Know Before You Go
What Age Group is CMOM Designed For?
CMOM is designed especially for children ages 0–6, a time of important brain development and growth. Our hands-on exhibits and programs support early learning through play, creativity, and exploration. While older children may enjoy select exhibits and programs, most of our spaces are specifically created for toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary-age kids. We encourage grown-ups to play too!
Food & Drink
To keep our exhibits clean, safe for play, and free of allergens, food and beverages are not allowed inside the building. While CMOM does not offer a cafeteria, you are welcome to leave and return throughout the day to enjoy nearby dining options and discount offers.
Strollers
For your convenience, complimentary stroller and coat check is available at CMOM. To ensure a safe and comfortable experience for all visitors, strollers are not permitted in exhibit areas.
