A reinvigorated museum serving all of Seattle’s children

Research shows that kids of all ages learn best through play. For over 40 years, the Seattle Children’s Museum has encouraged active, lifelong learning through its museum exhibits, events, and programs.  

Now, after a two-year COVID closure, we’re excited to be back and rebuilding the Museum, bringing playful, creative, hands-on exploration and discovery to you – Seattle’s children and the people who care for them.  

Your ongoing visits, memberships, and donations are critical to making our mission of fostering play-based learning a reality. Together, we can welcome our visitors, collaborate with our partners, engage our neighborhoods, and support our communities. 

Join us – we can’t do it without you.
