A new children’s museum, Ready. Set. Pretend!, is set to open later this year in Strasburg at 300 Historic Drive. The museum will occupy a spacious 7,600-square-foot facility previously home to Wiley’s Pharmacy, which closed in 2022.
The museum promises a variety of engaging attractions for kids, including:

- Various pretend shops
- A “hospital nursery” where children can care for stuffed animals
