About The Childrens Museum of the Upstate

The Children's Museum began with one mother's wish to create a place in Upstate South Carolina where children would be inspired and learn in an informal, hands-on environment. In December 2003, local benefactors donated the former Greenville County Library building and the surrounding land to The Children's Museum of the Upstate and plans began to take shape. With 20 interactive exhibits on three floors, our 80,000 square foot facility at Heritage Green is one of the largest children's museums in the United States. The mission of Childrens Museum is to spark a life long passion for curiosity and learning through play.
