About Children's Museum of Richmond

The Children's Museum of Richmond is a non-profit museum built around play-based learning for young children and their caregivers. It began in 1977 in a downtown school building and moved to its current Broad Street home in 2000. It now runs a downtown location and a Chesterfield location, offering exhibits, programs, field trips, and sensory-friendly evenings. Visitors reserve day tickets in advance or buy them at the front desk, and the museum requires one adult for every five children.
