Why Your Ticket Matters

Noon Year’s Eve is one of Explore Children’s Museum’s three annual fundraising events. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Explore relies on your participation and generosity to keep play accessible to all.

Every visit, membership, and event helps us:

• Keep admission affordable—we charge $8 per guest, but it costs $11 per guest to operate.

• Support our All Access program, providing reduced admission and memberships to families with financial constraints.

• Continue creating meaningful opportunities that inspire play, imagination, and lifelong learning.

Your support ensures every child in our community has the opportunity to play, learn, and grow.
