Children's Museum at La Habra453

Dramatic play rules the day at the Children's Museum at La Habra. Set up in a 1923 railroad station, this Orange County kiddie treasure invites children to dress up and act like grown-ups with eight different activities. Kids can look at dinosaur bones in a sandbox exhibit called Dino Dig, or check out their own inner workings with Stuffee, a big stuffed figure that can be unzipped to reveal a heart, lungs, and internal organs. Other highlights include the Bee Observatory's live beehive (behind glass, so there's no danger of stings), the Kids On Stage Theater's costumes and props, and the Mini Market's simulated shopping experience. The Nature Walk represents a small natural history museum with its taxidermied animals. A Preschool Playpark has several activities for the birth to 5 set, with toys and unique climbing structures. The museum also does birthday parties. For $200, you can have up to 25 guests, cake, juice, one hour on the museum floor, and free cleanup. Additional guests cost $6 per person, with a 35 guest maximum.
