QCM at 115 is now OPEN! Quincy Children’s Museum opened our new space at 115 North 4th in January 2024. We plan to be at this space on the West side of Washington Square in the heart of Downtown Quincy until our permanent site opens.

The Quincy Children’s Museum exists to transform the lives of children and families through experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, connection, and discovery.

In 2022 the organization acquired a historic Downtown building that once belonged to the Quincy Paper Box Company and has started the transformation into our permanent space! As renovations continue, we are looking forward to transforming this place into a destination the community will be proud of.

Conceptual designs capture the essence of the organization’s future. Bold colors, interactive exhibits, and transformative spaces that have been intentionally designed for children, families, and the community to discover something unlike anything else offered in our region.


At Quincy Children’s Museum, our mission goes beyond education—it’s about sparking the imagination and nurturing the potential in every child. Our mission is to empower the next generation with the tools they need to dream big, think critically, and build a brighter future for themselves and our community.
