Miami Children’s Museum values the health and safety concerns for our community and as an effort to further halt the spread of the COVID-19 virus, Miami Children’s Museum has made a very difficult but necessary decision to close temporarily effective today Friday, March 13, 2020. While there are no reported cases of COVID -19 related to our Museum, and only 3 in Miami Dade County, we are taking this precautionary measure to ensure the safety of all our visitors, employees and community partners.
We’ve taken steps to protect the health and safety of our community in coordination with and following guidance from Miami Dade County Public Schools, local health officials, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Miami Children’s Museum has always been a leader in providing the best possible environment for children and families to play, learn, imagine and create. Since the first concerns for the spread of the virus, Miami Children’s Museum has taken additional measures regarding the cleanliness and sanitary standards.
Founded in 1983, Miami Children’s Museum is dedicated to enriching the lives of all children by fostering a love of learning and enabling children to reach their highest potential. Visitors of all ages are encouraged to play together, learn, imagine and create. The 56,500-square-foot facility includes 14 galleries, classrooms, and a 200-seat auditorium. The museum offers hundreds of bilingual, interactive exhibits; programs and classes, including special needs classes; Subway restaurant; KidSmart educational gift shop and learning materials related to arts, culture, community and communication.
