On Wednesday, August 28, Imagine Children’s Museum was pleased to announce an exciting milestone: They welcomed their 4 millionth visitorTo mark this significant achievement, the Children’s Museum hosted a spontaneous celebration.
When Aaron, the four millionth visitor, walked through the doors, he was greeted with a free lifetime membership to the museum and a gift bag as a token of the museum’s appreciation for his role in this incredible milestone.
In addition, the 30-year-old museum was excited about this milestone and prepared to host a “Million Bubble Salute” on its rooftop playground.
It was a 15-minute dance party where millions of bubbles bubbled out of seven bubble machines to celebrate the success with the visitors.
“I love thinking about really big numbers and when I found out we were going to welcome our 4 millionth visitor to Imagine, I was overwhelmed!”Support Elizabeth (Elee) Wood, PhD, Executive Director of Imagine Children’s Museum. “Think about what that means – 4 million pairs of hands and 4 million brains, all having fun playing and learning about the world. That’s a lot of love over the last 30 years. Imagine what we can do with that!”
The million-dollar mark was reached in 2010. The new milestone is another reason to celebrate the museum, which just received a $250,000 grant, a new mural and an expansion in 2022.
During the bubble party, Elee added, “We are so excited to have our four millionth visitor today! And what’s even better: he came with a group of friends and family! And we have millions of bubbles here on the roof!”
Raelynne, the mother of the group that included the four millionth visitor, shared her excitement: “It was a fantastic and entertaining day, and even more fun!”
Since the state has a population of only 7.8 million, the visitor count naturally includes repeat visits. In fact, this was Aaron’s second visit to the museum, but one he won’t soon forget. Museum visitors joined in, dancing to the music and enjoying the bubbles that took over the roof.
Imagine Children’s Museum is located at 1502 Wall St, Everett, WA in downtown Everett.
