The Great Lakes Children's Museum

Mission: To provide a foundation for lifelong learning through play-based exploration.

The Great Lakes Children’s Museum is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization that was incorporated as a Michigan nonprofit corporation in 1998 and obtained formal acknowledgment of its tax-exempt status from the IRS in 2000.

The museum was created to provide hands-on, interactive, and informal educational environments for children and the adults in their lives that invite curiosity, allow exploration, encourage participation and celebrate the child-like wonder in all of us.

The Great Lakes Children’s Museum offers hands-on, inquiry-based, educational FUN for people of all ages. We offer a collection of permanent exhibits, rotating exhibits, programs and special events to bring out the wonder of learning in guests of all ages.

Together, we cultivate curious kids!
