At the Mississippi Children's Museum, we take fun seriously! With a focus on early childhood learning through play and discovery, MCM offers exciting educational experiences for children and families. Our museum is 50,000 square feet of fun with 30,000 square feet of exhibit space designed around the five themes of health and nutrition, literacy, science and technology, and Mississippi heritage. These experiences serve to prepare children for school, build 21st century skills and encourage a lifelong love of learning.
