History
Founded in 1990 by community parents & educators
The Children’s Museum has been a resource to the Capital Region for 35 years! The Museum’s first home was in donated space at the Downstreet Marketplace building on Broadway in Saratoga Springs. It then rented space at 36 Phila Street in the fall of 1994. In November 2001 the Museum moved from Phila Street to 69 Caroline Street.
In 2021, The Children’s Museum at Saratoga (CMAS) had a wonderful opportunity to affiliate with another Capital Region children’s museum, The Children’s Museum of Science and Technology (CMOST) (formerly located in the RPI Tech Park in Troy, NY).
Also In 2021, the Museum began its next journey – moving to the Lincoln Baths building in New York’s Spa State Park in Saratoga. The new Museum is an invaluable resource to the people of Saratoga and the entire Capital Region, providing education and play opportunities for the children in our area.
Opened in July of 2022, the Museum features a larger space, new exhibits, interactives, classroom spaces, and access to the natural resources and amenities of the State Park.
