Where Curiosity Leads to Discovery…

Nestled in the heart of Joplin, Missouri, the Schroeder Family Exploreum is a vibrant new destination for families and young learners—now located in the former Joplin Public Library. Our mission is to inspire and empower children through hands-on, engaging activities rooted in STEAM education—Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.

We’re passionate about bringing high-quality recreational and educational experiences right to our local community, so families no longer need to travel far to find interactive, imaginative learning opportunities. Whether you’re exploring our exhibits, joining a workshop, or attending a special event, the Exploreum is a place where fun meets discovery for curious minds of all ages.

Come learn, play, and grow with us—right here in Joplin!
