expERIEnce Children’s Museum

 

The ExpERIEnce Children’s Museum’s outdoor classroom journey began in 2015 with the opening of
Discovery Corner. After 7 wonderful years of nature play, Discovery Corner was closed to make room for a 19,000-square-foot expansion.

Recognizing the vital role that outdoor spaces play in children’s well-being and development, the museum purchased green space directly adjacent to our building to begin construction on a brand-new outdoor classroom. In April of 2024, we proudly opened Nature’s Classroom, which has already proven to be a phenomenal addition to our learning environment, offering children exciting new opportunities for hands-on exploration and meaningful connection with the natural world.

New this year is a sail-shaded reading nook featuring comfortable Adirondack chairs, providing an inviting space for children and families to relax with a nature inspired book on hot summer days. Additionally, our concrete surface will soon become home to the beautiful work of a local artist, adding a vibrant, creative touch that reflects the spirit of our community and inspires imagination in our outdoor space.
