WELCOME TO THE WHATCOM CHILDREN'S MUSEUM

The Whatcom Children’s Museum seeks to cultivate a child’s natural sense of wonder, stimulating the imagination through exciting interactive experiences.

Each exhibition at the Whatcom Children’s Museum tells a unique story. It is a continuing adventure enhanced by the actions and imaginations of every young visitor.

Toddlers through second grade children (and their parents) are encouraged to learn as they play, with hands-on activities, costumes, puppets, games, crafts and more.

Treasure Chest preschool programs are held each Friday morning at
10:30 a.m. and Wonder Workshops are held Saturday afternoon from 1 to 3 p.m., featuring additional programming included with regular admission.

"The Whatcom Children’s Museum is an educational experience for children and adults alike. When I go there I know my son will come away having learned something new. I, too, have learned much. From crafts to stories to "wonder boxes" to a parents resource table, the museum helps me foster a sense of wonder in my child and ultimately be a better parent. When asked what my 2 year old liked most about the museum he said it best, ‘It's so cool.’ "
—Priscilla Brotherton, parent
