2026 ADMISSION INCREASE

Since 1998, the Bronzeville Children’s Museum has provided families with a unique, hands-on learning experience that celebrates culture, history, and education. We are deeply grateful for the support of our community, which has allowed us to continue this important mission.

Like many institutions, we are experiencing the impact of today’s economic environment. Over the years, the cost of maintaining our exhibits, staffing, and resources has increased significantly. However, we have never increased pricing. In order to sustain the quality of our programs and keep the museum thriving for future generations, we will be updating our admission prices.

Beginning January 1, 2026, general admission will be $10 per person. Members will continue to enjoy free admission to events and tours.

This increase ensures that we can preserve the high-quality, hands-on experiences you’ve come to expect while continuing to grow and improve.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support. Together, we will keep inspiring the next generation of learners.
