The Northeast Texas Children's Museum offers creative and imaginative play for children throughout northeast Texas. The Children's Museum began in 2002 and is celebrating twenty years of serving families throughout the area. In 2023, we saw 47,000 visitors and added 3,100 square feet to accommodate growth.
The Museum currently has four educational programs:
The Children's Museum also provides field trips to pre-k through third grade classes in which teachers may choose to include short science based lessons with the scheduled play time. The Children's Museum had 125 field trips in 2023.
The Museum also hosts community events which include A Night at the Museum, Brunch with Santa, an Easter Egg Hunt, and the Daddy Daughter Dance. We also offer birthday party on Saturdays and Sundays, a popular attraction for local families.
The mission of the Northeast Texas Children's Museum is to inspire imagination, enhance creativity, and build confidence in children. We will accomplish the mission of the Northeast Texas Children's Museum by investing in hands-on, minds-on opportunities for children to engage in activities that will strengthen their intellect and prepare them for a future of competition and collaboration in the world.
The Children's Museum has added four new exhibits in the few last years. With over twenty years of wear and tear on some of our exhibits, funds are needed to repair older exhibits and to replace some with new exhibits. New exhibits will continue to expand the educational benefit and creative experiences of children coming to the museum.
