Owner description:
Children’s Peace Pavilion (CPP), a 501(c) (3) public charity is a nonsectarian, unique, interactive children’s museum where children, of all ethnicities and faiths, come to learn about peace and what it means to be a Peacemaker. The Pavilion’s unique, kid-friendly exhibits teach conflict resolution, violence prevention, character education, self-esteem, cultural understanding, and planetary stewardship by focusing on four essential elements of peace: Peace for Me, Peace for Us, Peace for Everyone, and Peace for the Planet. We have open admission on Wednesday & Friday from Noon to 4:30 pm for small groups of 5 or less. Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday are for large group tours by appointment only.
