The mission of the Staten Island Children's Museum is to nurture the creativity and curiosity natural to all children, to recognize and celebrate different learning styles, and to demonstrate vividly that learning can be exciting and fun. The museum is committed to achieving these goals through programming that emphasizes direct and authentic hands-on experiences conducted in an environment that is welcoming as well as aesthetically pleasing.
The museum encourages participation by visitors of all abilities and endeavors to reach beyond its walls to serve as an educational resource for the members of our diverse community, especially families and schools. With nine permanent exhibits, walk-in Up4Art weekend workshops, Kidz Cook workshops, as well as Tot's Time Plus and more, the Staten Island Children's Museum has been exercising children's minds, bodies and imaginations since 1974.
