Grand Forks Children's Museum

State-of-the-Art Children’s Museum to Inspire Young Minds with Play-Based Learning

The new children’s museum, set to be completed in Spring 2027, is dedicated to fostering learning through play and interactive experiences for children of all ages and their families. The facility will feature 15,000 SF of permanent exhibition space, 1,500 SF for temporary exhibits, multipurpose rooms, an active climbing feature, and an outdoor plaza that connects to an adjacent public park. Emphasizing accessibility, inclusion, and environmental sensitivity, the design considers the site's microclimate, including wind and solar exposure. This world-class destination aims to inspire and empower young minds, transforming lives through the power of play and a love of learning, and connecting the community.
