The Northeast Texas Children’s Museum is a place where children and families come to experience wonder, connection, and learning through play. Serving families across Northeast Texas since 2002, the museum welcomes children from all backgrounds to explore hands-on exhibits that build curiosity, confidence, creativity, and joyful family memories. Our vision is to be a place where families feel safe, welcomed, and inspired—and where children grow through experiences that strengthen brains, bonds, and belief.
In 2025, the museum welcomed 47,318 guests, hosted 144 field trip groups, and celebrated 260 birthday parties, serving families, schools, daycares, churches, and community groups from hundreds of communities across the region. Teachers and caregivers value the museum as a trusted place where children can explore, imagine, problem-solve, and learn in ways that feel meaningful and fun.
The museum also offers special events and seasonal programs that create lasting memories for local families, while continuing to invest in exhibit improvements, guest experience, and access for the communities we serve. With your support, the Northeast Texas Children’s Museum can continue to grow as a vibrant, inclusive destination where every child has the chance to play, discover, and thrive.
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.
