Delaware Children's Museum - Are We There Yet?

The Delaware Children's Museum offers children of all ages an educational experience that will introduce them to important aspects of everyday life in a fun and engaging way throuh playful learning.

Seven exciting exhibits include:

Stratosphere: A 30-foot diameter structure where children can learn new skills as they climb to the circular platform on top, overlooking the lobby entrance.
Structures: An interactive exhibit that helps kids learn about the various components and jobs within the building industry, from architecture to construction.
The Power of Me: Helps children understand how the body works and how they can help theirs stay healthy.
ECOnnect: A comprehensive exhibit that introduces kids to ecology-friendly technologies.
Bank On It: Introduces children to financial management, saving and spending, the stock market, and other aspects of finances to help them get a good start.
Training Wheels: Provides opportunities for younger visitors to interact in a transportation-themed environment.
Studio D: Offers a variety of artistic media for children to express themselves, including weaving, printmaking, sculpting, and painting.

The Museum offers great opportunities for School and other Groups, as well as families. Ninety-minute Self Guided Visits for groups of 15 or more are a wonderful way for kids to explore the exhibits at their own pace.

Focused Field Trips offer a planned learning experience using the Museum's resources to enhance an in-class curriculum, and they include an orientation and overview of the Museum, a 30- to 45-minute exploration of a specific exhibition, and an hour to explore the rest of the Museum. A Focused Field Trip can be customized to suit the needs of any class.

Needless to say, the Delaware Children's Museum would be a great place for a Birthday Party, and so it is. Parties include a private room for an hour, all day access to the Museum for the birthday child and guests, and a Museum birthday party host.
