What Age Group is CMOM Designed For?
CMOM is designed especially for children ages 0–6, a time of important brain development and growth. Our hands-on exhibits and programs support early learning through play, creativity, and exploration. While older children may enjoy select exhibits and programs, most of our spaces are specifically created for toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary-age kids. We encourage grown-ups to play too!

To keep our exhibits clean, safe for play, and free of allergens, food and beverages are not allowed inside the building. While CMOM does not offer a cafeteria, you are welcome to leave and return throughout the day to enjoy nearby dining options and discount offers.
