WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO
The Center for Exploration is a campaign to build a Children's Museum & Destination Playground in Grand Forks, ND

Sustainability is a key focus while the board and fundraising team are working to simultaneously raise funds for an operational endowment to help off set some of the operating costs.
