About the Children's Museum of Phoenix

The Children’s Museum of Phoenix is OPENING SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 2008! Acting on the principle that learning is a joy, the Children’s Museum of Phoenix’s mission is to engage the minds, muscles and imaginations of children and the grown-ups who care about them. With hands-on, interactive exhibits designed for children ages birth to 10, the Museum will focus on learning through play, with emphasis on early childhood education and school-readiness.

The Children’s Museum of Phoenix will be located at 215 N. 7th Street, downtown Phoenix, at the SE corner of 7th Street and Van Buren in the historic Monroe School Building.
