The San Antonio Children’s Museum was founded by a group of dedicated volunteers who were committed to building a community space dedicated to early childhood development. In September of 1995, Guido helped open the museums doors at 305 East Houston Street. Since then, millions of visitors explored three floors of hands-on exhibits that spark children’s imagination and help them discover a world of knowledge. Dedicated to children ages 0-10 years, the exhibits and programs have always focused on early childhood learning, especially in the creative arts, sciences and early literacy. In 2008, the museum launched a process of exhibit and program renovation. Three new permanent exhibits, the 1,750-square-foot H-E-B Kids’ Market, the action-packed PowerBall Hall, and the Tot Spot dedicated to infants and toddlers 0-36 months marked our commitment to become a key resource in San Antonio for early childhood development. It is comprised of a series of three, two-story exhibit halls totaling 65,000 square feet. Between each exhibit hall, glass facades create daylight-flooded transitional spaces that connect visitors to the additional 39,000 square feet of outdoor exhibit yards.
“Your team’s “can-do” attitude through numerous changes and flexibility throughout my fundraising efforts has been exceptional. They have worked tirelessly to keep our project under budget with a strong commitment to opening on-time for our community.”
— Kim Abernathy, CEO, ChildSafe
