A Message to our Community…

On March 4th, we shared the exciting news that we will be creating an all new state-of-the-art family center and children’s museum and that our “Last Day of Play” at our current location would be on March 29th.

Today, March 17th, we unfortunately have some sad news to deliver.

Due to directives being implemented concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, the Utica Children’s Museum will need to make the permanent closure of our current space earlier than we anticipated.

Effective immediately, we must close our home at 311 Main Street.

Our leadership and staff are deeply saddened by this necessary closure, as we had events planned all month long to allow our members and the community at large to visit the museum one last time. We share in your disappointment and appreciate your understanding as we make this tough decision.

During these trying times, we hope that families enjoy their time with each other and find fun, alternative ways to play and learn together.

Please stay healthy. Enjoy time together. Look forward to the future.

– The Utica Children’s Museum Board and Leadership
