Everyone Belongs Here.

At the heart of Children’s Museum of Franklin is a simple belief: every child deserves a place to learn, play, and feel like they belong. Inside our walls, curiosity comes alive. Children build confidence through hands-on discovery. Families connect. Neighbors become community.

But for many families right here in our region, access to these experiences isn’t always guaranteed.

That’s where you come in.

Your gift helps to support admission assistance, outreach programs, and community partnerships that ensure financial barriers never stand in the way of a child’s opportunity to explore, imagine, and grow.

When you give, you’re supporting access, equity, and belonging.

You’re opening the door for a first visit.
You’re creating space for laughter and learning.
You’re reminding families, “You belong here.”

As we look ahead to a new year filled with possibility, discovery, and growing community, we invite you to be part of that promise. Together, we can ensure that this space remains a place where everyone is welcome, and every child can thrive.

Children’s Museum of Franklin is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. All donations are tax-deductible.
