Details
Akron Children's Museum features hands-on, interactive exhibits to engage families and encourage learning through play. The museum is a safe space where children can spend hours, creating art, filling mini shopping carts with healthy food at a pint-sized farmer's market, building lego derby cars to race, making parachutes to use in wind tunnels and much more.
Admission is $5 per person (infants 12 months and under are free). Yearly family memberships are also available.
