The mission of the museum is "to activate the intellectual and creative potential of children by being a catalyst for the process of learning." Founded in 1982, the CCM moved around between a number of temporary locations before settling in at the newly redeveloped Navy Pier. It hosts a regular series of special events and sponsors a number of educational and public programs throughout the year.
