Building for Kids Children’s Museum – Welcome Center

The Building for Kids Children’s Museum is a cornerstone of downtown Appleton, offering interactive and engaging experiences that inspire children to learn and unleash their creativity. Boldt takes pride in its longstanding partnership with the museum, having served as their trusted design and construction partner for previous expansion and renovation projects.
Recently, the museum collaborated with Boldt to reimagine the welcome center and gift shop, aiming to elevate the guest experience from the moment guests enter. To achieve this vision, Boldt’s designers worked closely with the museum’s exhibit planners to integrate an exciting space theme throughout the lobby and gift shop. Using environmental graphics and thoughtfully designed physical elements, the spaces are now cohesively connected.
The centerpiece of the revitalized welcome center is a custom-built lobby desk, crafted by Boldt’s skilled carpenters. It features interactive light buttons, adding an extra layer of fun and engagement for visitors.
