To our valued stakeholders, friends, supporters and treasured volunteers,
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the sale of the tag! Children’s Museum property located behind Target on Arapaho Avenue effective April 25th, 2025. This decision was not made lightly. During the past year, tag! Children’s Museum faced several setbacks including rising construction costs, state budget cuts and unforeseen project interruptions. After careful consideration, the board felt the sale of the property was the only option left due to financial responsibilities and our inability to move forward with constructing the museum.
The board is still meeting regularly and brainstorming ideas on how to continue tag! Children’s Museum mission in the Northeast Florida community. We have discussed the possibility of mobile programming for various organizations/schools, and we are actively searching for a temporary location that could serve as the program office, workshop space, etc.
We have donated a supply of STEAM kits to the Children’s Home Society of Florida in support of our mission to inspire play, discovery, exploration, and innovation through science and creativity.
Over these next few months, the tag! Children’s Museum board of directors will continue to meet and discuss the future of tag! and its mission. We have not given up on our dream of becoming a valued community resource, local destination, educational laboratory and an advocate for children.
We are incredibly grateful for the support and dedication of our donors, volunteers, staff, and beneficiaries over the years. Your contributions and support of our mission have been nothing short of incredible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
