Our museum mission is to inspire creativity, curiosity and lifelong learning for every child in our community. Support us on #GivingTuesday to develop our Exploration Portal, an exciting new space for intensive math and science learning that will complement Bill’s Backyard, our half-acre outdoor learning environment. Your donation will be the spark that propels this project forward. Join us on November 27 for this global giving movement where anyone, anywhere, can participate!
We will update this page with more details soon!
