Children's Museum of Tacoma finds a NEW HOME

We found a new home for the Children's Museum of Tacoma!  Wow, this has been years in the making.  Just last week, I celebrated 11 years working at the Children's Museum of Tacoma. The majority of that time, we have been looking for a larger place to play.  What an exciting opportunity to move forward with museum dreams a decade in the making.

The new space will be the whole first floor of the United Way building on 1501 Pacific Avenue.  The building has lots of great features to incorporate into playful explorations, creative journeys, and lots of hands-on fun!   Itâ??s 50% larger than our current site.  It has lots of windows for natural light and space for outdoor activity.  Plus, it's close to other museums, parking, and the light rail. 

Thanks to all of you who have visited and worked with our museum over the last decade (and more the museum is almost 25 years old!). You have helped shape our vision of what our community needs for young children. 

Now the fun begins.  Help us get ready to throw open the doors in late 2011 by sharing your vision and needs for the new museum on our survey www.surveymonkey.com/s/TL2B3JT.  Or you can read more on our website www.childrensmuseumoftacoma.org/capital-campaign and you can share a comments here.
