Families can also explore the Power of Play Store, featuring fun and educational toys. Curiosity Place is a vibrant, welcoming space where curiosity leads the way and children of all ages can explore, imagine, and discover.
We believe every child deserves a safe and welcoming place to explore, imagine, and grow—at their own pace and in their own way. At the Great Lakes Children’s Museum, our exhibits and programs are thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity and creativity, offering hands-on learning experiences that encourage problem-solving, collaboration, and self-expression. Children learn best through play—and we’re here to make that play meaningful. Visit us today!
You’re invited to join the Curiosity Club, a community of monthly supporters dedicated to helping us build a foundation for life-long learning through play-based exploration. Your generosity today will inspire young minds for years to come.
In recognition of their generosity, Curiosity Club members will be invited to exclusive exhibit opening events and have their names featured in Hands-on Happenings, our bi-monthly Programs and Events newsletter.
