WOW! Children’s Museum is committed to making the Museum accessible to all children in our community, regardless of financial constraints. Our donor-supported Play for All Initiative is offered in partnership with the Association of Children’s Museum’s “Museums for All” program. Play for All supports over 6,000 visitors each year with:
