New Home for Great Lakes Children’s Museum

Sept. 28, 2024

As planning proceeds for the new Freshwater Research & Innovation Center at Discovery Pier in Traverse City, several current tenants of the space are looking for new homes. Notably, this includes the Maritime Heritage Alliance, Inland Seas Education Association, Traverse Area Community Sailing, and the Great Lakes Children’s Museum (GLCM). The latter announced this month that they have a new home base planned, dubbed “The Curiosity Place,” at Grand Traverse Mall. Per a press release from GLCM, the Curiosity Place will have “expanded gallery space, as well as doubled program spaces. GLCM will bring their classic and well-loved exhibits to the new space while introducing fresh attractions and activities.” The new location will be up and running later this fall, along with the new Power of Play boutique toy store.
