Zimmer Children's Museum

The Zimmer Children’s Museum cultivates brave and generous thinkers. Through immersive play and real-world activism, we guide children and youth to recognize injustice and possibility within their communities and beyond, and to take meaningful, collaborative and collective action to create a better future.  

The Zimmer has two main program initiatives: a children’s museum for 0-8 year olds and youTHink, a creative youth development program for middle and high school students.  

Our museum offers 10,000 square feet of discovery-based exhibits and more than 20 classes and public programs each week in art, music & movement, cross-cultural exchange, school readiness, early childhood education and five foreign languages.  

youTHink empowers youth to make a difference in their lives and communities though arts-based classroom lessons and a range of arts and youth leadership programs after school hours. 

These programs empower youth to find their choice, develop their critical thinking skills, engage in creative and meaningful extracurricular activities, and take positive action for social change.
