Children’s Museum of Northern Nevada

The Children’s Museum of Northern Nevada, Inc., is dedicated to providing education and entertainment – “edutainment” – to children and families in the greater Carson City community.

Our museum provides exhibits and programs that focus on the Arts, Sciences, and Humanities. Our exhibits and programs are based on Nevada educational standards, current and historical culture, or kinetic movement; and entertain youth ages two to teen and their families.
