The Children's Museum of the Shoals, Inc. is a unique community resource that
offers hands-on
exhibits
and programs geared specifically to the developmental stages and needs of
children. Our mission is to further classroom education and compliment existing
cultural and educational resources.
The museum allows children the freedom both to play and to
experience the joy of learning in a safe, enriched, and stimulating environment.
It also offers academic enrichment for the state and national curriculum
standards in the fields of science, environmental education, the arts, history,
and culture.
Exhibits and activities encourage children to
imagine, make choices, and create and to experience the world in ways that
expand their awareness and promote science and cultural literacy.
