The FLIP Museum Fun, Learning, Inspiration, and Play - Children's Museums for the Portland Metro Area. First Location Now Open in Downtown Hillsboro.

Portland Location Coming Next! FLIP is a children’s museum that brings kids and families together to learn and connect with one another through play. The FLIP Museum will create an innovative and inclusive space for diverse communities to foster meaningful connections and advance equity in learning for children. The FLIP Museum is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization (Tax ID: 87-3605707). Our governing board is a team of local community advocates who care deeply about equitable learning opportunities for children and families in our community. Donate today at FLIPMuseum.org! Play is how children learn and develop into happy, healthy members of the community. Research in early childhood development has shown the positive impact of play for years. Encouragingly, some schools in the Greater Portland Metropolitan Area are beginning to integrate more play-based learning into their curriculum. But schools can’t fix our play deficit alone – and they aren’t the only ones playing a critical role in the development of our children. FLIP imagines a children’s museum that is adaptable in its delivery and inclusive in its reach. We recognize the need for locations that are equitably accessible. We aim to build an experience that captures the heart of our community and that is relevant and sustainable for future generations.
