GALVESTON, Texas - The Galveston Children's Museum is preparing for a major transition: the nonprofit announced it will move into the Discovery Museum at Moody Gardens as part of a two-year residency slated to begin in November 2026.

Museum leaders said the partnership - which runs through Jan. 7, 2029 - is designed to expand hands-on learning opportunities for families across the Gulf Coast while the organization continues working toward its long-term goal of a permanent home.

"This is much more than a new location," Zahrah M. Ektefaei, executive director of the Galveston Children's Museum, said in the announcement.
