About Utica Children's Museum

Utica Children's Museum features The Climber, a two-story physical challenge structure that builds confidence through safe risk-taking, along with more than 60 exhibits celebrating the diverse cultures of the Mohawk Valley. Visitors enter through a glass Rotunda and explore exhibits throughout the second floor, where science, art, history and culture are woven together. The museum offers hands-on activities including STEM, art and sensory programs led by Play Ambassadors. Families can attend Tot Time sessions, participate in programs like Spooky STEM Explorers, or book field trips and birthday parties in the Multi-Purpose Room, which includes all-day museum admission for guests. The museum operates a Mobile Museum that brings exhibits to schools and community events. Located at the corner of Holland Avenue and Memorial Parkway in the Parkway District of Utica, New York, the museum is designed to foster exploration, cultural awareness and community connection for children and families from the region and beyond.
