Every child is born curious—and that curiosity deserves space to grow.

At the Children’s Museum of Central Oregon, we’re creating that space: a place where play sparks learning, imagination fuels discovery, and our entire community helps build a brighter future for the youngest among us.

Today, we’re on the move—bringing hands-on STEAM exhibits to schools, libraries, and community spaces across Central Oregon. But our vision reaches further: a permanent home where children and families can return again and again to imagine, explore, and grow—together.

Built for Curious Minds

We’re building more than a museum—we’re creating a vibrant hub for discovery, creativity, and connection. We envision a Central Oregon where every child has access to enriching, hands-on learning experiences that inspire lifelong curiosity.

 

Through interactive STEAM exhibits, impactful programs, and purposeful play, we empower children from birth to tweens to joyfully explore their world.

Play Builds Brains

It’s time to build a place that meets the needs—and nurtures the possibilities—of our community’s youngest learners.

The children of Central Oregon need spaces designed just for them, where they can explore, question, and create.

Together, We’ll Build Wonder

Built for the community we serve, our project is shaped by focus groups, listening sessions, and input from STEAM experts, educators, and museum design professionals. We’re committed to creating a space that truly reflects our children’s needs and inspires lifelong learning.

To make this vision a reality, we rely on your ongoing support. Together, we can create a vibrant center of curiosity and play for Central Oregon’s children!
