PARAMUS — The New Jersey Children's Museum said Friday it would shut down next month after operating for more than two decades.

"We've loved watching you play and learn and laugh with your children!" a post on the museum's Facebook page said. "Come visit one last time before we close!"

The museum is set to close Sept. 1 and opened in 1992. The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood purchased the Paramus location earlier this year and has plans to convert it into a medical facility, according to The Record, which first reported the closing.

Museum founder Anne Sumers told the newspaper she couldn’t find a new location for the exhibits, which cater to toddlers and preschoolers.

“Please be advised if you have a party planned with us, a field trip scheduled, or have purchased Princess Ball tickets, we are working on your refunds as we speak, and will be in touch with all of you shortly,” the museum’s Facebook message said.
