The Muncie Children’s Museum (Indiana’s second largest children’s museum) opened its doors in 1977. During the planning process for the museum, it was decided that all exhibits would require participation and interaction from the children. These exhibits would also be fun, raise questions, provoke interest and stimulate curiosity. This philosophy remains to this day, the backbone of the Muncie Children’s Museum. In 1996, museum moved to its present location connected to the Horizon Convention Center. This new location tripled its size from the previous location. Over the years, the Muncie Children’s Museum has successfully brought educational entertainment to the children of East Central Indiana.
