The Children's Museum of Wilmington has built thoughtful partnerships to help further our mission to provide a welcoming and engaging environment that promotes hands-on art, science, and literacy-focused learning for all children and their caregivers.
AssOCIATION OF CHILDREN'S MUSEUMS
Started in 1962, the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM) champions children’s museums worldwide. With more than 470 members in 50 states and 16 countries, ACM is the world’s foremost professional society supporting and advocating on behalf of children’s museums, and those who work at and otherwise sustain them.
Museums for ALl
Museums for All is a national, branded access program that encourages individuals of all backgrounds to visit museums regularly and build lifelong museum habits. It is open to participation by any type of museum — including art, history, natural history/anthropology, and general museums, children’s museums, science centers, planetariums, nature centers, historic houses/sites, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, and arboretums.
North Carolina Science Network
Founded as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2000 as the NC Grassroots Science Museums Collaborative, the reimagined NC Science Network unites science museums, children’s museums, nature and wildlife centers, botanic gardens, and other organizations with a common purpose.
North Carolina Science Trail
The basic concept for the North Carolina Science Trail was developed many years ago, but it wasn’t until 2021 that a working group of individuals across North Carolina were brought together to explore the feasibility of an idea that held some real magic. Two years later, the North Carolina Science Trail has 63 inaugural Trail Partners, working together to bring exceptional science education resources to the residents and visitors of our state.
ACM Reciprocal Network
The ACM Reciprocal Network is a voluntary group of ACM member museums open across the U.S. and Canada that reciprocate discounted admission to each other’s members.
200 museums participate in the network and reciprocate 50% off general admission for up to six (6) people. The card holder must be present for discounted admission.
