Amazement Square is an award-winning, hands-on children’s museum located in historic Downtown Lynchburg, Virginia. The museum offers four floors of hands-on, interactive exhibits designed to make learning fun. At Amazement Square, we are dedicated to motivating children and adults of all backgrounds toward greater creativity and understanding of themselves and the world through hands-on learning! Guests of all ages can paint on the walls, explore life on the farm, create a rainstorm over downtown Lynchburg, float a boat down the James River, and even rock out on stage in a band of your own! The Museum's exhibits and educational programs encourage all participants to explore the arts and humanities, culture, science, technology and their interdisciplinary relationships.

Located in the historic J.W. Wood Building in downtown Lynchburg, Amazement Square offers four, spacious floors of interactive exhibitions, workshops and educational programming. Amazement Tower, a meandering tangle of pathways, tunnels, illuminating stairs and glass elevator, connects all the Museums exhibitions, and is the tallest indoor, interactive climbing structure in the United States.

Ample parking available around museum. Please note the train still operates on the tracks below the museum. We ask that you notice the handicap parking area in front of the museum.
