Chicago Children’s Museum’s mission is to improve children’s lives by creating a community where play and learning connect. We focus on accessibility, inclusion, and the pursuit of childhood, ensuring valuable and memorable experiences for all visitors. Founded in 1982 by Chicagoans who took action after seeing slashes to arts programming for children throughout the city, Chicago Children’s Museum was intentionally designed for experimentation, creativity, and learning for all children. Housed in Navy Pier, the museum is a place that has provided arts programs, STEM experiments, imaginative play, and more to over 11 million children, their parents, and caregivers.
