🌎 Happy International Museum Day!

Museums have the power to inspire curiosity and unite communities, and we are proud to be part of that mission every day.

At Florida Children’s Museum, we are more than a place to play; we are a space where families connect with cultures, community resources, and one another. Through our cultural events, exhibits, and hands-on experiences, we introduce children to traditions from around the world in fun and meaningful ways.

That’s why we’re excited to welcome our upcoming traveling exhibit, Namaste India! This immersive experience brings the culture and traditions of India to Lakeland from May 23 through September 6.
