Where Curiosity Leads to Discovery
Hands-on experiences and playful learning that help kids explore how the world works.
There’s More Than One Way to Explore
Choose the pathway that best fits how your family learns, plays or supports the museum.
Joy is where learning begins. Through active play, hands-on exploration, and creative experimentation, children discover how the world works — and build confidence, connection, and curiosity that lasts.
Play & Discover
Explore STEAM concepts through hands-on challenges and real-world problem solving. We build confidence by helping kids test ideas, ask questions, try again, and discover how learning leads to leadership.
Learn & Lead
Give & Grow
Support imagination and possibility for every child. Through community generosity, new exhibits, programs, and experiences take root — helping curiosity grow into confidence, courage, and opportunity.
Make memories that matter. From birthdays to special occasions, our museum is the perfect place to gather, play, explore, and mark big moments together — where wonder becomes joy and joy becomes lasting memories.

why it matters
Our Mission at Amazement Square
Last year, over 70,000 children and families explored, played, and learned at Amazement Square.
We cultivate a community of lifelong learners by sparking imagination, creativity, and curiosity.
As a hands-on, multi-disciplinary museum in historic downtown Lynchburg, we believe creative play is one of the most important ways children — and families — learn and grow. Through interactive exhibits and immersive experiences, we invite guests of all ages to explore, experiment, and discover together.
When curiosity leads the way, anything becomes possible.
