Southern California Children's Museum

Great place for toddlers. As pointed out by many other reviews, lots of opportunities for interaction and play. Wouldn't recommend for kids or than 4 or 5, but anyone younger than that will have a great time. Of there are more adults together with the kid, or can get price very fast. My suggestion is to plan to take the kid on a day/time that just one person is taking care of them.

This is not a museum in any sense. It is an indoor playground. $10/visitor. If the weather is nice outdoor playground is a better alternative. We went here only because it was raining cats and dogs. Speaking of which, the roof of this building needs work as it was leaking at several spots.

November 28 at 1: 30pm I brought my 2 kids to Southern California children museum I learned that this museum is more built for toddlers through 5 years old the staff wasn't very interactive with the customers the staff was okay but not very friendly parking is in a small alley way and it's free to park

My child really loves playing in every section of the play space, and can stay here far longer than other play spaces or parks.

The name is misleading, but it ts a great spot to waste a morning when you don’t have a plan.

Can’t give five stars because the heating and cooling isn’t adequate.

Great place to take kids. They have some interesting activities such as learning how secondary colors are formed using primary colors

Great space for toddlers, not crowded at all. Friendly staff, very relaxing

Nursing nap room too

Spacious parking out back

Cool little place for kids to play, can also have parties here for them as well. Not open for very many hours, they close early around 3: 30pm on Saturday. Get here early.

Today was over 100F. The AC could not handle it and the crowd inside. There is enough variety for most toddlers. I think I was expecting more. So I, as an adult, would consider it average as far as a children’s Museum goes. Toddlers will find it fun. A place of last resort.

This place is perfect for my toddler. There’s plenty to explore and it’s not very busy during weekdays (not sure about summer holidays though). We also love the story times, craft stations and bilingual story times. Parking is easy (lot entrance is off of Los Robles). Changing tables in the bathroom for those who need it and there’s also a cute nursing room if you prefer not to nurse in public. Bring your own reusable water bottles because they have a hydration station you can use to refill bottles. Check their site for hours before you visit - it’s not the same everyday.

Love this museum for kids! They have so many activities and events around the year. The staff is really sweet. I was invited to present Indian dance here recently and would definitely come back with my students. Highly recommend checking this out with your little ones.

My son enjoyed the environment. For me, it is out dated especially considering Kid Space is a mile away. The owners/ investors/ donors definitely need to reinvest in this museum. The staff members were very pleasant and helpful.

Incredible spot right near downtown Pasadena. The play areas are adorable and remind me of a mini version of the Bay Area Discovery Museum in NorCal. Perfect for toddlers and early elementary kids. Lots of imaginary play areas that really engage kids and a very reasonable admission fee of $8. Great covid awareness and nearly every adult wore masks. Couldn’t ask for anything more!

My daughter loves this place! It’s the perfect size. Lots to do but small enough that I can always see where she is. It’s clean and the people who work there are very friendly. Highly recommend!

I was about to write a good review on this museum but then they kicked us out at noon. We asked why and the answer was because of the pandemic. Wait, what? What does pandemic has to do with closing the place really early I asked. And the (stupid) answer was that the board of directors decided this to limit the crowd. What does closing at noon has anything to do with limiting crowd as they don't limit the number of people entering earlier? So to summarize, the place is nice for toddlers but their operating hours are ridiculous.

My 3 y/o daughter and I had a blast. For being a Friday afternoon, it was not crowded. She had endless fun and we can't wait to come back. Much thanks to the friendly staff.

Wonderful space for young children, their 10 visit pass is a great deal. It’s especially nice to have a indoor space nearby when it’s really hot outside. It’s very clean and the staff is always friendly, they also have a designated nursing room and changing table. On Saturday afternoons they have a sing along with instruments that the kids love.

4.5 stars. Cute place with interactive activities for kids. It will be better when covid hopefully subsides completely. Kids had fun pretending to cook, color, climb, pretend to surf or fish, race cars, do a puppet show etc. Cool spot for a couple hours and educational too. Check theor schedule for their story time and Athens and crafts.

My kids and I LOVE this place! It is so open (high ceilings) plenty of space for kids to run around and have fun! Love their new playground and displays especially the camping area! My boys had a blast! The staff is so friendly and interactive with my kids! Thank you so much. We will definitely be returning soon.

The kids had a great time. I only have one critique, the museum has to update their current exhibit info. Many of the exhibits that were pictured, were no longer in the museum. Some what disappointing.

Place Is full of amazing kids play stuff. Kids get to run and play all around. There's so much they can do. It's never ending
