Museum Fall Hours: Wednesdays - Saturdays, 9am-Noon and 1-4pm, Tuesdays & Sundays 9am-Noon.
Today is our Not-So-Spooky Spectacular that focuses on fun - not fright! We celebrate throughout the play session with all kinds of special activities, all free with regular museum admission. Kids and adults are encouraged to come in costume to explore our exhibits. Check out some fantastical science experiments, create take-home crafts, pose for pictures with fun props in front of a full moon backdrop, and try out our pumpkin scavenger hun to receive an extra special prize at the end of your visit. Please note that we do not hand out any candy for this event.
Yes, we do close the museum between noon and 1pm to give our hardworking staff a chance to reset the museum and take a lunch break.
Visitors to the Children's Museum of New Hampshire must reserve their spots and pay admission here online prior to their visit.
If you are a Museum Member:
If you are a Member of an ASTC or ACM museum, through which we offer reciprocal benefits, please choose the "w/discount" price types below to reserve your spot for free, then present your member card when you arrive at the museum.

If you have a discount of any kind besides a CMNH Membership (see here for discount information) such as Library passes, EBT/WIC cardholders, or Military:

Please choose the appropriate price types below, and reserve for the exact number of people visiting (in other words, don't just reserve one spot for yourself. We use these reservations to help with our capacity limits). We are only allowing around 250 individuals to visit the museum during one 3-hour play session.
By reserving, you are agreeing to follow Museum rules. Please leave strollers at home or park them in our coat room. We instead encourage you to bring front packs, or borrow one from the museum.
Refunds are not available unless: A guest is unable to visit due to an illness, AND we are unable to reschedule their visit. In the event of an illness, we will refund any payments IF you notify us in advance of your scheduled visit. Please email questions@childrens-museum.org
PLEASE NOTE: Your reservations are specific to the date/time you reserved/paid for. If you need to visit on a different date/time, please contact us (questions@childrens-museum.org) - your tickets are not transferable to any other date/time unless you notify us and we reschedule for you.
