Children's Museum of Pooler
Located right within the Tanger Outlets complex, this museum offers interactive exhibits focused on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) for children of all ages.

This is the "Parent’s Hero" attraction. While the teenagers and adults are shopping or at the Mighty Eighth, the younger kids can spend 2-3 hours here. For reunions, you can reserve the entire museum for private events after hours, which is a fantastic way to give the kids a safe, contained "cousins' night."
