Welcome to the NEA Children's Museum!

We are a non-profit organization in Jonesboro, AR, dedicated to creating an interactive museum where children can explore, play, and learn through hands-on exhibits and experiences. Our mission is to inspire curiosity, creativity, and community by providing a space that fosters lifelong learning and joy for families in Northeast Arkansas.

Master Plan

We’ve been hard at work on our Master Plan, and we’re thrilled to finally share a behind-the-scenes look at this exciting phase of the project!

So, what is a Master Plan?

Over the past 14–16 weeks, we’ve partnered with the world-renowned Roto Group (our exhibit design firm) to bring the vision of the Children’s Museum to life.

Here’s what this phase included:
    •    Countless creative meetings and workshops
    •    Clear goals and vision development for the museum
    •    Space planning and layout design
    •    Initial exhibit renderings
    •    A detailed cost analysis for building and operation

Our mission is simple:
To create an unforgettable, hands-on learning experience that’s accessible to every child and family in Northeast Arkansas—and that celebrates the spirit and uniqueness of our region.

Together, we’re building something incredible for NEA’s future.

  • Within NEA, we have the potential to reach over 11,000 children.
