Detroit Children’s Museum

The Detroit Children’s Museum, now part of the Detroit Science Center, is one of the city’s cultural treasures and the third oldest children’s museum in the U.S. With over 100,000 fascinating artifacts on display, the museum offers unique exhibits such as the People of the World, Travel Through History Gallery, and the Tiny Tikes Preschool Gallery. Visitors can enjoy regular planetarium demonstrations and explore historical artifacts like the Andrewsarchus skull and Civil War relics. The museum also provides educational group programs, aligned with Michigan Grade Level Content expectations, for preschool through grade 6, covering topics in history, science, math, and literature.
