The museum was established in 2006 in a store front on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

The museum soon outgrew the location and began looking for a larger space.

In November 2011, after construction delays pushed back the move to a larger space, the museum temporarily moved to University Square.

Then in February 2014, Kidzu reopened in University Place in Chapel Hill.
