Description

Recognized nationally as a great museum for kids, the Children's Museum offers interactive exhibits to learn about exploring, imagination, and science--for young ones and adults alike. Kids will love scaling the climbing wall, entering a bear's den, and dressing up and performing on stage, among many other fun activities. Also, check the events calendar for special happenings throughout the year, such as the celebration of National Pig Day or The Music Jamboree. The museum expands over four floors, making it a great site to entertain for hours. After a day spent exploring, stop by the on-site store and pick up some learning-based gifts to remember your visit.
