Explorations V Children's Museum, Children's museum in Lakeland, United States.

Explorations V Children's Museum is an independent, non-profit children's museum in downtown Lakeland, Florida, housed since 1999 in the four-story historic Kress building. Its first floor holds the "Our Town" exhibits, including a doctor's office, sheriff's car, fire truck, theater, news station, Space Shuttle, airplane, school and grocery store; the lower floor has an orange grove, tree house, truck, stand and juice factory.

Parent volunteers founded the museum in July 1991. In 1999 it moved into the four-story historic Kress building in downtown Lakeland. The organization later built an additional building that serves as the anchor institution of Bonnet Springs Park, with new exhibits scheduled to open at the end of 2022.

The museum features exhibits where children explore different jobs and community roles through hands-on activities. Visitors notice how play-based learning helps young people understand adult work and responsibilities.

The museum occupies the four-story Kress building in downtown Lakeland, with exhibits on the first, lower and second floors. United Way's Family Fundamentals is housed on site, and the museum runs off-site programs such as a free weekly session at that center for the working uninsured. Field trips are booked by several school districts.

The museum's second building anchors Bonnet Springs Park, a role separate from the downtown Kress building. United Way's Family Fundamentals center for the working uninsured is housed on site, and the museum runs a free weekly program there. Exhibits and programs are aligned with Florida Sunshine State Standards and Common Core.
