Give your children the gift of imaginative play with a day at the Providence Children's Museum.

The museum's mission is to inspire and celebrate learning through active play and exploration. Children and adults of all backgrounds and from all communities are welcome. The museum's focus is on serving southern New England children, ages 1 to 11, and the adults who care for them by:

• Presenting hands-on, play-filled exhibits and programs that explore the arts, culture, history and science.


• Fostering children’s cognitive, social, emotional and physical development by embracing a wide range of abilities, learning styles and forms of creative expression.


• Creating environments in which visitors share with and learn from one another, as we learn from them.


• Being accessible and responsive to all families - culturally, physically and economically.


• Working in partnership with other organizations to meet the needs of children and families.


• Increasing awareness and knowledge of the ways in which children and families learn.
