Our Mission

Merced city and county are vibrant communities rich in culture and tradition. The area is appealing as an attractive place to live, to work and to raise a family and it offers many unique opportunities for further growth and development. The goal of bringing a Children's Museum to Merced is to further enhance the quality of life for the youngest residents of the county and their families.

Our mission is to provide environment for Merced children and families to engage in joyful play and discovery. We aim to create a place where families are brought together to play and to learn, where their curiosity and imaginations are ignited and where kids and adults alike can explore our world in all its diversity.

We only want the best for Merced County's children, so ensuring a safe environment where children of all abilities are free to let their imagination and creativity guide them is a priority.
