why it matters
Our Mission at Amazement Square
Last year, over 70,000 children and families explored, played, and learned at Amazement Square.
We cultivate a community of lifelong learners by sparking imagination, creativity, and curiosity.
As a hands-on, multi-disciplinary museum in historic downtown Lynchburg, we believe creative play is one of the most important ways children — and families — learn and grow. Through interactive exhibits and immersive experiences, we invite guests of all ages to explore, experiment, and discover together.
When curiosity leads the way, anything becomes possible.
What’s Happening Next at Amazement Square
Plan ahead. Save the date. Make memories that last.
There’s always something new to explore. From workshops and themed days to seasonal celebrations, every visit brings something different to discover.
