The Santa Cruz Children’s Museum of Discovery, Capitola CA

We always have a blast here! Our 2.5 year old loves all the exhibits, and talks about them, wanting to come back. Our membership was totally worth it.

My son loves this place there is different areas to learn from and sometimes have special events

Great place for young kids. Lots of activities to stimulate their minds and motivate movement. It's a little bit expensive, but worth it.

A great place. Full of the curious wonderment of small children, guided by caring parents. Plenty of "hands on" work for any todler. And lots of seating for the watchers. A clean and we'll lighted place for kids to learn.

We love this place! Planning on having my daughter's birthday party here soon too! Plenty of activities to do here and they keep the facility clean. It's in the Capitola Mall so you can get your shopping done before or after playtime!

Wonderful place for children with great play areas of different types, based around science and play

Wholesome, educational fun for kids! Seems to be the most fun for kids under 7-8, but it really depends on the kid.

We go here frequently and have for years. Staff members are always so wonderful and friendly. There are many fun areas for children, including a baby area (where my now 4 year old started!). A local gem- do support them, because they do it for you!

Small but educational place to spend with your kids. The entrance fees are 8 for adults and 5 for kids above 1.

A fun place for young children. My 3 year old granddaughter can spend hours there. Annual family membership is very reasonable.

Recommend for children for sure. Must learn everything in this generation i recommend this to adults too

Awesome place to take the kids. The staff is suoer friendly and interact with the kids. My kids love this place and never want to leave. There are a lot of things to play with, perfect for young kids to older kids.

Great place to stop by and spend a couple hours with small kids. A few rooms with different activities, best for toddlers to explore, there's an area for little crawlers to roam around.

It seems like a cool place however it's pretty steep to ask for parents to pay full price for both them self and their kids. Usually you just pay for the kids in places similar I go to. It adds up really fast and makes me not want to go as often as I probably want to.

I brought my 11 month old and he loved it. It's very clean and staff is friendly. Will definitely be bringing him here again ️

Very cool and fun place for kids and a great way to interact, play, and teach them all at the same time.

Great fun for younger kids. The exhibits are always changing. The kids really like the "Pizza My Heart" kitchen area where they can pretend to run their own restaurant.

Lots of interactions to enjoy for young children. Grandson enjoyed the 5 tables of trains. Granddaughter spent time with the doll house. Both enjoyed racing the cars.

I've been to a number of children's museums and I think this one is the best one I've seen so far. Lots of different little themed areas with plenty of seating for parents. Great layout.

Pros:
Want your kids to learn and play, well this is the right place to take them. They have a wide variety of hands on activities for kids of all ages. Even though there are many kids the place stays fairly clean. They host open house events and distribute free annual passes through other organizations.

Cons:
It can get crowed once in a while, and when it does kids can get out of nad. Parents are suppose to stay with their children but I have noticed parents leaving their children unattended.
