About this place

Children's Museum of Illinois is an interactive, non-profit children's museum located in Decatur, IL, housed in a castle-like building near Scovill Park and the Scovill Children's Zoo and Playground. Families can explore more than sixty hands-on exhibits and activities designed around real-world scenarios that encourage healthy habits and critical thinking. The museum also partners with area schools and community organizations to offer educational programming in literacy, humanities, arts, and sciences.

If you are a member here

A membership to Children’s Museum of Illinois carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in these programs.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
