Children’s Museum of the Brazos Valley Closing Location and Switching to Events-Focused Programming

The Children’s Museum of the Brazos Valley is closing its Lake Walk facility and temporarily switching to an online and mobile presence. Board Chair Pat Baker says you will see the museum even more throughout the community. “In Bryan, College Station, in the schools, and the surrounding counties. Our hope and goal is to be more within the community instead of in our designated location that we have been in,” says Baker. Baker says they are excited to have a larger presence in the schools. “Our opportunity now is going to be interacting with the students within the schools and bring the fun and education and inspiration to the students there,” says Baker. Baker says the online presence will include online learning opportunities and engagement. And signature events including the Daddy Daughter Dance, Noon Year’s Eve, and Little Sparklers will continue. In the meantime, CMBV will continue fundraising to create a new museum in a larger space at Lake Walk. The current facility will close on Saturday, October 19th. Listen to “Children’s Museum of the Brazos Valley Closing Location and Switching to Events-Focused Programming” on Spreaker. News release from the Children’s Museum of the Brazos Valley: The Children’s Museum of the Brazos Valley is excited to announce plans to expand its offerings, with a planned relocation to a larger venue to better serve the growing needs of the children and youth of our community. Since early 2021, the Children’s Museum has been proud to welcome more than 50,000 guests to our Lake Walk location. Our current facility, however, is too small to meet the community’s present and future needs. In an effort to best utilize our resources, we will be closing the Lake Walk facility on Saturday, October the 19th and temporarily switching to an online and mobile presence. “We are excited about the upcoming phase for the Children’s Museum. It’s a time to honor our deep roots in the Brazos Valley and dedicate ourselves to creating a center for education and discovery that rivals the finest Children’s Museums in the state and across the nation.” said Children’s Museum Board of Directors Chairman, Pat Baker. Brazos Valley families can still expect signature Children’s Museum events including the Daddy Daughter Dance and Rock’in Noon Year’s Eve, along with new initiatives and engagement within local elementary schools. Over the next few years, The Children’s Museum of the Brazos Valley will be fundraising to create a new museum experience in a significantly larger space at Lake Walk, offering opportunities for guests of all ages to explore, play, create, and learn. The new space will offer both permanent and rotating exhibits, programming, and activities that will make each visit a new and exciting educational experience. “We love seeing the excitement on the children’s faces as they walk towards the Children’s Museum,” said Spencer Clements with William Cole Companies, the developer of Lake Walk. “Our community needs a larger version of an interactive discovery center that will inspire the next generation. We look forward to a continued partnership with The Children’s Museum and seeing their vision unfold in Lake Walk.” The Children’s Museum is grateful to our past and current sponsors, members, and guests for all their support. We welcome the community’s support and involvement as we work together to achieve our vision, whether it’s brainstorming about future exhibits, planning and designing an incredible museum building, strengthening our community outreaching programs or reaching out to potential donors.
