Fun for the Little Ones!
The museum is a place to explore, learn new things, and have fun! Did you know that play is vital to children’s social and emotional growth? Plus, it contributes to fine and gross motor development and body awareness. As PBS’s Mr. Rogers put it, “Play is really the work of childhood.” Every day, we work hard to provide a hands-on, “Play and Learn” environment that engages and motivates children to use their curiosity and creativity to learn about the wonders of our world. We rely on talented staff, dedicated volunteers and generous community support to make our mission a reality. Let’s learn about the museum! • Big and bold: Our bright and friendly building – formerly a car dealership! – has over 16,000 square feet of gallery space. In addition, we have classrooms that we use for field trips, meetings, and birthday parties; a gift shop focused on creativity and learning; and administrative offices. • Designed just for kids: We have 10 galleries designed specifically for guests age 10 and under. Each gallery was developed around Michigan school curriculum with input from children’s museum specialists, educators, and KIDS! • Play for all: From our adaptive play web tool Museum4Me to day camp scholarships to busing assistance, we want to minimize barriers to play. Do you have an idea of how to improve museum access? We are always learning and we would be happy to hear from you! We are privileged to serve a diverse community and we are excited for what the future will bring! Because, unlike traditional museums, the Mid-Michigan Children’s Museum is all about the future – future artists, future scientists, future engineers … future community members!

Fun for the Little Ones!
Our girls are 2 and 4...And they both love the place. They can easily get 'lost' (in a good way) in all of the various activities and things to see and things to touch. Great value for a fun few hours--especially if you buy a family membership. Two or three visits a year covers your cost. Speaking of, the area is safe, the property is safe and they seem to do a great job of keeping an eye on your kids, but parents--pull your head out of your iPhone and interact with them there--it's fun for us adults too! I personally have fun with the water table and the vacuum tubes that shoot the towels into the air. Also keep an eye out for special events--they have lots of fun things going on special occasions.

Fun Time!
My son had been to a birthday party here and had so much fun he begged to go back. We went during the day and there were only 2 other sets of people there. My two year old loved "driving" the cars and my seven year old loves the giant blocks. My toddler did try to climb in the water table so a change of clothes may be needed for little ones. We ended up buying a membership because they love it so much.
