Noon Years Eve is one of Explore Children’s Museum's three annual fundraising events. Explore Children's Museum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and our annual revenue from admission, memberships, birthday parties, and field trips do not cover all of our operating costs. Explore Children's Museum charges $8/person for admission, but spends about $11/person to operate. Our organization relies on your generous donations and participation in our fundraising events to fulfill our mission to serve children and families in our community. In addition, we never want financial constraints to be a barrier to the power of play for any child in our community. Your support also allows us to continue to be accessible to all children and families using our need-based fee system, our All Access program, for daily admissions and memberships for visitors with financial constraints. 

Our children are our collective future and we serve them, and our communities, best when we invest in them early in childhood. Help support our mission to provide meaningful opportunities, inspire participation in purposeful play, and promote lifelong learning. Thank you!
