About Children's Museum of Cleveland

The Children's Museum of Cleveland (CMC) is an interactive space, designed to promote the education and development of young children ages 0–8. The Museum features eight hands-on exhibits that explore foundational learning skills through interactive play. The space was created to encourage child-directed play and exploration, with features designed to allow adults and caregivers to play and learn along with their child.

In addition to its exhibits, CMC offers an array of programs, events, and resources to extend the learning and community reach. CMC hosts field trips and classroom outreach programs to integrate museum learning into the early education experience. The Museum is known for its abundant accessible admissions programs, which reduce barriers to admission for low-income and special needs guests across Northeast Ohio. CMC hosts a range of annual events, including its ongoing CMC Center Stage performing arts program, free community access events, and special after-hours events for adults to enjoy playing like a kid.

CMC was established in 1981 and is located in the Midtown neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. The Museum occupies the historic Stager-Beckwith mansion, one of Cleveland's few remaining Millionaire's Row properties.
