cMoe Celebrates Quarter Million Visitors
Jul 19, 2010
(Evansville, Ind.) – How many quarters does it take to measure a dinosaur? The Koch Family Children’s Museum of Evansville (cMoe) plans to answer that and much more as they celebrate the arrival of their quarter-millionth visitor this week.

“We anticipated we would reach 250,000 people around our fourth birthday in September, but attendance is strong this summer, so we moved our plans up a bit,” stated Kelley Morgan, cMoe’s Director of Operations. Since opening in 2006, cMoe has welcomed guests from all 50 states and over 12 countries. “Of course, the majority of our visitors come from the tri-state area since we are the only children’s museum in a 90-mile radius. We are really grateful to the community for how they support us,” said Morgan.

To celebrate the quarter-million mark, cMoe is planning special activities from July 20 to 25. Kids can bring in their own quarters to participate in unique crafts, tricks and experiments and to explore quarter facts throughout the Children’s Museum’s galleries. The cMoe Gift Shop will also be offering 25% off all purchases.

cMoe is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from Noon to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.cmoekids.org or call 812-464-cMoe (2663).
