For more than a decade, the Children’s Museum of Sonoma County has championed the power of inclusive, playful learning experiences that empower young minds and prepare children for the future. The Children’s Museum has always operated as a beacon of hope where imaginations are sparked, learning flourishes, and lasting memories are created.
Current Challenges
Today, the Children’s Museum is bursting at the seams and needs more space to expand exhibits and programs. In 2014, when we first opened, the Museum welcomed 70,000 visitors. Almost 10 years later, the Museum now welcomes 200,000 guests annually. And with that growth comes a few growing pains that challenge our vision.
Solution: EXPANSION
The Unlock Potential! campaign is a call to action, an $8 million investment in the future of our community and its most precious resource — children. Together, we can empower every child’s future in Sonoma County. Donate now.
With your help, we hope to break ground by 2027!
