The Campaign for Children’s Museum Tucson
An Opportunity
Children’s Museum Tucson has been a cornerstone of childhood in Tucson for nearly 40 years. Serving more than 200,000 visitors annually, Children’s Museum Tucson offers exhibits, educational programming and community engagement to fulfill our mission of providing fun, play-based, interactive, hands-on learning experiences for children and their families.
As our museum audience and the regional population has grown, our space has not, and we have exceeded our capacity.
We need additional physical space to continue to provide meaningful learning experiences for children in Southern Arizona.
We had the unique opportunity in recent years to purchase and name the Evelyn Carswell-Bing Building, adjacent to the museum in downtown Tucson. Its proximity to the current facility allows for a cost-effective expansion in ways that otherwise would not be possible. The recently completed remodel of the building into the new Angel Charity for Children Education Center and new administrative offices has already positively impacted our ability to reach more children across Southern Arizona.
The next phase of our expansion plans includes renovation of the existing Museum to expand and update our exhibit experiences, adding more opportunities for play inside and out. Additionally, with our new planned entrance, we will be able to provide space for a café and eating area for families as well as a gift shop so play and learning can extend beyond the museum experience. The final component planned is a large outdoor Science Park on the North Lawn, connecting the education center to the museum and providing free play for all.
