Tell Others



Excited to share The Peoria PlayHouse with others, but not sure what to say? 

Help us to speak with One Voice and share the following key points:

  • The Peoria PlayHouse is a hands-on, interactive children's museum.
  • Each area of the museum allows children, along with their families, to dream, explore, and learn through play.
  • It's being created by The Junior League of Peoria and will be the first and only one of its kind in our community.


The basics of the project are:

  • Located in the Historic Glen Oak Pavilion
  • Projected Opening Fall 2008 after Spring 2008 Peoria Zoo opening
  • Cost to build is $5.25 million
  • Accessible to all, regardless of gender, age or ability
  • Exhibits meet IL Early Learning Standards, and are based on local environment, history, and culture
  • Collaboration between JLP, Peoria Park District, and Peoria Zoological Society
  • Other cities like ours already have a children's museum.
