Highlights

  • Expanded Toddler Area: An enlarged, specially-designed space where younger children can engage in age-appropriate activities while exploring freely and safely.
  • Creative Makery: An innovation hub for aspiring problem-solvers to unleash their creativity and foster skills in design and engineering.
  • Immersive Imaginarium: A fully interactive, multi-sensory experience that encourages exploration, immersing children in a world of discovery. This is central to the “Nurture Imagination” theme throughout the redesign.
  • Large Outdoor Area: An enhanced outdoor space featuring a programmable waterfall and natural play elements, encouraging exploration.
  • Toshiko MacAdam Designed Climbing Structure: A vibrant installation by renowned artist Toshiko MacAdam, blending art with physical play through a one-of-a-kind and iconic playscape.

We believe in the power of exploration and discovery, especially in the formative years. This expansion increases the way we give kids agency to learn, explore, and grow. - Drex Owusu, Chief Learning Officer

Behind-the-scenes

We are undertaking a comprehensive modernization of the Children’s Museum to ensure that our resources and experiences are even more accessible and impactful for families. The updated dynamic environment and diverse interactives will be a space of wonder where anything goes, and children can feel free to chart their own course.
