Plan your next family outing to the Children’s Hands-On Museum of Tuscaloosa! CHOM, where children Explore, Create and Discover every time they visit!

We inspire learning and growth through the power of PLAY! Learning through play is what our exhibits are all about, with S.T.E.A.M. fun and exciting experiences waiting for families with newborns through 13 years. Museum exhibits, Saturday theme days, holiday celebrations, special programs, the BEST field trips and parties are all waiting!

We are continuing “CHOM AT HOME”, our distance learning program originally introduced when closed for the pandemic, for fun and educational activities, brain breaks and more. In May 2021, we began offering Sensory Friendly Sessions on the first Monday of each month from 9:30 am to 11:30 am. Our sensory modified play is for families with children on the Autism spectrum, and those that will benefit from an experience with limited admission and sound & lighting adjustments.
