Description
Two floors worth of exhibits and activities include a history of bubbles, a maze, face painting and all sorts of things to keep children busy and thinking. The museum is a giant, jagged purple building straddling Guadalupe River Park, so picnics are a common plan for visitors. CDM is right on the light rail station, which makes public transportation a snap. The museum offers facilities for birthday parties and special events. There is also a reasonably priced store with games, books and toys.
