ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND

Our vision is to be the most innovative, most loved, most inspiring, and most sustainable children’s museum in the world.

As a nonprofit institution, we rely on daily admissions, memberships, and community support to fund our daily operations.
Our commitment is to provide a welcoming space for all families.
