Since its founding in 1987, the Hands On Children's Museum has evolved from a fledgling “museum without walls” to the premier provider of hands-on science and art education in Southwest Washington. The museum stimulates curiosity, creativity and learning through fun, interactive exhibits and programs for children, families and school groups.
