About the Venue

The Koch Family Children's Museum of Evansville, better known as cMoe, is a major indoor family destination centered on hands-on exhibits, playful learning, and repeat-visit value. It works best as a half-day museum outing rather than a quick energy-burn stop, with enough variety to serve toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary-age kids in the same visit.
