Who We Are & What We Do

At the corner of S 42nd St and 17th Ave S, we’re working to bring the Grand Forks Children's Museum to life—a future hub of creativity, exploration, and community connection. While we’re still in the process of raising funds to break ground, the museum will offer a space for hands-on learning and discovery for visitors of all ages.

 

Our museum will focus on S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics), highlighting the industries and resources unique to our region. Through interactive exhibits and educational programs, we’ll spark imagination, foster innovation, and celebrate the power of playful learning.

 

What We’re Building: 
28,000 sq. ft. of Imagination: Once completed, the museum will feature permanent and rotating exhibits, multi-level play structures, and areas for family programs and events. Designed for year-round engagement, the museum will offer fresh experiences with every visit.

 

Inclusive Destination Playground: 
We’re planning to create a welcoming, inclusive outdoor play space where children of all abilities can come together to explore, learn, and play.

​

A Focus on Education and Engagement: 
The museum will provide educational opportunities that captivate minds young and old, making learning fun and engaging.

 

Help Us Build the Dream 
The Grand Forks Children’s Museum will be more than a building—it will be a gathering place where families create lasting memories, learn together, and celebrate our region’s rich cultural and scientific heritage. But we can’t do it alone.

 

We are actively fundraising to bring this vision to life, and every contribution helps us get one step closer to breaking ground. By promoting discovery, creativity, and equal access to educational opportunities, we’ll enrich the quality of life in our region, boost local tourism, and provide a space that future generations can enjoy.

 

Join us on this exciting journey and help us build a space where every visitor is encouraged to dream, play, and discover.
