Our Story

As a leader in imaginative and creative play, The Childrenโ€™s Museum of Cleveland (CMC) gives children a place and the tools to write their own script and discover their own adventures through our interactive exhibits and programs.

We offer an open-ended learning environment giving children the opportunity to imagine, experiment, problem-solve and communicate โ€“ building skills for a 21st-century learner. We are an advocate for self-directed play as one of the best ways for a young child to learn.

We are a museum for all children โ€“ of all abilities, backgrounds, and ages. In our beautiful, historic new home, we respect not only childhood but also the parent and caregiver as the childโ€™s first teacher. As a vital community resource, we provide experiences that can bridge a childโ€™s learning between the Museum, home, and school. Itโ€™s a place for families to play, connect and learn together in an environment designed to excite, enrich and inspire. Located on Euclid Avenue between E. 36th and E. 40th streets in Midtown, the Museum features 12,000 square feet of brightly-lit exhibit spaces designed to develop 21st century skills: creativity, problem solving, communication and collaboration. It is a fully-accessible building and offers three times the number of free, public parking spaces as our former location as well as convenient access from I-90, I-77 and I-71. Open 6 days a week. CLOSED Thursdays. More at CMCleveland.org.
