Museum Closing
Unfortunately, The Climbing Tree Children's Museum will be closing it's doors on October 1. We just don't feel that the community can support a children's museum anymore. The economy has hurt every one's pocket book and our attendance has steadily fallen over the last year. We did have a couple amazing people step up and offer to be a part of the board but in looking at the big picture that was not going to be enough.

Nature Art with Ms. Amanda

Come learn and create with nature! Join Amanda this Wednesday as we create art inspired by the wild animals in our new Enchanted Forest exhibit. Participants will have an opportunity to choose their favorite animal from the Enchanted Forest and learn more about it by making a foam mask and a footprint story. We’ll also read some animals riddles and see what we learned! This one time event will occur before Amanda leaves us to return to Lassen Volcanic National Park in California. Join us Wednesday March 23rd from 3:00pm to 4:30pm. Children are $4, adults, kids under 1 year and members are free!

Children’s Museum Website Launch, Montrose CO

We’re proud to be a resource for Montrose, Colorado area children and we’re relaunching our website.

We’ll have different user friendly areas and plan on being officially launched on Monday, March 8, 2010. Some of the things that we’d like to include are:

Marketplace page – where people can submit goods that they would like to trade, sell or give away

Volunteer page – where people can download an application as well as sign up in the google form

Google Map – So people can get custom directions from anywhere

A Photo Gallery – So you can take a look at the facilities

We’re working on the website this weekend, and are open for our regular hours.

The website relaunch is being sponsored by CivilMap and Zoomla Design, both based out of Montrose, CO.

Thanks for visiting!
