The Westchester Children’s Museum is marking its 10th anniversary as a beloved family destination. Community members say that it’s much more than just a place for kids to play.

Located along the Long Island Sound at Rye Playland, the museum has become a hands-on learning hub for families across the Hudson Valley.

Visitors can explore interactive exhibits focused on science, art and the environment — all designed to spark curiosity and creativity.

Organizers say the museum has grown into a community staple over the past decade, offering educational programs, workshops and events throughout the year.

Assemblyman Steve Otis says the experience encourages discovery and exploration, calling that the true gift of a children’s museum.

The celebration included a birthday song as families gathered to mark the occasion.

The museum offers a range of membership options, including plans for families and grandparents.
