Our MissiOn...is to inspire every child to imagine, create, discover, and

explore through the power of play.

The Museum’s belief in the power of play is at the core of everything we do. Each of our exhibits and programs reflect the indisputable

tenet among child development experts that play is a child’s primary tool for cultivating the emotional, cognitive, social, and physical skills

needed for future success.

The tremendous impact of The Iowa Children’s Museum on the children growing up in our community is critically dependent

on your support tonight.
