The museum states that it celebrates childhood learning and offers exhibits that get kids moving, exploring, building, pretending, collaborating, creating, and discovering. Brad Shur, who leads Puppeteering with Brad, is the founder and lead artist of Paper Heart Puppets. The museum has been a Daily Voice Reader’s Choice winner in both 2024 and 2025. Families can create valentines for veterans, drop them in the museum’s mailbox, and the museum will get them to veterans.
