Children’s Museum of Oswego – CMOO

The Children’s Museum of Oswego, known as CMOO, is a hands-on museum for kids in Oswego, on the shore of Lake Ontario. Like other children’s museums, it is built around the idea that play is how children learn about and interact with their world.

Children’s museums feature hands-on, multi-sensory exhibits meant to be developmentally stimulating, and they are designed to include children of all abilities and backgrounds. They also give kids and the adults in their lives a place to connect, with programs for both. Exhibits celebrating local culture help children grow into proud stewards of their communities.
