The mission of Miami Children's Museum, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational institution, is to enrich the lives of children by fostering a love of learning through play and enabling children to realize their highest potential. Visitors of all ages are encouraged to play, learn, imagine, and create together. The Museum is dedicated to meeting the needs of all children in our multicultural community through interactive exhibits and programs. Miami Children's Museum was incorporated as the Miami Youth Museum in 1983. In 2003, the Museum opened its current home, a 56,500 square foot facility in the City of Miami. Today, we are recognized as one of the 10 largest children's museums in the country and the only children's museum in Miami-Dade County.The Museum provides hands-on interactive educational experiences to approximately 445,000 children and their families each year. We aim to serve all children and families who live in South Florida, embracing the diversity of our community. The Museum is also a major attraction for tourists coming to South Florida.
