Children's Museum of Rome is a 501 c(3) organization seeking to bring hands on and interactive learning to the Rome/Floyd Area. This will be an incredible asset to Rome, but we need YOUR help!

Why does Rome need a Children’s Museum?

Play is essential to learning
Limited opportunities within 35 miles
Rome & Floyd County have 13,000 kids under age 12
Clear benefits of STEAM education

What might the museum look like?

Imagine curious children experiencing a replica of what makes Rome, GA, such a special community. They connect with our beloved landmarks and businesses, learning about baking, banking, farming, and firefighters. They practice caring for a sick animal, changing a flat tire, and the importance of preventative medicine. They splash their friends in a water table shaped like the Coosa River and climb to the scenic view atop the Clocktower.

Each exhibit tells a story, reflecting how a community thrives when we all work together. The permanent and special event exhibits encourage STEAM play and a love of northwest Georgia. We want to spark imagination and creativity in a safe, fun, hands-on learning environment.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a hands-on, interactive learning environment where families can explore, learn, and grow together! Through partnerships with the Rome/Floyd community, we will inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning through engaging exhibits and educational opportunities.

We need community partners.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and we know we can't do this project alone. How will you be involved?

Our Vision

Our vision is to have a fully functioning Children's Museum, with 15-20 community exhibits by December 31st, 2025.

Our Core Values

INTERACTIVE PLAY: We believe that learning should be FUN! Play is an essential part of a child's development. We hope to create an environment that encourages laughter, imagination, and hands on exploration. Exhibits and programming will encourage children to participate, ask questions, and explore their interests!
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP: By working with the community, we can create a stronger impact on children at a young age. Our exhibits are made possible with key parts of Rome/Floyd. By teaching children about different aspects of a community, they will gain insight into how a community functions, different roles, and responsibilities of citizens and workers.
EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT: Our environment will encourage critical thinking, curiosity, and problem solving! Each exhibit/ program seeks to implement STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math) principles to foster a love of learning.
ACCESSIBLE TO ALL: We are dedicated to creating a space that is accessible to all children, regardless of abilities or background. We strive to provide accommodations to ensure every child can fully participate and enjoy their visit.
