The center, which is located at the historic Imperial Sugar refinery site, serves families with children from birth to age 12 and features three permanent galleries including:
- Kidtropolis USA, where kids can learn how to run a city featuring real life Fort Bend County business building such as Fort Bend Christian Academy and H-E-B
- How does it work gallery, where kids can learn physics and STEM-related items
- Tot*Spot for children up to age 3
The museum also features two rotating galleries—cultural and what’s new—which are changed every 18 months, Yau said.
Beyond its galleries, the museum also offers changing weekly events to ensure children can stay engaged, Yau said.
“This is something the community wanted and it’s very important for families in Fort Bend to support children,” Yau said. “Children really the future ... it’s very important because these are the next engineers, the next scientists and the next problem solvers and it’s very important that we support that in our own community out in Fort Bend.”
