About Kidzeum

Kidzeum is a children's museum of health and science in historic downtown Springfield. Its three floors hold interactive exhibits where young visitors can pretend, climb, build, sort, and experiment. Most families plan roughly one and a half to two and a half hours for a visit. The museum also runs summer STEAM camps, school field trips, and private birthday and event rentals. Visitors can park on nearby street meters, which are free to use, or in a dedicated lot on the west side of 4th and Washington.
