Host Your Child's Next Birthday Party at NSCM!
Host your birthday party at NSCM! Our team will make your celebration special and stress-free. With private and semi-private options, all events include access to the museum for 40 people and exclusive access to our Party Room.
Hands-on Exhibits for Kids
NSCM, located at 10 Main Street in Peabody, resides in a former bank building, with 14 distinct rooms, each curated with different themes for hands-on play, including a Rotating Room which changes seasonally! Exhibits are frequently updated and their smaller spaces aren’t overwhelming for younger visitors.
Local Programs for Kids
Nearly all programs at NSCM are included with admission, as part of our mission for access. Programs take place in our large, bright Party Room, and include regular offerings such as Yoga, Music and Movement, Storytelling, STEM workshops, and Sports Classes, as well as special monthly, themed events. Check out our events calendar and book your spot now!

Throughout the year, we also welcome special performers, educators, and community partners for hands-on STEAM activities, live performances, seasonal celebrations, and more. Best of all, most programs are included with Museum admission!

Get & Stay Connected
“A museum provides the perfect addition to downtown. It is the type of destination business that has the ability to provide education and entertainment to residents and visitors while generating business for existing restaurants and other complimentary businesses. While there are other children’s museums in Massachusetts, it would be a unique addition to the North Shore.”
