Creatively designed with a focus on fun and learning, Kidzeum will be a 15,000-square-feet structure in Edwin Watts Southwind Park (located off the Toronto Road exit on I-55) in Springfield, Illinois.  Kidzeum will feature hands-on exhibits, as well as inquisitive and entertaining programs to meet the needs of ALL children, including those with physical, cognitive, and/or emotional disabilities.

Kidzeum is committed to nurturing health and wellness, promoting science education, and to developing environmental and global awareness through innovative programs and exhibits.  This is no small effort! There are hundreds of people involved in the planning, building, and fundraising efforts, with much of the help coming from volunteers who have generously donated their time to their worthy effort.
