Why Support the Baraboo Children’s Museum?

There are so many incredible nonprofits doing great work — and we cheer them on! What makes the Baraboo Children’s Museum special is what happens when families walk through our doors: curiosity sparks, imaginations grow, and children learn through play.

We work hard to keep our admission affordable and our programs accessible for all families. Your donation helps us continue providing a safe, engaging, and educational space for little ones to learn, explore, and thrive.

Where Does My Donation Go?
Your support keeps the museum running — literally! Every dollar you give helps cover essential costs like rent, utilities, staff, cleaning supplies, maintenance, and exhibit updates.

But more than that, your gift keeps the magic alive. You might be helping feed our turtles, stock art supplies for creative play, fund materials for a science week, or refresh the firefighter uniforms in the pretend fire station.

Every contribution — big or small — makes a difference in the daily life of our museum and the families who visit.

Our Goals
In the short term, we’re focused on adding new exhibit pieces and creating even more engaging programs for our community.
In the long run, we dream of a larger space — one that includes outdoor green areas, dedicated programming rooms, birthday spaces, and more opportunities for learning through play.

Every Gift Matters
When we all give a little, it adds up to something amazing. Together, we can keep the Baraboo Children’s Museum growing, learning, and playing for years to come.

If you’d like your donation to support a specific project or goal, please let us know — we’d love to make that happen!

For larger or legacy contributions, you can connect with Edward Jones, the Community Foundation of South Central Wisconsin, or your personal financial advisor to explore ways to support the museum in a lasting way.
