Children’s museums are known for their large number of interactive exhibits and educational programming. Kids of ALL ages can engage in hands-on experiences making learning quite a bit of fun. Over 25 years ago, some very creative citizens in Lexington presented the idea of such a resource to the mayor. A whole lot of planning & development took place and in 1990 the state’s first and only children’s museum opened its doors. Renamed Explorium of Lexington in 2005, over 85,000 visitors tour the museum annually, and community programs inspire another 10,000 children from schools throughout central Kentucky. Since 1990, over one million visitors have enjoyed nine discovery zones filled with interactive exhibits designed to inspire imagination and curiosity. Watch This Clip Only
