KID Museum (Kids’ Innovation & Discovery) is a children's museum and child-oriented maker space in the Washington, D.C. suburb of Bethesda, Maryland.
In May 2022, KID Museum opened a new location in Downtown Bethesda that provides a larger space for activities ranging from wood shop to robotics.[1] The new space is nearly four times the size of the old space on the lower floor of Bethesda's Davis Library which will remain open for some programming.[2][3][4][5] More than 330,000 people have visited the KID Museum since it opened in 2014.[2]
The Washington Post describes KID as "The museum’s hands-on programs teach skills such as collaboration, creativity and critical thinking, as well as such technical skills as designing and building and even using power tools."[6]
