Description

The Grand Rapids Children’s Museum first made its debut as a museum "without walls" in August 1993 at Woodland Mall. The Museum featured two exhibits, Funstruction and Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles!, which were a huge success and exposed over 30,000 children and their families to "hands-on" exploration and learning. In July 2017, the GRCM celebrated 20 years of learning through play with a special proclamation from Mayor Rosalyn Bliss declaring July 31 "Grand Rapids Day Of Play" in honor of the GRCM.
