Frequently Asked Questions:

Where are you located?
The Stillwater Children's Museum is in the start-up and development phase, and currently does not have a physical location. Our administrative office is located at 1601 S. Main Street, Stillwater. You can reach us by phone at 405-533-3333.

When will the Museum be open?
We do not have a Grand Opening date just yet, but we are hopeful to open the doors of the Stillwater Children's Museum in 2010. However, until we have a permanent facility, the Stillwater Children's Museum is actively taking the Museum to the child via our Museum Without Walls program.

What is the Museum Without Walls and how is it a part of the Stillwater Children's Museum?

What are your hours?
Refer to above.

How do I become a member?
Because the Museum has no physical location yet, it would not be ethical to accept memberships at this time. The Museum will offer several different levels of membership, scholarships, and passes in the future. You can get involved today by volunteering, making a donation, providing professional services, signing up for our newsletter and/or e-mail list, or offering suggestions and support. .

Where can my children go to have fun today?
Stillwater and the surrounding area provide a wide range of activities tailored to or suitable for children. The following are just a few opportunities:

In Stillwater:

  • Pine Grove Pond:(405) 372-5157
    Pine Grove Pond at Lake Carl Blackwell open for Rainbow Trout fishing. The one and a half acre pond will initially be stocked with 500 pounds of trout and 300 pounds will be added every two weeks until the water begins to warm in March. A $3 daily access permit for the lake and a $3 per-day trout permit are required. The Lakeside Convenience store is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for purchases of permits, snacks and supplies. Children under eight years old are not required to purchase a trout permit and when they make that big catch the child can get his or her photo taken free at the lakeside store. For more information about the trout fishing opportunity at Pine Grove Pond call the lake at 372-5157.

How will the Stillwater Children's Museum be funded?
a great question, and we wish we had the answer. At this time, the Board is actively pursuing several avenues for funding. Possibilities include grants, foundations, fundraisers, corporate sponsorship, city, state, and national appropriations, individual donations...the list is endless. The Board is dedicated to building a Children's Museum in Stillwater, and will exhaust every available funding path until the task is complete.

Who do I contact for more information or to get involved?
For further information you can contact us at info@stillwaterchildrensmuseum.org or by contacting any board member or staff member directly. We invite you to join this fast growing group of dedicated volunteers and help bring the museum to town sooner! We would love to hear from you:
