About
About tag! Children’s Museum
We are so proud to be part of the St. Johns County community. The tag! Children’s Museum has had an incredible journey so far. Starting with a group of parents and business leaders in 2007 who recognized the need for a cultural environment that promotes healthy social and emotional development for children.
From those first meetings, tag! Children’s Museum was born as a 501 c 3 nonprofit. Since 2016, we have served more than 10,000 children and families and provided STEAM programming for social service partners and Title 1 school communities, bringing our programs to them.
Once completed, tag! will be a community resource, local destination, an educational laboratory, and an advocate for children. As we plan for the first phase of tag!, we are excited to invite you to be part of the tag! Campaign.
The meaning of the tag! Campaign is simple. Just like a game of tag, anyone can play. And whomever is “it”, reaches out to touch someone else. We’re asking you to be “it” and to reach out and touch the lives of the children in our area by making the tag! Children’s Museum a reality.
Our tag! Campaign
What is the tag! Campaign? We are conducting a $11 million capital campaign to give families, businesses, and others the opportunity to invest in the future of Northeast Florida.
Where will the tag! Children’s Museum be? tag! will be located in the St. Augustine Shipyard Village. The Museum’s 4-acre site will be the perfect setting for indoor and outdoor exhibits and experiences for the entire family. To learn more about how can get involved with the tag! Campaign Please contact Kim MacEwan at kmacewan@tagmuseum.org 904-647-1757.
And, while we’re building the Museum, get a jump on the fun! Join us at our office/studio for play and discovery at our workshops and camps. We invite children and families to join us as we paint, sculpt, design puppets, program robots, create costumes, weave, and discover the fun of science explorations.
