We’re taking connectivity to the next level as we bring the museum to you!
Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples is committed to the critical educational work that teachers (and parents!) do daily with students. We provide tangible, highly engaging ways for children to apply what they learn in school and be inspired to learn more.
We offer a variety of educational opportunities including field trips, STEAM workshops, and STEAM night rentals.
Our exhibits and programs are designed by former classroom teachers, disciplinary experts, and exhibit fabricators. Each exhibit is a model of three interrelated principles: an appreciation of children’s play behavior, knowledge of how an environment can influence play and learning and understanding children’s developmental milestones.
