  • “Play is really the work of childhood.” – Fred Rogers

    Our generous donors who invest in play help to keep the museum operational and inviting, support fun camps and educational programs, and make our galleries even better. We couldn’t do this without your support!
  • Giving the gift of play

    Donors make the Mid-Michigan Children’s Museum possible. A passionate group of community members took the dream of a hands-on, interactive children’s museum and raised enough funds to turn that dream into a reality. We rely on generous contributions from community members like you to keep MMCM viable and vibrant.

    If you are inspired to support our mission to engage and motivate children to use their curiosity and creativity while learning about the world around them, please donate today.

  • Your donation will give children in our community uplifting, memorable experiences
