Explore & More – The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Children's Museum fills five floors at Canalside on Buffalo's waterfront with hands-on exhibits, games and workshops built around the history and culture of Western New York. It's designed for kids and the grown-ups who bring them, with play spaces for the youngest visitors and regular programs and events throughout the year.

The museum began in 1994 as a grassroots project of parents, educators and designers and grew from its original East Aurora home into its downtown Canalside building.
