Community Access


The Strong’s community access programs and other community collaborations make museum admission possible for Rochester-area children and families who might otherwise not have this opportunity. These programs ensure that each year thousands of children and adults with financial, physical, or social limitations can visit the museum and experience its rich educational resources and unique, playful environment.

The museum delivers its access programs in cooperation with community organizations such as human service not-for-profits; schools, colleges, and universities; and health care organizations. For more information or to submit a community access request, please contact us at info@museumofplay.orgcreate new email.create new email
