The Outer Banks Children's Museum
Children @ Play Inc. was founded in 2007 with the idea that the Outer Banks could use an additional place for children to explore, learn and use their natural creativity through play! Our mission is to provide an environment developing young children’s levels of physical fitness, health, and creativity through hands-on learning activities that stimulate children’s intellectual growth.
Reciprocal Memberships
There are hundreds of Children's Museums in the United States. Because we are a member of the Association of Children's Museum, it allows us to be part of their reciprocal program, granting free admission to Children at Play members at other museums!
