Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum

TV show ยท 2019

A warm, upbeat PBS Kids animated series where three kids travel back in time through a secret museum to meet historical figures as children and pick up life lessons along the way. Content is squeaky clean throughout, with the mildest of mild moments confined to time-travel rushing sequences and occasional low-stakes friendship squabbles.

A great fit for preschoolers and early-elementary kids, roughly ages 4 to 7, who enjoy adventure with a learning twist.
