Our mission is to engage children of all ages and abilities in learning through imaginative play and discovery. Our vision is to be a gathering place that builds wonder and curiosity. The Children's Museum of the Magic Valley (CMMV) is an emerging hands-on children's museum to be located in Twin Falls, Idaho. CMMV will focus exhibits, programming, and children's activities on the Magic Valley's 37,000 children ages birth through eleven years. The research and concept development behind CMMV has been ongoing since mid-2018 when it was founded as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Our goal is to establish a permanent, state-of-the-art children's museum in Twin Falls. The Twin Falls Urban Renewal Agency (URA) entered into exclusive negotiations with CMMV for the purchase of a .50 acre lot in downtown Twin Falls on the corner of Idaho St S and 3rd Ave S. Downtown Twin Falls is the heart of our community, and CMMV is eager and committed to becoming a vital part of this historical area. Currently, we operate as a "Museum without Walls" with mobile exhibit events throughout the region while we continue to raise the funds needed to build the brick and mortar children's museum. Contact us to learn more. We worked with FRAME Integrative Design Strategies & CSHQA Architects to develop our concept designs. We look forward to our next steps as we move into our schematic design phase to work out all the details with FRAME & Laughlin Ricks Architecture. We are excited to see the magic within the Magic Valley unfold as we work together to create a beautiful museum for our children.
