Downtown location since

KidsQuest Children's Museum is a hands-on, family-oriented museum offering more than 25 interactive exhibits designed to spark imagination and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) discovery for young children and their families.

The museum first opened on December 11, 2005, in the Marketplace at Factoria. In 2017 the growing institution relocated to downtown Bellevue at 1116 108th Ave NE, taking over a building that had previously housed the Rosalie Whyel Museum of Doll Art.

KidsQuest has become a central family destination on the Eastside, anchoring downtown Bellevue's cluster of cultural attractions alongside the nearby Bellevue Library and Bellevue Arts Museum.
