Children's Museum
Opened to the public in May of this year, the Children's Museum was initiated by Queen Rania to complement the reforms taking place within the formal educational system that are meant to accelerate change in the quality and range of educational opportunities in Jordan.
Located within the Al-Hussein National Park on a 20,000 square meters plot of land, the museum is a place where learning is brought to life. It was conceived and designed specifically for children fourteen years old and under to encourage curiosity, creativity, discovery and self-expression.
By providing an interactive learning experience that builds on classroom learning, the museum will provide Jordanian children with a greater appreciation of their national identity by exposing them to the diverse elements of the Jordanian environment. Through one hundred and fifty hands-on exhibits, it will encourage exploration and understanding of the culture, sciences, technology, and industry, through innovative and educational multi-media resources and programs.
The facilities within the Children's Museum include an exhibit hall, a multi-purpose hall, a children's library and IT center, an activity room, an outdoor exhibit area, an outdoor theatre, a museum shop, a birthday room, a café and a planetarium.
