What a fantastic museum for kids! The interactive exhibits kept my child fully engaged, and everything felt intentionally designed to support learning through play. The staff were warm, friendly, and engaging from the moment we arrived, which made our first visit especially memorable. We were pleasantly surprised and grateful that our science centre membership was honoured while traveling — it made it so easy to say yes to this visit. Highly recommend for families, whether local or visiting.
I'm not sure why these are called museums but these are great places for kids to come and play and explore a variety of different toys and exhibits. Everything is indoors and there's plenty of staff around to help out and keep things somewhat organized. Depending on when you go it can be a little crowded (with rainy/cold weekend days probably the busiest) but given the fairly large number of areas and some separation of the rooms it naturally divides up the kids a bit. There are several planned activities during the day (like storytime) and a small designated area for under 2 year old kids. There are also 2 art rooms, one with paints, for slightly older kids but be prepared for some mess. There is also a room that can be rented for birthdays or other events. I really like that there are plenty of places for adults to sit and watch if their kid finds something to keep them occupied for a bit. Parking is easy and the location is easy to get to right off of Hwy 50. Overall I'd say this is suitable mostly for kids under 10. There are a lot of active kids running around so little ones will need to watch out a bit but that's true of any playground. Definitely worth the money for a day trip or membership if you're in the area.
Awesomely fun visit with 6yo & 8yo! Wasn't too busy and the kids were entertained for over 2hrs. I had to gently pull them away as they were still playing. Other parents were attentive, the whole place was clean, a great place.
One of the nicest and cleanest places in Sacramento for little kids. It’s huge. There’s a lot to do and the place is very clean and well maintained. Def recommend for the little kiddos
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Sacramento Children’s Museum is a gem! My kids absolutely love it here – there’s always so much to do, learn, and explore. We can easily spend hours playing, and I love that it’s such a safe and welcoming environment. It’s the perfect spot for hands-on fun and endless entertainment for little ones. Highly recommend for families! They also participate in museums for all!!!!
