Exhibits:
Our hands-on exhibits include
- K.I.D. Construction
- The Art Box
- The Lego Bar
- Puzzle Math
- Soft Spot and Reading Nook
- The Vet's Office
- Where in Our World?
- The Rice and Train Tables
- The Puppet Theater
- The Stage and Backstage
These exhibits and their paired programming employ the tools that help
children get ready for school and build on the skills they are learning in
the classroom. For example, the tangrams in Puzzle Math allow students to
construct understanding of geometric ideas, and to develop spatial skills.
The building blocks in various exhibits helps them to build knowledge in
their minds and use their body-kinesthetic skills. In the end, the ideal
early education curriculum is parading around in dress-up clothes, building
forts, and being read to-- all of which happens at the Children's Museum
every day.

School Programs:
Call the museum to book your school group. At $3.00 per child, the CMOV provides a great field trip opportunity for a pre school or elementary class. Teachers and chaperones are free with a group booking. The museum serves young people ages 2-10. Each program costs $3.00 per student with an extra cost for lunch in the "What's in my taco?" activity brought to you in conjunction with the Honest to Goodness Salsa Cafe in Wheeling. In that price you have access to all exhibits, one half hour activity, and use of the lunchroom. We can customize an activity for your class, but it might involve some supplies fee.
We have a facility for your class to eat lunch or a snack that you bring with you.
