About The Children's Museum of Wilmington

At our museum, we recognize that young minds need stimulation and exploration to develop. We offer a safe, clean, and inviting environment for children and their caregivers to explore and learn together. With interactive exhibits and weekly programs, children can experience the joy of learning and discovery. We don’t simply provide a space for learning and play; we strive to be a catalyst for neighborhood and community engagement. We collaborate with local institutions and organizations to create dynamic partnerships that help amplify the positive impact of our museum. We believe that working together with our community can bring out the best in our world. Finally, we aspire to be a place of possibility and hope. We strive to be a place that celebrates the natural curiosity of children and encourages them to explore and discover. We want to be a part of your child’s journey and help create memories and moments that will last a lifetime.
