More information on Children's Museum of Memphis

Located adjacent to the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, the children's museum recently underwent a major expansion. The new galleries include "Going Places," "Growing Healthy," "Art Smart," and "WaterWORKS!," in addition to a parent resource center and improved gift shop. In addition, old standbys at the museum are a real fire engine for them to climb on and a kid-size city where your children can act like little grown-ups: They can go shopping for groceries, stop by the bank to cash a check, or climb up through a 22-foot-tall skyscraper. Special traveling exhibitions, such as a recent one featuring a kid-sized, fairytale castle, are also well worth a visit. Call to find out what special programs are being offered during your stay. Allow 2 to 3 hours. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
