About EdVenture:

EdVenture is a locally-managed, not-for-profit informal educational institution. We are not a state-funded government agency. Our funding comes through three main sources: 50% of our annual operating budget comes from admissions and earned revenue, 30% from members, sponsors and donors, and 20% from local government support. Edventure is supported in part by the City of Columbia and Richland County.

Behind EdVenture’s doors, we are proud to have six world-class exhibit galleries, a library, learning laboratories, resource centers and other visitor amenities. Two additional outdoor gallery spaces are located just outside the museum’s front doors. Within the total 67,000 square feet that is EdVenture Children’s Museum, there are more than 350 individual hands-on exhibits.
