Our exhibit hall of 15,000 square feet features over 40 interactive, educational exhibits for families and their children to explore. The inspiration for the museum stemmed from a group of parents who wanted to create safe environments of respite and play for their children in a community that was lacking those spaces. What started as a mobile museum, with mini traveling exhibits at events around Lane County, quickly evolved into a brick-and-mortar spot welcoming over 90,000 visitors annually.
Join us on our expedition to early childhood, play-based education for all!
