The Children's Museum of The Upstate has been a family resource in Upstate South Carolina and surrounding areas since 2009. In 2014, TCMU was named a Smithsonian Affiliate.  

The museum seeks to: 

• Provide a dynamic, safe and consistent local destination for families 
• Serve as an educational laboratory where informal learning and play-based theories can come to life through inclusive and diverse programming 
• Create a community-driven environment for multi-generational families and maintain role as a family resource  
• Advocate for children by responding to the current needs of families in our communities to provide a safe, inclusive, diverse environment 

 
As a non-profit, 501-c3 organization, the Museum relies on community support and funding to ensure that we can continue to provide resources, seek creative partnerships, create engage exhibits, and develop inspiring programs and events. Click here to support The Children’s Museum of the Upstate’s vital programming!
