Mobius Kids

The Children's Museum of Spokane began in 1995, with a group of dedicated volunteers who saw an overwhelming need for hands-on early childhood education in Spokane. These dedicated volunteers worked tirelessly to bring their vision to reality. The initial location became a strong foundation for what Mobius Kids has become today. In 1998 the museum moved to a larger facility on Post Street, expanding the hands-on learning opportunities for families in the area. Lead by passionate Executive Directors and a dynamic Board of Directors the museum quickly became and integral part of the Spokane community. In 2003, the Board of Directors embarked on a Capital Campaign to open a new facility. In January of 2005 the Children's Museum of Spokane and Inland Northwest Science and Technology Center, both local non-profit organizations, merged to form Mobius Spokane. Mobius Spokane is the parent of two separate operating entities, Mobius Kids and Mobius Science Center. Since opening its doors on September 3, 2005, Mobius Kids has become a mainstay in the community. The museum averages over 65,000 visitors annually, nearly doubling the annual attendance from its previous location on Post Street. Mobius Kids continues to provide fun, hands-on educational opportunities to its visitors and has become a top-tier children's museum in Eastern Washington. The name Mobius is derived from a Mobius Strip – a loop of material with a single twist that creates a continuous one-sided plane. This symbol represents the endless possibilities, creativity and sustainability that Mobius Kids encourages.
