The museum was founded in 1994 by a dedicated group of teachers and parents. Originally called Discover Westfield Children's Museum, we first opened our doors on June 1, 1997 at 99 Elm Street, Westfield, MA. In 2008, the museum changed its name to Amelia Park Children's Museum and moved to its current location at 29 South Broad Street in Westfield, MA.

APCM provides an enriching environment where children and their families can learn about themselves, their communities, and the world around them. Integrated throughout the museum is a broad range of creative exhibits and imaginative hands-on activities, which foster a climate of learning and exploration. Central to the museum's philosophy is that children can learn through the arts, history, science, and the region's rich environmental and cultural diversity.
