Bronx Children's Museum Details
Bronx Children's Museum celebrates the natural curiosity, creativity and compassion inherent in all children. We recognize the individuality of each child and aspire to guide them—in close partnership with those who care for them—on a fun-filled journey to discover who they are. Through play and learning, we nurture children to find their voice, fulfill their potential and connect to their communities, the Bronx and the world beyond.Founded in 2005, Bronx Children's Museum is a new kind of multicultural, Bronx-inspired children's museum operating "with and without walls" geared to those from infancy through fourth grade. Since programming began in 2010, we have engaged more than 124,000 children and families at 584 different community events and 106 educational institutions.The Bronx is almost the size of Philadelphia, has 190,000 children under the age of nine, and is the only borough in New York City without an educational and cultural facility geared solely to young children and their caregivers. To complement existing outreach programs and provide the Bronx's children with an interactive place to learn and play, BxCM, with the City, will open a 13,000 square feet of space in a City-owned former powerhouse in the South Bronx in December 2022.
