Pillars

We offer kids and families big fun on a sturdy foundation! Every exhibit has been designed to align with one or more of our foundational pillars.

Akron Children's Museum's foundational pillarsSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)

These exhibits encourage young learners to be problem solvers who build, test, observe, and modify ideas and structures. Through play, kids become agents who think about the world around them and how things work.

 

Arts & Culture

Artists, readers, and thinkers of all levels will use various materials and modes of expression to create original performances and works of art.

 

Health & Wellness

Young bodies need proper care and exercise in order to grow stronger and more capable. These exhibits encourage kids to challenge themselves to stretch their skills and abilities, and provide opportunities to explore a variety of aspects that influence well being.

 

Citizenship & Community Readiness

These exhibits emphasize our roots in Akron and Summit County, helping families connect to the region. Exhibits also enable kids to imagine themselves in roles that serve their neighborhoods and friends.
