About the Venue

Amelia Park Children's Museum is designed for children roughly ages 1 to 7 and leans heavily into hands-on discovery. Families can explore exhibits like Campsite, Little Bank, Dinosaur Dig, Outer Space, Construction Zone, Wellness Center, Grocery Store/Cafe, Toddler Area, and more, then layer in the museum's daily programs at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. It is one of the region's strongest choices for families who want imaginative, educational indoor play without the noise level of a trampoline park.
