Q. Destination? A. IMAGINATION!

Watch model trains hustle and bustle down the track in a kid-level diorama. Play engineer, passenger or conductor as you climb aboard a pretend train. Everywhere you look artistic interpretations of trains through the century will inspire creative journeys.

Children and adults will be able to discover the wonder of train transportation by exploring exhibit stations that incorporate math- and science- based learning opportunities, role playing activities and art interaction. Look for invitations throughout the coming months to participate in a variety of train-themed programming.

This exhibit was made possible with the generosity of the following sponsors:

Engineer Level Sponsor: CenterPoint Properties

Conductor Level Sponsors: BNSF Foundation, Kinder Morgan Foundation, Northwestern Mutual Financial Network - The Effner Financial Group

Dispatcher Level Sponsors: Atlas Model Railroad Co., Barbara Bere’, Elmhurst Model Railroad Club, Macy's

And special thanks to the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Illinois Arts Council for their support of the arts year round.

DCM Teams Up with Tix4Cause
tix4cause

In an effort to capitalize on unique and exciting new fundraising opportunities, DCM has teamed up with Tix4Cause, a ticket exchange Web site founded on an innovative, yet simple concept. Ticket holders sell their unwanted sporting, theater and music tickets, and can donate 100% of the proceeds to DuPage Children’s Museum!

 

Tix4Cause is a novel way to donate, where:

  • Ticket holders turn their unwanted seats over to the Museum and qualify for a tax deduction.
  • Ticket purchasers choose from great seats and receive reasonable pricing.
  • 100% of ticket proceeds benefit DuPage Children’s Museum.

To learn more about this unique opportunity or if you are interested in donating tickets to benefit DuPage Children’s Museum, visit www.tix4cause.com.
