The Westchester Children's Museum is a vibrant, interactive learning space dedicated to nurturing curiosity, enhancing knowledge, and igniting imagination through hands-on exploration for children, families, and school groups. Its mission is to broaden understanding of arts, sciences, the environment, multiculturalism, and local and global communities in an educational and recreational atmosphere. The museum offers a wide range of STEAM-based programs for children from pre-K through middle school, aiming to provide these enriching experiences to the broadest audience possible, especially those with limited access. It strives to be an inclusive and safe gathering space that encourages critical thinking, collaboration, and lifelong engagement with the world. Located in historic landmark buildings on the boardwalk in Rye, NY, the museum features interactive exhibits and programs designed for ages 0-12, with dedicated areas for younger children. Beyond its on-site offerings, the museum also conducts an educational outreach program called "Museum Without Walls" to bring interactive science, art, and cultural programming to children across Westchester County.
