Madison Children's Museum is a community hub for children and families where play is serious business. Our exhibits are created just for our space by our on-staff team of artist and artisans, and in consultation with our child development experts!
Madison Children's Museum is the area's premier destination for hands-on fun and learning for the whole family!
We have six exhibit areas: the Rowland Rooftop Ramble, a four-season green roof with animals and gardens; the Wildernest, a global village made with natural, local materials and designed for ages 5 and under; the Bakke Art Studio, where visitors can do a daily drop-in project and paint on windows; the authentic Brand Log Cabin to teach visitors about Madison's pioneer days; our newest exhibit From Coops to Cathedrals Nature, Childhood, and the Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright where kids can tinker, play, draw inspiration from nature, and explore just like the famous local architect did; and the DeAtley Community Concourse, a free-admission area with several exhibits and a pizza cafe.
The museum also offers special programs and events daily; view our website calendar to plan your visit.
Madison Children’s Museum connects children with their families, their communities, and the world beyond through discovery learning and creative play.
