GIVE THE GIFT OF PLAY

Gift ideas

Experiences make the best gift! This holiday season, give hands-on opportunities to learn and play.

Gift Cards

Digital gift cards are sent directly to your inbox!​ Your favorite little learner can redeem these digital gift cards for a day of play in our exhibits, a membership, items for our gift shop, and more.

Membership

Members can come play as often as they like and take advantage of exclusive discounts. 

Purchasing a membership for someone else? We recommend giving them a gift card! This allows them to put the membership under their own name and start the 12 months of fun at the time that’s right for them.

Plan A Visit

Spend a day at The Iowa Children’s Museum and create memories your family won’t soon forget. Learning has never been more fun! 

We are open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Check out our event calendar for more details about events, family workshops, and specials programming.

Think Tank Gift Shop

Looking for a unique, educational gift? Come find us in Coral Ridge Mail! We stock a variety of toys you won’t find anywhere else!
