Exhibit Sponsorship

The Children’s Museum of Wilmington fosters family and community connections and provides a place where every child can learn through play in an interactive environment. CMOW’s hands-on exhibits celebrate and encourage children’s imaginations and the power of play as the cornerstone of learning. Exhibit sponsorship allows CMOW to continue developing exhibits that let kids engage in discovery learning and creative play.

Program Sponsorship

The CMOW offers specialized programs daily to encourage children to learn through play. Helps us continue to keep our tomatoes growing in our Muddy Buddies Gardening Club and our stone soup cooking in our cooking class. Show your support by sponsoring a weekly activity.

Field T.R.E.K.S program
