Flint Children's Museum

Since some exhibits are paper heavy, we recycle all paper that is used in programming or use it as scraps. We strive to use as many recycled/reuse everyday products like paper towel rolls, bottles, bottles caps, and more in single use programming. Visitors and staff alike are encouraged to bring these everyday items in from home/work to be re-used and made into beautiful art by kids everyday!

The FCM offers a breastfeeding private room and baby changing stations in family restroom.

Our museum shop offers small snacks and eating area. Families can leave and grab a meal and come back at no additional charge. We are located 3-5 minutes from Downtown Flint, with a number of eating places like the Farmer's Market, Jimmy Johns, or many locally owned restaurants.

If you don't like crowds, we offer "Field Trip Forecasts" on our social media pages to tell our families when large field trips or events take place for those with sensory difficulties. Or ask about our sensory bags when you visit.

Our social media (Search Flint Children's Museum) and website are the best way to get everything you need before you visit with an online calendar, links to maps, and admission information. Our front desk staff is also available by email or phone during operating hours at the phone or email listed in this profile.

The FCM does have a museum shop packed with fun toys for ages 0-10 to take home and enjoy. Our immersive exhibit, Discovery Zone, can bring in some fun themes like dinosaurs, under water stuffed creatures, or other fun one-of-a-kind toys. Educational toys like learning place mats and counting/fraction items can also be found in the shop.

The FCM has a dedicated and accredited Educator on it's management staff. The Educator is a former teacher and creative mind that spearheads all programming, field trip lesson plans, and is integral in teaching our front lines on how to interact with children in an educational but fun way.

The FCM’s exhibits & Field trip programming reinforce Next Generation Science Standards and Michigan Curriculum benchmarks for children ages 0-8.
