Seattle Children's Museum

Our mission is to engage children, and the people who care for them, in playful, creative, hands-on exploration and discovery. Our purpose is to encourage kids and adults alike to embrace active, lifelong learning. We create and maintain museum spaces, events and programs that are inclusive, engaging, playful and fun for ALL of the region’s kids and families. We envision a region where children, families, students and educators have a wide network of facilities to support them in learning, engagement, play and quality time together. We will strive to be an essential part of that network.

Our fantastic staff, all-day admission, and the many activities, experiences and food venues on campus ensure that you’ll enjoy your time at Seattle Children’s Museum.

Our goals:

• Set the stage for young children to build competency through engagement, interactions, physical challenges and hands-on experiences
• Renew a deep commitment to fostering literacy, art, language, numeracy and communication skills for kids from birth to 10 years old
• Connect to Seattle’s varied and diverse neighborhoods
• Create and renew exhibits that have justice, equity, inclusion, diversity, visibility, access and anti-racism built in.
• Build relationships with the early learning community in and around the region
