The mission of Treehouse is to be the magical place where children, ages 1 to 12, “Step into a Story”® through interactive exhibits and programs, rooted in the need of all children to make meaningful connections through stories, family literacy activities, and imaginative play.
In 2022 Treehouse will celebrate its 30th birthday!
The private, nonprofit Treehouse Children’s Museum opened its doors in 1992 and has been providing unique educational exhibits and enriching programs for more than 175,000 visitors each year. Originally located in Ogden City Mall, Treehouse now has a signature building, the Elizabeth Stewart Treehouse Museum, on 22nd Street, which opened in 2006. With nearly 30,000 square feet of exhibits, a giant tree at its center, plus a theater, a global “village” an American downtown, and much more, Treehouse was built with love for the most important people on the planet – our children.
Thanks to all the generous donors who provide contributions, grants, and sponsorships that keep the Museum going and growing!
