DuPage Children's Museum is a unique venue to host cocktail receptions, board or club meetings, fundraisers, corporate and/or family events, and more.
- Back in 1987, Louise Beem and Dorothy Carpenter shared a strong belief in the need for open ended, interactive learning experiences for young children.
- After conducting feasibility studies, fund raising, traveling the country and touring the handful of children's museums that existed in the eighties, Beem and Carpenter incorporated DuPage Children's Museum in 1987.
- Attendance grew rapidly, and in 1992 DuPage Children's Museum opened its pilot museum location in the lower level of the Wheaton Park District Community Center. Today, the Museum provides its innovative exhibits & programs in a newly renovated facility in Naperville, consisting of three floors.
- Although much has changed since 1987, one thing has not. The original mission of the Museum, to develop creativity, thinking and problem solving in young children remains the focal point of everything DCM does even today. Come visit and see what you discover...where learning comes in to play.
