About the Venue

Baraboo Children's Museum is a smaller, community-scale children's museum built around everyday imaginative play rather than flashy attractions. Official materials highlight hands-on exhibits, toddler-focused Little Buddies space, weekly activities, budget admission, and private party rentals. It is a good fit for families who want affordable indoor play with a local, volunteer-supported feel. Because the museum asks visitors to follow Facebook for the most current hours, trip planning works best when you check current updates shortly before visiting.
