Inside the Museum
About Our Space
Interactive Exhibits and Play Areas
Step into the only children's museum on the Alaska Kenai Peninsula—a place dreamed up by two moms and brought to life by our amazing community. Every interactive exhibit is designed by Rhonda and Sara, who have toured more than 20 children's museums and are active members of the Association of Children's Museums and Museums Alaska. These experiences have shaped their creativity, teaching them to build exhibits that spark curiosity, creativity, and joy.
Self-Guided Play and Discovery
At our museum, there’s no right or wrong way to play.
Children create their own adventures while exploring thoughtfully designed exhibits meant to spark curiosity and creativity. Parents can join in or relax while kids safely discover new ideas on their own.
