History
The Santa Fe Children's Museum was incorporated in 1985. It was founded by four local educators who perceived a need for learning opportunities in the community that would be distinctly different from those provided in school or home settings. Convinced that experiential learning is a necessary complement to traditional education, the founders sought to create a dynamic, hands-on, exploratory environment which included ample opportunity for social interactions. The Children's Museum opened in its current location in February of 1989. We honor the dedication, foresight, and commitment of the Santa Fe Children's Museum's founding members as we strive to continue following the mission they outlined.
