The Woodlands Children's Museum
The Woodlands Children’s Museum is committed to encouraging hands-on learning, imagination, and discovery in our interactive exhibits designed for those seven and under. Here, children can be anyone or anything they want through role-play in our diverse exhibits and rotating collection of costumes. Science, art, and culture drive many of these educational exhibits where learning through play is exciting! The museum has a working “art bar” called the Muse, where children exercise their creativity with a new project every day. Our exhibits foster early childhood development, fine/gross motor skills, and abstract thinking which are all designed to empower your child
