The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History's Children’s Gallery originally opened in 2009 and was designed with the Museum’s youngest guests (ages 0–8) and their caregivers in mind. Knowing that at this age children learn best through play, we aim to provide hands-on, enriching activities and learning opportunities.
This gallery has been cherished by multiple generations of children and is one of the most beloved spaces in the Museum. The new play space has been reimagined for today's young explorers and tomorrow's future leaders.
The revamped space boosts child-sized exhibits of long-time Fort Worth institutions and landmarks. The learning environments include a nod to TCU’s campus, a performance space meant to capture the spirit of Ridglea Theater, a homestead farmland where crops grow and are sold in the market, a transportation hub based on the Fort Worth Central Station, complete with a train schedule and a medical area that was developed with help from Cook Children’s Hospital.
This is where the future begins.
