About the Venue

Play Sharity Children's Museum & Library is a small nonprofit children's museum in downtown Deming designed around interactive play, community connection, and family learning. Instead of a big climbing structure, the draw here is hands-on exploration and rotating kid-centered experiences that feel welcoming to younger children and caregivers. The museum also runs as a resource library and offers memberships, special events, and private birthday bookings. For families in western parts of the region, it is one of the clearest indoor play options that still feels local and community-driven.
