Children's Museum of La Crosse

Silly smart! Explore three floors of hands-on exhibits for ages 1-10 with adult companions. Our small FUN shop includes affordable playthings and a stuff-your-own plush machine.

Exhibits

Some of our exhibits include:

Dino Revolution Maze: Test and expand your Mesozoic knowledge as you navigate your way through 150 million years.

Kid-Sized bank and store: Staff the drive-up window or teller desk, be a customer, and learn about money.

Me & My Shadow: Strike a pose and freeze your shadow on the wall!

Mighty Mississippi & Bridges: Float a boat, go fishing, direct water, build bridges, operate a crane, and more.

Tator Tots: This farm-themed area is for our youngest visitors, ages 0-3.

Whoosh: Insert the colorful scarves and watch them whoosh through the twisty tubes. You can use the knobs to change the path of the “whooshing” scarves.
