JLMC Signature Project

Located in Jensen Beach at Indian RiverSide Park, The Children's Museum of the
Treasure Coast (TCM) will be a 10,000 square foot facility and provide children and their
families a safe, fun environment to learn through play.

The Children's Museum will offer hands on activities, educational programs, and be a safe

exhibits, galleries, private party areas, etc. The first phase is scheduled to open late
2007/early 2008. Next is the long, rectangular part with the toddler area, the "Our Town"
and the "Cracker House". The Explorer's Wing with the Ship, Indian Encampment and
Bathysphere will be open in 2008. Commitment to end on May 31, 2009.
