Opening Day for the Missouri Children's Museum

The Missouri Children's Museum will open tomorrow, Friday, December 11, 2009. Located at exit 133 off I-70, the MOCM is in an old farmhouse on two acres. For opening day, all indoor exhibits will be open; the outdoor exhibits will open in the spring 2010.

Among the indoor exhibits - a face painting station, the medical center, a messy art room, lots of pretend play, a toddler room, legos, trains and more!

Admission is $7.50 per child (age 1 to 12), adults are $5.00 and infants under 1 are free. Admission includes all activities and supplies, so there are no hidden costs after you've entered the museum. Special opening weekend admission: adults are free with a paid child admission!
