Madison Children's Museum Information

Madison Children's Museum (MCM) is an award-winning destination for family fun, but it is also so much more than that. The museum is truly a reflection of what Madison is all about...people, community, culture, and learning. Most importantly, MCM was created through collaboration with members of the community, giving it a unique identity in the world of children's museums. With exhibits and activities for kids of all ages, including grownups, MCM and its staff strive to achieve and maintain the museum's mission: Madison Children’s Museum connects children with their families, their communities, and the world beyond through discovery learning and creative play. MCM offers hours of fun for children of all ages and backgrounds. The museum houses exhibits for kids as young as newborn to as old as...well, grandparents. Kids and their adults can enjoy special activities and events they won't find anywhere else. And to make sure everybody gets to experience what MCM has to offer, we provide special opportunities such as Free Family Nights, the first open Wednesday of the month where admission is free from 5 to 8 p.m., or Access Admission which allows families on public assistance to come to the museum for only $1. These special opportunities are possible through the generous donors of the Madison community.
