About Hands On Children's Museum

When it comes to fun and learning, Hands On is “the place to go” for children, their family and teachers. The Museum is a unique community resource that serves as an exciting, educational gathering place where children and parents can learn and play together!


Our Mission

The Hands On Children’s Museum stimulates curiosity, creativity and learning through fun, interactive exhibits and programs for children, families and school groups.


Where Fun & Learning Go Hand-in-Hand!

Hands On is designed for parent-child interaction, so you can have fun too! Add to your child’s Museum experience by talking with them about what they see and do as they visit the exhibits.


Hands On is Non-Profit!

Admission fees cover only half of the true cost of each visit. The rest must be made up through the generous donations from individuals and businesses. We can only operate if you purchase memberships, make donations or volunteer. For information, visit the front desk, or call (360) 956-0818.
