Huntington Children's Museum is a children activity museum located in West Huntington, Huntington, West Virginia. The museum features dozens of interactive activity exhibits including an interactive sand table, a water table, an indoor climbing area, and a stop-motion video creation station.[3]

In 2021, the city of Huntington purchased a vacant lot, a former Shoneys, to redevelop it into the Huntington Children's Museum.[4][5] Three years later in 2024, the museum opens its doors to the public.[6]
