Popular KY Kids Museum Closing
A southern Kentucky science museum that had become a destination for school field trips plans to permanently close down on Sunday.
Jeff Moore, president of the board of the Barren River Imaginative Museum of Science in Bowling Green, said the financial struggles the facility faced made the option to close unavoidable.
The museum would need $50,000 to meet current and potential expenses, Moore told the Daily News
The museum opened in 1994 and its hands-on exhibits helped the museum become a popular field trip destination for many schools in the area. The museum also partnered with Western Kentucky University and Green River Regional Educational Cooperative to provide science content training to hundreds of teachers through workshops and in-school visits.
