What if play wasn’t just for kids, but for parents too?

In this episode of Conversations with Rich Bennett, Rich welcomes Carter Polakoff, President and CEO of Port Discovery Children’s Museum, for a powerful conversation about why children’s museums are really family museums. Carter shares her journey from intern to CEO, how Port Discovery supports neurodiverse families and military households, and why joy, curiosity, and creativity are essential building blocks for lifelong learning.

You’ll hear how exhibits are designed with real input from kids, why parents deserve just as much support as children, and how play can be a tool for healing, connection, and growth.

Plus, listen to the very end for a limited-time membership discount you won’t want to miss.
