A place where curiosity takes root and imagination rises.
The Grand Forks Children’s Museum is becoming a hands-on STEAM learning destination where children and visitors of all ages can explore, create, discover, and grow.
Rooted in the landscapes, industries, and spirit of the Red River Valley, the museum will bring play-based learning to life through immersive exhibits, creative programming, flexible classrooms, outdoor learning areas, and community gathering spaces.
Designed for Every Visitor
The Grand Forks Children’s Museum is being designed as a welcoming place for children, caregivers, educators, school groups, community partners, and visitors of all ages and abilities.
Alongside immersive exhibits, the museum will include spaces to gather, pause, read, create, celebrate, and connect. Flexible classrooms, maker spaces, reading nooks, calm spaces, outdoor learning areas, and accessible design features will help support programs, partnerships, events, and everyday moments of discovery.
