About Us
The Children’s Museum of Findlay, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, has been inspiring children, connecting families, and building community through exploration, exhibits, programming, and play since we opened our doors in July 2014.
The Children's Museum of Findlay offers 24 hands-on exhibits built just for kids ages 0-10. Our locally- focused exhibits provide a safe place where kids can be creative and stretch their imaginations to explore STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) concepts. Play is one of the best ways for children to increase their health and develop mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially...it's at the core of everything we do!
School groups, children with special needs, parents, caregivers, and teachers use the Museum space as a place to learn and play. Partnerships with community organizations help us provide weekly educational programming for members and non-members alike throughout the year.
