The Greensboro Children’s Museum has suspended in-person operations as of December 11, 2020. 

Due to the ongoing surge in COVID-19 cases and resulting restrictions, the Greensboro Children’s Museum today announced that it will suspend public operations effective December 11, 2020. The Museum’s Board of Directors is looking to reopen to the public sometime near the end of the second quarter of 2021, which is based on current information and projections for the pandemic, including the availability of one or more COVID-19 vaccines.

frequently asked questions

Why is the Museum closed?

“This was a difficult decision for us to make, but the safety of the children, their parents and our staff is paramount. We are a hands-on, interactive environment by design, so the restrictions and safety protocols associated with the coronavirus pandemic are particularly challenging for us. We feel the most responsible decision we could make at this point is to suspend public operations until a point in time where we can safely resume the normal operations of all of our exhibits.” – Tom Guerrieri, board chair for the Greensboro Children’s Museum

Will the Museum still operate in any way?

YES! The Greensboro Children’s Museum will continue to offer limited virtual events, content, and educational support throughout this operational pause. See our Explore (at home) page here. In addition, we will continue to work with our partners (virtually!) throughout the community that we have committed our support too.

Will my Museum membership be extended?

Yes, we will be extending memberships purchased before December 1, 2020 out for five months from the current expiration date.

Example: if you were set to expire on June 30, 2021, your membership now expires on November 30, 2021.

Can I still make a donation?

Absolutely! Investments made in the Museum today will ensure that we are ready to welcome back the community in the big, fun, hands-on way we are known for.
