Amazement Square

Amazement Square cultivates an engaged community of lifelong learners by sparking imagination, creativity, and curiosity. The museum is located in the J.W. Wood Building in downtown Lynchburg, one of the largest and best-preserved historic commercial buildings in the city. In 2001, after years of planning, restoration, and community collaboration, the building became Lynchburg’s first hands-on, multidisciplinary children’s museum. We are the only museum in Virginia designated as a Certified Autism Center, reflecting our commitment to creating a welcoming, inclusive environment for families of all abilities.

Amazement Square provides a fun, safe environment for children and their families to explore our interactive and hands-on exhibitions spanning multiple educational disciplines.
