Conveniently located right in Florence's Deibert Park, the Children's Museum of the Shoals is a unique museum designed to foster childhood development and creativity through exciting interactive exhibits.

Many of the exhibits are proudly inspired by the region's heritage, and kids can try navigating the Tennessee River, imagine themselves exploring the Tribal Trails, or show off on the Shoals Sound stage. There are also two themed areas reserved specially for the youngest visitors: “Wee Explore” and "The Piggy Market". The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday, and a special outdoor gem mine is open on Saturdays as well.
