About Us

The Children’s Museum of Houston (CMH) was founded in 1980 by a group of Houston parents who hoped to elevate early childhood development to a community-wide priority. CMH provides bilingual family learning programs and educational services to a broad cross-section of families, including those who visit the Museum and/or access the services of area schools, childcare centers, community centers, public libraries, and social service agencies.

We serve more children than any other children’s museum in the United States on a per square foot basis! We house 14 multidisciplinary and bilingual exhibits, a 166-seat auditorium, and the Parent Resource Library, which offers a diverse array of materials on parenting and early childhood education.
