Huntington Children’s Museum

Huntington, WV

Huntington Children's Museum is a STEAM-focused indoor learning space where exhibits and activities cater to children’s specific interests and abilities. Children ages one to ten and their grown-ups explore carefully crafted, kid-tested environments where worries are not wasted on potentially breakable items or noise, messes are appreciated, and learning is a byproduct of play. Children explore, experiment, create, and discover through play while developing problem-solving skills and building resilience. The museum features a water table, interactive sand table, indoor climbing area, stop-motion video creation station, and kid-size city. Each quarter brings a new theme to the museum, from outer space to dinosaurs. HCM is conveniently located off the highway and minutes away from downtown Huntington and Marshall University. Admission cost is $10 for everyone 2 and over, and parking is free onsite.
