Welcome to the Children's Own Museum!

The Children's Own Museum (COM) is committed to providing play-based learning experiences which stimulate the development of young children. The concept of the museum is simple: to reflect the geography, culture and values of the city of Toronto through physical design, exhibits, staffing and programming. Our target audience includes children from birth through ten years of age and their parents, families and caregivers. COM is a not-for-profit charitable organization, based in Toronto.

The New Location Search Has Begun

After three and a half successful years, hosting over 450,000 visitors at our McLaughlin Planetarium site, the COM closed its doors to the public in late 2002. We are active in the search for a new location - keep your eyes and ears open for upcoming announcments. Location, visibility and accessibility are paramount. Because the Children's Own Museum attracts thousands of parents, care-givers, teachers and children each year, we are looking for a new location which will have great synergy with other destinations.
