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.
