One-of-a-kind experiences are waiting for your family at the Children's Museum of Richmond - where kids can climb, create, explore, & play their way to a lifetime of learning! The Children’s Museum is much more than a space for children to play — it’s a community resource of programs and activities, all built around learning through play and providing access for all children and their caregivers. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, our mission is facilitated by the support of our staff, board, and volunteers, along with the generosity of individuals, corporations, and foundations. OUR MISSION
We inspire growth in all children by engaging families in learning through play. OUR VISION
The Children’s Museum will foster a community that recognizes and appreciates that children grow and learn through play. Connect with us!

Rain or shine, our Richmond families showed up ready to BUILD! 🏗️😎

What a fun time at the Folk Festival - Family Area! Our hammering zone was a BIG hit 🔨, and families enjoyed sensory activities, hand painting, construction trivia, LEGO, and our iconic bag hats! There was no shortage of creativity, curiosity, and smiles!

A huge thank-you to our amazing partners for bringing even more opportunities to play and explore, our wonderful volunteers, and every family who came out to join us, rain and all! ❤️ We’re so glad we could bring a little CMoR magic to the Richmond Folk Festival | Oct. 9-11, 2026 and share the joy of learning through play with our community!

📍Tuesday at Chesterfield from 3:15 to 4:15
📍Thursday at Downtown from 3:15 - 4:15

We hope to see you at the next one!

A big, heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our Fall Auction, which closed on October 5!

Because of your generosity, more children and families can experience the joy of learning through play, providing scholarship field trips, family memberships, and admission passes for those who might not otherwise have the opportunity to visit the Museum.

Thank you for helping us make play possible at CMoR and creating more opportunities for children to play, learn, and explore! ✨
