We built a new, modern museum in Eau Claire for children to see, touch, learn, and grow. Whether you want to volunteer or you are seeking a paid position, check out our current openings.
Have a question about memberships, giving, summer camps, or renting a space? We're here to help. Come and experience the many wonders of the Children's Museum of Eau Claire and experience a magical place for children. However, we do NOT permit peanut butter or other nut products out of consideration for our guests with severe allergies. While we certainly understand the need for snacks, we kindly ask that you do NOT bring food onto the exhibit floor. This helps keep the Children's Museum in great shape for future visitors.
Although our staff does an amazing job of maintaining a safe, fun environment, we are not a childcare facility and are not staffed adequately to supervise your child while they play in the Museum. We know it helps mom and dad out! However, CMEC serves as a unique community location where kids and their grown-ups can play, grow and learn together. Parent-child connectedness is one of the greatest contributors to a happy, healthy kiddo. For the safety of our guests, we ask that all visitors keep their shoes ON while playing in the Museum.
However, We do not currently sell beverages , so please plan ahead. If you'd prefer to pack a lunch , you're welcome to use our Family Lunch Space in the lobby. If you need to leave for lunch or a nap, just hang onto your receipt and come back later in the afternoon! Although we don't have our own eatery, downtown Eau Claire is home to some great restaurants within a few minutes walk.
