Wheeling Childrens Museum-directly across the street from the hotel

On the corner of 10th and Main Street in Wheeling, there is a small, but spirited place for kids. You will see children interacting with parents, grandparents, and each other. They are learning through hands-on play with puppets, blocks, costumes, glue, and more. You can see imaginations taking flight. We invite you to come visit us. Let the children take the lead, and give us, the adults, a glimpse of the curiosity and creativity rampant in a child's mind.
