2010 - Children’s Museum - In Planning - (7/4/08) Rye Playland will become home to the Westchester Children’s Museum, a non-profit center that could revitalize the business at the theme park. The plan is to build the museum in the park’s old “bathhouse” building, which will need some signifigant work as it hasn’t been used in over 40 years. $8.8 million has been approved to restore the building and that the early estimates for the museum are $23.3 million and hopes to open in 2010.
