Children’s Museum of Idaho

The Children’s Museum of Idaho is located in the west of Meridian on Progress Ave, near the famous Meridian Speedway. The building is not too big, but well-maintained with a spacious parking area. The museum promotes the motive of creativity, imagination, learning, and laughter to ensure an enjoyable experience for kids along with active learning and exploration.  

The interactive learning environment keeps children engaged in a safe environment where they are guaranteed to lose the track of time. The fenced lawn outside the building features dinosaur sculptures that catch kids' eyes at first glance and there is no moving forward until they ride each one’s back. The skeleton bones on the ground give a dramatic touch to the space, perfect for clicking pictures.

The relatively small building squeezes in a lot of attractions and activities for people of all ages to take part. This inspires young minds and gives them the confidence to step up and play an active role in this special form of learning to quench their thirst for curiosity.

Let's discuss some of these activities so that you know what to expect from The Children’s Museum of Idaho.

• A huge vintage wooden ship structure with gunports, helm, anchors, treasure box, and mizzens to give children a little preview of their lifelong wish of being inside a pirate ship. It is designed and equipped with realistic equipment to stimulate the feeling of boarding on the deck. The boat consists of a rotatable telescope for a fun learning experience for kids.
  
  
• A dark cave, high enough for adults to walk in as well, leads to a space with several well-lit windows encapsulated by glass panels. They feature artificial species of insects, animals, and reptiles that anyone can mistake to be real at first glance.
  
  
• A wall featuring native Idaho trial artifacts such as hand-knitted footwear and traditional neckbands.
  
  
• An artificial cow with an udder that is backed up by a liquid container inside to mimic the experience of milking in a safe environment. Squeezing the teat releases liquid that goes into the bucket leaving children amused when the biggest mystery of their life unfolds itself.
  
  
• A rectangular container has fruits buried inside the soil. Kids feel a sense of accomplishment and joy when they dig in to find fruits and vegetables all by themselves. 
  
  
• A small wooden house with pipes which kids assemble to create a course in which a ball can travel a land on the target by simple assembling of pipes. This provokes the problem-solving and engineering capabilities of the children in a fun-filled way.
  
  
• An outdoor 3-sided enclosed portion with mud and toy excavators for kids to have a wonderful experience cleaning the place.
  
  
• Giant lego foam pieces in a garden for kids to display their cognitive skills with their peers. Such activities introduce them to the concept of teamwork and leadership. 
  
  
• Workout machines and equipment for kids to engage themselves in a healthy activity.
  
  
• Rocket mission controller space for kids passionate to become astronauts. 
  
  
• An interactive visual learning facility to explain the solar system to kids in the simplest and coolest way possible.
  
  
• Miniature structures and puzzles of building structures for roller coasters, railway tracks, racetracks, playgrounds, and much more.
  
  
• The dentist section promotes oral care and the importance of healthy teeth through brushing. A giant brush and set of teeth to teach the right way of brushing which kids listen to very keenly. 

The Children’s Museum of Idaho has much more to offer. It aims to bring the Meridian community together with interactive shows and fun activities without getting kids bored. This interactive method encourages young brains to participate actively, stimulating learning and fulfilling children's cognitive interests.
