Explore Washington: The Children's Museum

The Children's Museum-Seattle connects children from birth to age 10 and their families to the creativity within themselves and others, stimulates their appreciation for the richness of other cultures, and prepares them to live as citizens in a world of limitless possibilities. We do this by creating an environment where nothing is off-limits for children and everything is designed to speak their language. Through our programming, we ignite children's curiosity and encourage them to take the lead, helping them become active, life-long learners.

TCM is a trusted, engaging, and stimulating resource for our community. At the core of our vision is our belief that fun and learning are essential to developing strong individuals, healthy families and responsible citizens. Here, children discover the world around them and gain the confidence to be daring, creative thinkers. Parents realize something that their children know instinctively - that learning can really be fun. And everyone finds a deeper understanding of their own humanity, as well as of their roles and responsibilites in a world of many cultures. Together, children and the adults in their lives become stronger families. Through them, we become a stronger community. And, ultimately, we create a better world by developing individuals who:

* As global citizens, can better absorb, appreciate, and act upon the needs of a changing world;

* As active community members, can see the value in bringing people together to make connections and work toward common good;

* As employees, can use critical thinking, problem-solving, and swift adaptability to keep pace with a rapidly changing world;

* And, as family members and friends, can seek the connection between fun and learning to enhance their enjoyment of life and better understand their place in the world.

TCM serves an important and unique role that helps shape children, families, and the greater Seattle community.
