History:
In the last thirty years, children's museums have emerged as new community institutions, providing unique, interactive settings where children and families learn and play together. With ninety-five new children's museums opening in the U.S. since 1990, and 80 more in the planning phase, children's museums are the fastest growing cultural institutions in the country. In Tucson as elsewhere, families are seeking destination attractions that provide a safe and supportive environment where children are enriched as well as entertained. Conceived in the 1980s by concerned community leaders, the Tucson Children's Museum has been in operation at its current location in the City's old Carnegie Library building since 1991.
