.
