Mission

The Waterloo Regional Children's Museum creates playful environments where art, technology and science meet to encourage spontaneous learning and to cultivate aptitudes for creative lives. 

Vision

The Waterloo Regional Children's Museum is housed in Canada's Technological Triangle. Its exhibit programme reflects the convergence of art and technology, showcasing local technology and research while exploring the building blocks of science. The exhibits are conceived as open-ended discoveries using art as the vehicle of exploration and will provide the opportunity to manipulate technology and simultaneously encourage creativity. Children will learn intuitively through play and experimentation.

The interactive exhibits will be attractive to children as genuinely fun games to play. However, their foundation will be based upon scientific principles that can be explored further through interaction. Invention, the creative force behind both art and technology, is an important aspect of the exhibit design.

The Waterloo Regional Children's Museum will foster the love of learning and an understanding of art and technology by encouraging hands-on exploration, creativity, expression and discovery. Children of all ages and abilities will be able to enjoy and learn from the exhibits, as the Museum will be fully accessible. The Museum is designed to provide hands-on learning opportunities for students in Waterloo Region and beyond.
