Amelia Park Children's Museum's exhibits are designed for hands-on learning in a fun and welcoming environment.
Our newly designed library is a fantastic place to pick up a book and read! With over 100 brand new books, you're sure to find one you love.

Dress like an astronaut and pilot our giant space ship. Climb the ladder to the rocket launchers where you can shoot balls into outer space and aim for the giant sun, which drops the balls back down for you to race and collect to start launching again!

Our toddler area is perfectly fit for little ones. It allows them to explore with age appropriate, safe, and fun toys! The soft building blocks let toddlers be creative and build beyond their imaginations. The exhibit includes a huge train set for children to unleash their inner engineers.

Put on your hard hats and head over to the Construction Zone. Use your imagination to build and grow! Get hands on learning experience about tools. This exhibit encourages building and engineering with both fine and gross motor skills.
Become a doctor or a dentist and take care of your patients whether they have a broken leg, a broken tooth, or just need a check up. Use our X-ray light to check out real pictures of broken bones!
Science, technology, engineering, and math mix together in a series of fun and engaging interactive elements. Build on the magnetic ball wall, experiment with gravity, write words using the infinity mirrors, explore specimens up close with the microscope.

Amelia’s Café mirrors a realistic kitchen where children can use their imaginations to learn while cooking and serving food to their guests. It's the perfect place to go after some "shopping" in our grocery store.
Our grocery store is the prefect roll-play shopping experience for children. With play foods organized by type on shelves, and by color in bins, they can learn as they play.
Coming in 2023- Big updates to our little bank exhibit!
Did you know that guinea pigs have three toes on their back feet and four on their front feet?
On average guinea pigs live between 4 and 8 years, but the oldest guinea pig ever lived to be 15!
In the wild guinea pigs live in large groups so its important to cuddle your little buddy.
Hamsters like Josephine usually live in burrows underground during the day and come out at sunset to eat.
Just like her wild counterparts, Josephine eats a diet primarily made up of seeds and fresh fruits and veggies.
This is our buddy Houdini, the omnivorous Box Turtle! While most wild turtles live about thirty years, in captivity they can live to be over a hundred years old!
Box turtles are NOT tortoises even though older box turtles (like Houdini) live almost entirely on land.
Young Box Turtles have soft shells until the age of 7 years. The smaller softer shells make them excellent swimmers and they spend most of their days in the water. After 7 they tend to spend more time basking in the sun than in the water.
Corn snakes eat mice and small rodents. They will eat only a couple times a month!
Like all snakes, corn snakes, shed their skin when they out grow of it or as it gets old and worn out.
Corn Snakes are named after the corn like pattern on their bellies and because they were found in corn silos chasing mice.
Our activity table offers multiple hands-on learning throughout the week. Each week day, the museum puts out a new activity at the activity table. We love to keep kids learning!
Watch yourself as you put on a show! Our performance area includes a stage with a camera that shows you back on a TV!
APCM provides an enriching environment where children and their families can learn about themselves, their communities, and the world around them. Integrated throughout the museum is a broad range of creative exhibits and imaginative hands-on activities, which foster a climate of learning and exploration. Central to the museum's philosophy is that children can learn through the arts, history, science, and the region's rich environmental and cultural diversity.
