Big things are coming to the Children's Museum! 🚧✨

The Museum is proud to announce the launch of the Unlock Potential! Campaign. As part of this exciting next chapter, the Museum plans to break ground on a major expansion in August 2026, with a grand opening slated for Spring 2028.

This transformational project will double the Museum’s indoor space, creating more room for hands-on exhibits, STEM learning, camps, field trips, and opportunities for children and families to learn through play.

Momentum is building, and community support is helping bring this vision within reach. Every share, conversation, and contribution helps unlock potential for the next generation. 💛
