The largest children's museum in Virginia with fun, interactive, hands-on things to keep kids bodies (and minds) entertained for hours.

"It's the only museum where you can come and touch things. [At other museums] you have to walk around, keep your hands in your pockets. Here we say go up, touch it, play with it, push it, figure out what makes it work."

Looking for a unique toy or gift? Our Museum Gift Shop has all kinds of educational gift to spur the imagination.

Located in downtown Portsmouth, with easy access to parking plus several other museums, shops and delightful "kid friendly" restaurants.
