Teddy Bear Hospital

By popular demand, the Teddy Bear Hospital is back this summer! The Museum of Health Care invites children and their families to bring their beloved teddy bears (or any favourite stuffed animal) in for a fun, hands-on health check-up on Friday, June 27, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Little ones will meet with friendly and knowledgeable “teddy specialists” who will guide them through a gentle and educational check-up process—helping kids feel comfortable with health care and understand that doctors and nurses are here to help.

This beloved Kingston tradition is a fantastic way to nurture young imaginations, reduce anxiety about doctor visits, and provide a safe and playful environment for children to explore the world of health and wellness.
