Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Children's Museums
Mission: Children's educational museum
Programs: Gilbert house children's museum is more popular in our community than ever before. We have worked hard to update all of our 16 hands-on exhibits in the museum to make them current and with learning objectives that meet national educational standards over the last few years. The museum experienced a 40% increase in attendance in the 2016-2017 fiscal year compared to two years previously. Likewise, the museum has sold 30% more memberships to local families. These memberships allow families to visit gilbert house throughout the year and over 300 museums and science centers throughout the country. Gilbert house welcomes an average of 750 guests per month through these reciprocal programs. Over 90,000 visitors experienced our hands-on exhibits, 20,000 square feet outdoor discovery area, and educational programs in the 2016-2017 fiscal year. At least 20% of those visitors attended the museum through a free or reduced fee program for at-risk families. Contributions for the museum are used to improve the exhibits, create new educational programming, and keep admission and membership prices accessible.
held approximately 300 educational camps, classes and workshops for approximately 17,000 people.
