The Betty Brinn Children’s Museum is a private nonprofit organization dedicated to playful learning for all. The Museum's vibrant exhibit environments and facilitated in-person and virtual educational programs inspire children to actively explore the world around them. Accessibility to services that foster academic, social, emotional and physical growth for area children and students is a Museum priority. As Wisconsin's largest children's museum, the organization serves almost 200,000 visitors annually at its downtown Milwaukee location. The Museum's operation and outreach services are supported in part thanks to the generosity of its dedicated members, donors and volunteers who value and recognize the critical importance of educational opportunities for our children.
