About

The Children's Museum of Northern Colorado Project was launched in 2015.  ​The project began as a belief among a group of community members that Northern Colorado was ready to sustain it's own children's museum.  The original idea was very small in scale, but with community input and continued learning, the vision for the museum grew.  

​

In 2017, the Board of Directors contracted Lord Cultural Services to conduct a market study and assemble a business plan based on current and future market conditions in Northern Colorado.  The results of that study have shaped the scope of the project going forward.
