About The Bucks County Children's Museum

The museum sits in the middle of historic New Hope and offers play-based exhibits for young children, who must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Visitors are encouraged to book timed-entry tickets online because walk-up admission is limited and not guaranteed. Once inside, guests can stay as long as they like during their open hours. The building is on one level and most exhibits are reachable by wheelchair. Sensory backpacks with earmuffs, sunglasses, and a fidget toy can be borrowed at the ticket booth. Metered parking surrounds the building, and the museum suggests paying through the Parkmobile app.
