Children’s Museum Houston and our partners provide opportunities for high-quality learning experiences in places where children spend their out of school time. These programs help children be successful in school and in life, by developing critical skills before they need them in school and also by giving them realistic opportunities to apply what they are learning in school.
Children’s Museum Houston creates experiences that spark curiosity. Our programs help children and families build a strong foundation for learning together, all while reinforcing what children discover in school.
Open Doors passes are distributed in partnership with non-profit community agencies that serve low-income families.
