at KidCo. Children’s Museum

The idea for KidCo. Children’s Museum was first brought to life in November of 2021 when Aaron Duma was stuck at home with COVID. Rather than binging a series on Netflix or doing some spring cleaning, Duma took a different route. He decided to put an entire business plan together for a one-of-a-kind, local children’s attraction that would become known as KidCo. Children’s Museum.

“We've always talked about this idea, so we took that time to put the numbers together and a plan in action for our small business. We knew that there was no reason it couldn’t work when we took into consideration what we really liked about children’s museums, as well as how we could make ours even better for the FargoMoorhead area,” Duma said.

The launch of KidCo. Children’s Museum is personal for Duma, as he states that the inspiration behind the project’s launch is his own children, as well as the need for it for other children in the community.

“We’re just a couple parents who enjoy taking our kids to things like this. My business partner, Tom Kemmer, is a contractor, my wife Emily does real estate and I come from the entertainment industry, so we combined all of our forces to make this happen and bring our idea to life. It's kind of crazy that Fargo-Moorhead has somehow ended up without a children’s museum. We don't really have anything like this in the area,” Duma said.

“Tom’s a father as well and he’s always been kind of a mentor to me. We both have kids of different age groups, so we have a great in-house research and development department that gets to come in and try everything out. We're making sure everything's safe because we're building it for our own kids. It's been a whole lot of fun and we're really excited to share this with the community.” is aiming for no wasted space!
