Description

Spread over 22,000 square feet, the Children's Museum offers kids of all ages a place to explore, discover, and play while learning. There are many types of hands-on exhibits here, and kids can participate in activities such as mountain climbing, learning about different cultures from around the world, or playing with cogs and pulleys to learn about the rules of cause and effect. There is even an area called Discovery Bay that was created especially for the youngest ones in the group. Designed for infants and toddlers, Discovery Bay lets kids explore the underwater world while checking out the fish aquarium and touring a ferry boat. There's so much to see and do here, you'd better plan on blocking out a few hours of your schedule to let the kids roam the Museum.
