Why?

In 1975 there were approximately 38 children’s museums in the United States.  Today there are more than 340 around the world ranging in size from 3,000 square feet to 400,000 square feet.  Colorado Springs is one of 8 of the top 50 cities in the United States that does not have a Children’s Museum.  An area the size of the Pikes Peak region, with over 700,000 residents in El Paso County alone, with consistent residential and tourism growth and stability over the prior two decades, combined with the economic dynamics of the area, makes Colorado Springs a prime candidate for a children’s museum
