Northeast Texas Children's Museum

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: 

• Healthy Kids from A to Z, a preschool program that encourages a healthy lifestyle by introducing a letter of the alphabet each week through activities and crafts
• STEM for Third Grade which focuses on hands-on science and math lessons teachers can reference throughout the year
• Weird Science, a fifth-grade science program that gives students experience with science equipment, building on concepts from the classroom
• The MEGALungs program, an outreach program to fourth-graders throughout the area in which students walk through our nine-foot inflatable lungs, learning about the lungs' structure and diseases like lung cancer, asthma, and bronchitis

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.
