Contribute - Northwoods Children's Museum

We’re thrilled to share that the Northwoods Children’s Museum is hosting its first in-person fundraiser in five years—and we need your help to make it a success!

Our Play it Forward event will take place on June 9, 2025 at Riverstone Brewing Company, and we’re seeking donations of items to be used in our raffle baskets, cash games, and silent auction. Your contribution will help us raise critical funds for facility upgrades and ongoing operations, ensuring we can continue to provide enriching, hands-on learning experiences to children and families across the Northwoods.

Please see the letter button above for more details about how you can contribute. We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our local business community and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

The Northwoods Children’s Museum is a non-profit organization that supports families through play. Donations from caring individuals and businesses make it possible to provide a quality children’s museum for families year-round. The museum’s very existence is a daily tribute to people who care enough about children to share their time and money.

Play is so important to child development that it is recognized by the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights as a right of every child. Virtually every nation in the world has endorsed these findings.
However, many children in the world don’t have a chance to play…and many children in the world will NEVER have a chance to play. Children today spend roughly 6.5 hours a day with electronic media, which means that sitting in front of a screen has replaced active play and playing with others. We also know that there is a direct line between limited play and some disturbing public health and social trends:

•   Tragic statistics for childhood obesity…
•   Classroom behavior problems involving violence…
•   Inability to interact well with peers…
•   Increase in childhood depression...

Just an hour a day of vigorous play addresses virtually all of these health and social trends. And, we know that active kids perform better academically in the long term.

As a community resource it is important for the Northwoods Children’s Museum to help ALL of our kids learn and grow.

We charge $9 per person for daily admission, while it actually costs us $12 per person. Please consider 'rounding up' at the checkout to help offset the cost. Thank you!
