MUSEUM
The Children’s Museum, located on the first floor of the Kamloops Museum and Archives, is a space of interactivity aimed primarily at children. Features in the space are hands-on and invite visitors to engage with and explore regional heritage in playful, spontaneous, and creative ways.
In this space, we encourage all our guests to be loud and learn boldly. We invite you to dive into the Children’s Museum, engaging with the exhibits hands-on and exploring through touch.
