Santa Fe Children's Museum

North Central region of New Mexico The Santa Fe Children's Museum is a place for families to learn and play together. The interactive exhibits, beauty of the outdoor garden, diversity of programs, and professional staff make for a special museum visit.

In order to succeed in an ever-changing world, children need to develop habits of inquiry that will last a lifetime. We believe they learn best when they have fun, are self-motivated, and search for answers to questions they formulate for themselves.

Children, like adults, have different ways of acquiring knowledge. The Children's Museum provides a dynamic educational setting where all types of informal learning occur. Cognitive, physical, and social-emotional development can be observed within the museum's environment. Our primary goal is for children to understand themselves as learners and to have successful learning experiences. During your visit you can observe individual children and gain further clues to help meet their needs in the classroom.

The museum environment plays a very important role in the learning experience. Our staff has thought deeply about the quality and the instructive power of space. We have created a welcoming place that fosters exploration, communication, and social interaction. The arrangement of exhibits encourages choices, problem solving, and discovery. Please take time to reflect on how our environment affects your students' learning.
