A Message from Our President

We’re excited to welcome families back to the museum. We’ve missed the sights and sounds of joyful play!

The museum’s closure put us in a dire financial situation. We are a nonprofit organization that relies on ticket sales, memberships and other sources to operate.

The closure happened during our busiest season, making the impact all the more severe. We have taken a number of necessary but painful measures to reduce expenses, including eliminating some staff positions and several important programs.

You can play a part in keeping the museum as strong as possible. If you’re able, please help us continue sparking children’s learning through play for many more years to come.
