A memorable museum in Midtown Memphis.

If you want to escape the heat and enjoy some indoor fun, The Children’s Museum of Memphis is full of interactive exhibits, hands-on activities, and unique and memorable features. The little ones can even gear up like a firefighter and climb inside a real fire truck! Go grocery shopping and check-out at the cash register, explore a real FedEx plane, and even learn how to land it in a flight simulator. There is even a full-sized carousel inside! There are so many activities to explore inside. Outside there is a splash pad, playground, zip line, and fun multi basket basketball court. 

The CMOM emphasizes educational play designed to stimulate all the senses. Play in the splash park, explore the bank, learn about the Mississippi River, or climb in the skyscraper tower. You can easily spend hours in this museum, and it is well worth the trip and the price of admission feels quite reasonable for all it entails. Admission for all ages 1-100 is $15 and babies under one are free. Discounts are available for people who have memberships to other registered Children's Museums. The targeted age range is 2-10, but all children are welcome.

Tips:

- There are changing tables in the restrooms and also a private nursing room is available - just ask a staff member for access. 
- Bring a lunch. There is only vending machines for snacks. They have tables set up inside to sit at for lunch or snack break. 
- Bring extra cloths for after playing at the water section. We generally save this activity for the end as my children tend to get wet. 
- The carousel runs every 15 minutes so plan accordingly to ride that. 

The Children's Museum of Memphis is a full day of fun. This is one place you will want to add to your family adventure list.
