About Wild Child: Museum & Menagerie

At Wild Child: Museum & Menagerie, we watch, teach, and WOW your wild animals of the tiny human variety. (You’ll probably learn a thing or two as well!)

Most of us know what a museum is, but how about a menagerie? Well, it’s a collection of wild animals, often kept for exhibition – like a zoo. Our museum is made up of interactive exhibits about our world’s wonderful diversity of mammals, our closest relatives in the animal kingdom... and then you bring the zoo: we welcome wild little animals ages 0-12 to come meet, eat, learn, & play!

Wild Child is a place to unwind from our complicated lives and embrace our inner nature as social creatures. The museum is full of opportunities for interactive learning and development play. Get comfortable and watch your little one find their favorite mammalian companion among the monkeys, megafauna, or backyard buddies featured here. In addition to museum visits for the whole family, we offer drop-in childcare services and day camps. They’ll make new friends and master new skills while you relax or cross things off your list!

Parenting is hard. You might be a stay-at-home mom searching for community through a playgroup and mom meet ups. Perhaps you’re trying to somehow work-from-home while also watching your little one without any childcare help. Or whatever your work life may look like, you just want to find more budget-friendly family activities to fill your weekend calendars.

We’ve all heard the phrase “It takes a village to raise a child.” Wild Child wants to put the “pack” back in parenting, and give our children the freedom to be wild!
