Explore & More Children's Museum is a nonprofit cultural institution based in East Aurora, New York, offering hands-on, play-based learning experiences for children and families. It operates within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector and emphasizes informal learning as a pathway to healthy childhood development, serving Western New York. The organization began in a 500-square-foot room with an all-volunteer staff and now welcomes more than 60,000 children and their families each year. The museum has developed nationally recognized and award-winning programs and exhibits and maintains one of the region's most generous free admission policies. Since 2007, Explore & More has served as the anchor attraction on Buffalo’s Canalside waterfront, in collaboration with the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation, helping to drive year-round visitation and community partnerships. In April 2026 the organization unveiled an immersive exhibit called 'A Voyage to the Stage' in collaboration with Shea's Performing Arts Center.
