The Charles and Linda Williams Children's Museum is scheduled to open in Fall of 2008 and will be the first hands-on science center in Volusia County. The 6,200 sq. ft. addition to the current 3,100 sq. ft. Children's Wing will be renamed the Charles and Linda Williams Children's Museum. The resulting 9,300 sq. ft. space will house fifteen professionally designed interactive exhibits that will demonstrate various principles of science, engineering, and physics. The addition will be defined through its unique contemporary architectural design and will create excitement through soaring open spaces with an abundance of windows to provide natural light and a visual link to the outside environment. 

The exhibits have been selected with the assistance of the Volusia County School Board in order to support the Sunshine State Standards. The Children's Museum will facilitate hands-on, inquiry-oriented experiences in order to develop scientific reasoning in young students. The exhibits will be designed by Hands-On, Inc., an award-winning exhibition design firm with clients from major cities around the world including Cairo, Belfast, and Boston. Primary funding for this project has been provided by Charles and Linda Williams,Volusia County Echo, and the State of Florida.
