They explore, create, conquer fears, develop confidence and master the world around them. While also functioning as a town square, The Children's Museum of Green Bay builds social capital for children and families in a unique, interactive environment. The museum has emerged as a leading community institution where children and adults can connect through play.
To serve the needs and interests of children by providing exhibits and programs that stimulate curiosity and captivate learning through exploration and hands-on play. To bring children and families together in a new kind of Town Square, where play inspires a passion for lifelong learning.
Children's museums are leading a movement that combines learning objectives with play in an informal learning environment that is developmentally appropriate.
The Children's Museum produces programs and exhibits that transcend age, IQ, and experience, and empower children to set their own pace.
At The Children's Museum of Green Bay, kids become excited about what they are learning while they are playing. As multidisciplinary institutions, children's museums are redefining the teaching of the arts, humanities, sciences, mathematics and human relations across generations.
To be recognized as a leader in the Midwest among museums who serve children and families. To accomplish this, we need to consistently create and develop innovative exhibits and programming that challenge and inspire children and families, in turn transforming their lives.
The Children's Museum of Green Bay began as a mobile museum until it found its permanent home.
With a new larger museum in mind, the location at Port Plaza Mall closed.
The museum reopened as part of the WaterMark project in Downtown Green Bay. The museum proved to be a catalyst for revitalization with attendance exceeding 60,000 visitors in its first year.
After 7 years with no room for expansion at the downtown location, the museum moved in the Spring of 2019. With the new museum right across the street from Bay Beach Amusement Park (which hosts close to 2.0 million visitors each season) and within walking distance to other family friendly attractions, including the Wildlife Sanctuary, we were excited to begin our next chapter.
