Otter Cove Children’s Museum is a vibrant educational and cultural institution offering learning experiences through physical play, artistic exploration and imagination. We believe that play is the primary driver of learning, and we empower children to direct their own learning by letting their imaginations lead the way. As caring grown-ups, it is our role to ensure the conditions for play. Our immersive exhibits and innovative programs are created to maximize the power of play in developing skills and a sense of place and purpose.
