Spanish term or phrase: "Al Museo en familia"
This is the name for a new activity: special workshops for families. No further info is given yet:

"“Al Museo en familia” son talleres dirigidos a grupos familiares compuestos, al menos, por un adulto y un niño o más niños ..."

I'm not feeling very inspired today. I've got "With the Family to the Museum""Family Workshops at the Museum" and "Family Museum Visits", but I'm not thrilled by any of them.

Any suggestions for something snappy?

Thanks!

Hands-On Activity Sessions for all the Family


Explanation:
When I worked for a museum on workshop evenings they were always advertised as hands on fun activity workshops for all the family
but it's not too snappy either.
'Family Hands-On Activity Sessions'??

Asker: I like this too, but there wasn't enough content to be sure the visits were so hands-on oriented. Thanks! I'll bear it in mind for other texts.

Asker: I like this one, but it was perhaps just a bit too snazzy for the rest of the text. I'll keep it in mind for other texts, though. Thanks!

"Let's Go to the Museum"


Explanation:
I know this suggestion doesn't include the idea of "family," but the rest of the sentence makes that clear.

Asker: I like this, too - but the name of the activity has to include the word "Family", as there is a list of the different activities at the end, and it's a heading in text with other types of activities. Thanks anyway, Kathryn.
