The Children's Peace Pavilion is a unique interactive museum in Independence that houses more than 25 non-sectarian interactive exhibits focused on the idea of peace and harmony for oneself, one's community, the world, and the environment. The museum was originally opened to the public in 1995 as a gift to Missouri's children from the Community of Christ. It is open to the public Wednesdays and Fridays throughout business hours, with Mondays, Tuesdays, and Saturdays reserved for tours for small groups and organizations. Exhibits promote ideas of self-care, emotional communication, environmental conservation, and social responsibility, including a conflict-resolution puppet theater. Though the museum is free to enter, a suggested donation of $1 USD or more is strongly recommended to aid with future museum operations.
