“We are excited to welcome families to the Nido and Mariana Qubein Children’s Museum,” said Executive Director, Megan Ward. “We will provide a new way in which children can learn and grow in High Point.”

World class exhibits include Kids Point, a kid-sized town modeled after High Point where children explore working at a veterinary clinic, a café, a furniture design studio and more. Mars Academy invites children to travel to space to start their own Mars colony and explore the Mars terrain. The Hall of Mysteries is an eclectic home and laboratory that offers more than 150 clues to multiple mysteries to solve. There’s a STEAM Lab (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math), a vertical climber, an Outdoor Adventure Zone, a theater, arcade and a double-decker carousel.

“We’re ready for the community to experience the joy and learning the Nido and Mariana Qubein Children’s Museum will provide,” said Barry Kitley, Board Chair, “after experiencing multiple supply chain issues in bringing the museum to fruition, we will be ready to unveil the commitment, hard work and love that is interwoven into this project.”

Following the grand opening weekend, the museum will be open Tuesdays-Sundays. In addition to daily admission, The Nido & Mariana Qubein Children’s Museum will offer annual memberships, gift cards, birthday parties, programs, field trips and professional development for educators.
