The museum is a non-profit organization located in the historic cultural district of downtown Erie whose entire mission is to provide a safe, family-centered educational experience that inspires creativity, exploration, and imagination through play, interactive exhibits, and innovative programming.

Named Erie’s Choice for Museum in 2021, and for the previous 6 years, and Erie’s Choice for the Best Place to have a Birthday Party in 2017, the museum welcomes over 60,000 guests annually. Three floors including over 25 hands-on exhibits provide hours of fun for children ages 8 and under, the museum is currently expanding it’s reach to double in size.

The Wegmans Market is an absolute favorite of every guest to the museum.
