Many Ways to Support the Museum

The Children's Museum in Oak Lawn is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.  Our earned revenue (admissions, memberships, and store sales) will only account for around 60% of our annual operating budget.  We rely on the financial support of individuals and businesses to help us keep our admission prices affordable.  You can help today by making a donation.  Just click the "Donate Now" button on the left to get started.
