Discover Des Plaines Through Play

Learn, grow, and explore with our local community, and more at the Des Plaines Children’s Museum.

Who We Are

The Des Plaines Children’s Museum aims to connect families through the power of play. Our Board is a diverse group of community members who are working to develop interactive exhibits and programming for children inspired by the people and place of Des Plaines. By engaging children of all ages, the museum is igniting a passion for their local community and empowering them to make a meaningful impact on the world at large. Initial planning is underway to secure funding and a building. Look for us at upcoming Des Plaines events!

Building Des Plaines Pop-Up Exhibit

Stop by Des Plaines History Center on April 28th from 12-4pm for a chance to meet our Board and play games designed to educate kids and grownups about the powerful history of Des Plaines.
