MHCM is the ideal destination for families with young children. With exhibits that promote play and early learning, the museum welcomes over 70,000 visitors each year. Exhibit galleries include: Early Learning Junction, Rivertown, The Science Center @ MHCM, Imagination Playground, My Backyard Adventure, and The Children’s Garden @ MHCM.

The museum is located in the heart of the historic waterfront in Poughkeepsie, just steps away from the Poughkeepsie Metro-North train station, the Walkway Over the Hudson’s Elevator, fabulous restaurants, and a new city park.

The Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum is an independent 501(c)3 not-for-profit educational organization that is supported by admission and membership sales, program fees, donations, and grants. MHCM is a member of the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM), the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC), and the Museum Association of New York (MANY).
