Site Planning Process Continues


The Museum is outgrowing its storefront location and has been looking for a new home for over two years. During the month of June we made sure that our plans and site search criteria were still valid by conducting a survey. Over 350 people responded - thank you!

Information gathered in the survey is being used to inform the site selection process and to review potential properties. Check back for future developments or sign up to receive email updates.

Site Selection Committee


The Museum has formed a site search committee, to assist in the planning process.

It's Time we Built our Own!


Great cities around the world have great children's museums that contribute to their creative citizenship, civic growth and pride. It's time we built our own!

The Children's Museum of Tacoma is poised to launch a capital campaign for a purpose-built facility. With help from the community, the Museum can positively impact the social, emotional and cognitive abilities of our Pierce County children, families and communities for generations to come.
