Edwardsville Children’s Museum is more than a place to explore—it’s an educational experience that builds on what children are learning in the classroom and at home.
We offer a variety of field trip and outreach programs that can be used by public schools, private schools, and homeschool communities in Edwardsville and the St. Louis region to support their curriculum. In addition, our educators are available to bring our engaging programs to your group on your schedule.
Whether we’re introducing students to a topic for the first time or immersing them in a subject they’re passionate about, ECM’s in-house educators inspire young thinkers through science, technology, history, and art.
Edwardsville Children’s Museum is a hands-on learning environment where children and adults interact and explore in a FUN and educational environment. Our field trips are ideal for children ages 18 months to 10 years and can be tailored for groups from 10 to 100.
