Passport to Play

We’re thrilled to announce Passport to Play, a partnership with First Bank to welcome Coastal Children’s Museum member families for a free visit this winter!

From November 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026, Coastal members can enjoy hands-on exhibits, imaginative play spaces, and special activities—all at no cost. No preregistration required, just let us know who you are and we can look you up!

Thank you to First Bank for helping us keep the spirit of play alive!

Fun Fund

Give the gift of fun to another child this season with our Fun Fund: all donations will be used to gift admission to our programs and events to a family that otherwise may not be able to participate.

This project was born through the idea that as a community we can come together to offer opportunities to play to all children.

To donate, please use the button.

The Fun Fund is intended to provide admission to special events and program or for the use of an Annual Membership. To use the Fun Fund, please send us an email to let us know!
