The McMinnville Children’s Museum was born from a simple dream: to give the children and families of Warren County a space to learn, play, and explore together. Since our founding, we’ve been bringing STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) education to life through hands-on activities, community events, and our popular Tinker Takeout project boxes. Every program we create is designed to spark curiosity, build creativity, and inspire critical thinking in our children.

But this is only the beginning. Our ultimate goal is to build a permanent, state-of-the-art children’s museum right here in McMinnville—a place where learning through play can happen every day. To make that vision a reality, we are raising funds for land acquisition and development, so that one day soon we can break ground on a space that belongs to the whole community.

New Year’s at the Park is more than a celebration. It’s a step toward that future. When you purchase a ticket, you’re not just securing a night of music, dancing, and fun; you’re investing in the growth of a resource that will serve families for generations to come. Together, we can ring in the new year while building something extraordinary for our children.
