The Children's Museum opened in the early 1900s. Today, it stands on the waterfront &mdash on Children's Wharf &mdash and houses interactive, hands-on exhibits, including: the Japanese House, Boats Afloat, and Art Studio.
The museum is open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and to 9 p.m. on Fridays.
