About Us

Wrangling five little ones (including one with autism) through a museum? Been there, done that. At Imagine Planet, we get it. We're Jackson's haven for hands-on science fun - and we don't charge admission. Come check us out risk-free and see for yourself! If a meltdown hits, no biggie. We're all about providing a safe, welcoming space for families to explore animals, activities, and more. There's something here to spark every age's imagination. 

The genius behind it all? Our founder Jean McKim. This Yale Geology grad and educator  knows her rocks AND kids. After years leading DNR programs, Science Olympiad, and nature clubs, Jean's mastered the art of fusing facts with fun. Her humor and heart come through in every distinctly awesome Imagine Planet experience.
