North Platte Area Children's Museum

At the North Platte Area Children’s Museum, every laugh, every discovery, and every moment of imagination represents something bigger—an investment in the future of our community.

For over two decades, the Children’s Museum has been a place where children learn through play, families connect, and curiosity comes to life. But behind the exhibits and experiences is a deeper purpose: ensuring that every child in North Platte and the surrounding region has access to hands-on learning, creativity, and opportunity.

Giving Day is more than a fundraiser—it is a chance for our community to come together and say, our children matter.

Your support directly impacts:

• Educational experiences that inspire STEM learning and creativity
• Accessible programming for families of all backgrounds
• Safe, engaging spaces where children can grow, explore, and imagine
• The future of the museum, including plans for a new facility designed to better serve our community for generations to come

The truth is, museums like ours don’t exist without community support. Every dollar given helps us maintain exhibits, create new experiences, and continue offering a space that so many families rely on.

On Giving Day 2026, we invite you to be part of something meaningful.

Whether you give to support daily operations or contribute to our New Building Fund through the Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation, your generosity ensures that the Children’s Museum remains a vibrant, growing resource for North Platte.

Because when you give to the Children’s Museum, you’re not just supporting a building—you’re investing in childhood, in families, and in the future of our entire community.
