Explore & More - The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Children's Museum is a museum in Buffalo, New York. The museum is for and about Buffalo - with seven play zones and three educational studios that are used to tell the unique story of Western New York. Designed for children from toddlers to third grade,[1] these hands-on play zones encourage children to explore their interests through the power of play. It was founded in 1994[2] in East Aurora, New York. In 2019, the museum moved from East Aurora to the Canalside district of Buffalo.[3] Many of the former exhibits from the East Aurora location were donated to the Children's Activity Corner of Jamestown.[4] On February 14, 2018, the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation awarded a $6 million grant to the museum and the then-under construction Canalside museum was re-named in honor of Wilson.[5]
The museum is located at 130 Main St. Buffalo, NY 14202.
