Learn About Membership
VOLUNTEER

Welcome to KiDiMu!

For 20 years, the Kid’s Discovery Museum on Bainbridge Island has been a hub for early childhood development, creating experiences centered on playful learning that supports the broader community and children’s current and emerging needs. We serve Kitsap County families through engaging museum programming, enhanced exhibits, and a safe, nurturing space where children can grow, discover, and be inspired!

A Message to Our KiDiMu Community

We hear the community, and we want to thank you for your continued support, patience, and understanding.

Like many organizations right now, KiDiMu (Kids Discovery Museum) is experiencing extreme staff shortages. Because we are deeply committed to providing our community with an amazing, safe, and engaging children’s museum, we’ve made the thoughtful decision to close the museum doors for one week so we can bring staffing back up to appropriate levels.

📅 What this means:
• The museum will be closed for one week
• Membership holders will receive a one-week extension on their annual memberships to compensate for the closure
• We will share updated museum hours toward the end of the closure

🎒 Good news for families:
Our preschool will remain open on its normal schedule during this time.

We are incredibly grateful for this community and truly appreciate your support as we take this step to come back stronger and better for our kids. Thank you for being part of the KiDiMu family! We can’t wait to welcome you back soon! 

What our visitors say

⭐️ “KiDiMu has become our favorite place to explore! My kids beg to come back every week — there’s always something new to discover!” — Emily, mom of 3 & 5 year-olds
⭐️ “Friendly staff, welcoming environment, and the perfect mix of play and learning. KiDiMu feels like a second home to our family!” — Maria, mom of preschooler
⭐️ “The birthday party we hosted at KiDiMu was magical. The team took care of every detail and made it so easy. Our guests are still talking about it!” — Brian, celebrating his son’s 4th birthday
⭐️ “KiDiMu is an invaluable resource for our community. Their inclusive programming inspires curiosity in every child.” — Mr. H, local kindergarten teacher
⭐️ “We signed up for Gingerneering Camp and were blown away! Our son came home buzzing about building, experimenting, and creating every single day. He couldn’t stop talking about the projects. It was hands-down their favorite camp experience!” -AH, mom of preschooler
⭐️ “We were so nervous sending our child to preschool for the first time, but KiDiMu made the transition incredibly smooth. Having both AM and PM options gives us the flexibility we need, and the low student-to-staff ratio meant our child feel truly seen and supported. The inquiry-based, play-centered approach helps build confidence, curiosity, and joy in learning. Our child now runs in excited every day — we couldn’t have asked for a better first preschool experience.” -parent of preschooler

🎬Join us for Friday Fun Times this Friday 🎬from 5.30pm - 8.00pm 🎉🌟 we will be showing a wonderful movie 🍿🎊
$30 per person- including pizza and drinks 🍕🥤
Grades 5-9
Jim Henson`s Turkey Hollow is rated TV-PG and has a runtime of approximately 1 hour and 28-30 minutes (88-90 minutes). It is a family-friendly comedy and fantasy film that centers on the themes of family, nature, and imagination.

Rating
The film is rated TV-PG for mild content, including some implied sexual innuendo in comedy banter, mild violence/gore, and a few moments of tension that might be too intense for very young children. It is generally considered appropriate for family viewing and children grade 5 and up.

What It`s About
The story follows the recently divorced Ron Emmerson and his two children, Tim and Annie, as they visit the small, technology-free town of Turkey Hollow for a traditional Thanksgiving with their eccentric Aunt Cly. Bored without their phones and internet, the kids decide to investigate the local legend of the "Howling Hoodoo," a mythical monster that lives in the woods.
Their adventure leads them to discover strange, friendly creatures (which are the new puppets designed by the Jim Henson Creature Shop) and a plot by a scheming neighbor to steal Aunt Cly`s prize-winning, hormone-injected turkeys. The children must work with the monsters to solve the mystery and save the day. The film is narrated by Chris "Ludacris" Bridges.

How Long
The movie runs for approximately 1 hour and 28 minutes (88 minutes)
