Join Thinkery for our annual fundraising gala, Imagine That, an evening of inspiration, discovery, and community. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Mueller’s Branch Park Pavilion, this unforgettable night will bring together neighbors, friends, and community champions who believe in the power of hands-on learning and joyful discovery. Step into a world of vibrant color, playful surprises, and unexpected delights, where creativity leads the way and every corner invites discovery.

This year's event will feature a delicious seated, family-syle dinner, a dazzling silent auction, and an exciting live auction filled with one-of-a kind experiences. Enjoy playful activations throughout the evening, sip on color cocktails, and soak in the joy of a night dedicated to sparking imagination.

Imagine That is more than just a magical evening - it’s a night that makes a difference. As Austin's only children's museum, Thinkery is dedicated to inspiring the next generation of problem-solvers, innovators, and lifelong learners through hands-on, play-based experiences. Your support helps us keep that mission alive and thriving for every child. Proceeds from the event directly support Thinkery’s exhibits, programs, and community access initiatives, helping ensure that all children, regardless of background, have the chance to learn, grow, and thrive through play.
