History

Explore & More Children’s Museum was founded in 1994 in East Aurora, NY by a small, grassroots group of parents, educators and toy designers. Beginning in just 500 square feet of space then expanding to 6,000 square feet has now transitioned to 43,000 square feet in a stand-alone building in the South Aud Block of Canalside on Buffalo’s Waterfront. 

What We Do

Explore & More provides high quality, unique, and inspiring educational programs across Western New York, including in schools, public libraries, community spaces, and Canalside. We are always looking for more volunteers to help make a positive impact on the lives of children and families in Western New York!
