Our Vision
The Iowa Children's Museum exists to celebrate and nurture the power and potential of every child while promoting lifelong learning that is SERIOUS FUN!
Our Mission
The Iowa Children's Museum is a vibrant cultural attraction, educational family resource and vital element in the Iowa economy. The mission of The Iowa Children's Museum is to inspire every child to imagine, create, discover, and explore through the power of play. The museum serves this mission through interactive exhibits, engaging hands-on programs and community outreach. With an annual visitation of approximately 120,000 children and adults, The Iowa Children's Museum is one of the largest cultural attractions in Iowa.
How We Do It!
Over 28,000 square feet of interactive exhibits provide stimulating learning experiences designed primarily for children ages birth to twelve. The museum is committed to the principles of inclusion and serves a diverse audience. At The Iowa Children's Museum, children and their families are invited to play and learn in a place where all people are accepted and celebrated.
