London Regional Children's Museum, Children's museum in London, Ontario, Canada
The London Regional Children's Museum is a children's museum in London, Ontario that spans multiple floors with interactive exhibits focused on science, art, and natural history. The spaces are designed for young visitors to actively explore and experiment with the displays.
The museum was founded in 1975 by Carol Johnston after she visited the Boston Children's Museum and was inspired by what she saw there. It became the first children's museum established in Canada and opened doors to similar institutions across the country.
The eight learning zones throughout the space encourage hands-on exploration of topics connected to the local region and scientific discovery. Visitors engage directly with the displays to understand how the area and its natural world relate to their own experiences.
The facility offers educational programs, day camps, and field trip opportunities throughout the year for different age groups. Plan to spend several hours exploring all the floors and participating in the hands-on activities available.
A complete whale skeleton named Bellina hangs from the atrium ceiling and immediately captures visitors' attention. The skeleton serves as a central focal point for learning about ocean life and natural science.
