Chesapeake Children's Museum

The mission of Chesapeake Children's Museum is to create an environment of discovery about oneself, the peoples, the technologies, and the ecology of the Chesapeake Bay area for all our children and for the children in us all. Hands on exhibits invite exploration and imagination.
