The Golisano Children's Museum of Naples (C?mon) is Southwest Florida's first museum devoted for children and families to learn through play. With hands-on exhibit galleries, the accessible museum invites visitors of all ages to journey through the swamps of the Everglades, weave through a maze, climb a two-story banyan tree, or experiment with the water play station.
Children can become a weather forecaster, a farmer, a chef, a fisherman, an artist, an architect or a veterinarian; explore the cold of an igloo, the whoosh of the wind, the sound of the sea, the effects of water and the colors of the rainbow. Throughout the day special activities encourage our guests to get involved, try something new and be energized.
"To Provide an exciting, inspiring environment where children and their families play, learn and dream together."
C'mon opened in 2012 within the North Collier Regional Park with 38,000 square feet of interactive exhibits and programs. Visitors experience innovative activities and programs in science, history, arts, culture, music, health, life skills & more.
