Creating the Future of Play

Help us ensure the mission and magic of Please Touch Museum continues forever.

Join us in Creating the Future of Play.


For generations, children have walked through the doors of Please Touch Museum and into a magical world where they discover the joy of learning through play.

While our doors remain closed into 2021 to protect public health, our vision of a world where all children are creative, compassionate, confident, and curious, endures. Our commitment to serving children and families persists. And our belief that play is the most important work of childhood prevails.

But to ensure this future for Please Touch Museum, we need your help.

We’re already at work.


We’re proud to announce “Creating the Future of Play,” a $5 million campaign to recover lost revenue during our extended closure and to provide a runway to reimagine how we serve the children and families of this region. Incredible promise often emerges from the greatest of challenges – we are already hard at work in creating new, immersive ways for children to learn through play.

New Market Exhibit

A complete reimagining of the much-loved Market experience, funded through a $1.2M leadership gift by The GIANT Company and scheduled to open in October 2021.  LEARN MORE

Summer Discovery Backpacks

Over 1,000 backpacks were assembled and distributed to children ages 4-8 living in West Philadelphia’s Parkside neighborhood – filled with educational activities to promote social-emotional learning during summer 2020.

Centennial Innovations Exhibit

A brand new gallery focused on innovation inspired by the 1876 World’s Fair, funded by The Pew Center for Arts and Heritage, and ready for visitors when we reopen. LEARN MORE
