The Terre Haute Childrenโ€™s Museum is a nonprofit institution dedicated to enriching our childrenโ€™s lives through play and exploration of science, technology, engineering and math. โ€‹โ€‹ Covering three floors and 26,000 square feet, the Terre Haute Children's Museum is a child-focused, hands-on science and technology museum. We offer a variety of interactive exhibits, including a two-story tree house, a water table, an agriculture exhibit, a toddler zone and more. The Museum, 727 Wabash Ave., is located at the corner of 8th Street and Wabash Avenue in downtown Terre Haute. Regular museum admission is $9 for kids and adults age 2 and over. Admission is free for Museum members and children under the age of 2. The Museum is also a proud member of the Access Pass Program. Through this program, families who participate in qualifying assistance programs can visit for just $2 per family member per visit.
