The Child Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a tree-lined street in the stately Heliopolis district of Cairo, The Child Museum is a vibrant splash of color and curiosity. Forget the hushed tones of traditional museums; this place hums with the energy of young explorers getting hands-on with science and history. You're just as likely to find a child piloting a mock spaceship as you are to see them deciphering hieroglyphics. It’s less a quiet hall of artifacts and more an interactive playground for the mind, making it a beloved weekend escape for Cairo's families.
Collection Highlights
Kids can crawl through a replica of the human digestive system or step into an ancient Egyptian tomb to understand their heritage. The planetarium offers dazzling journeys through the stars, while outdoor exhibits let them experiment with pulleys and levers in the fresh air.
