About The New Children's Museum

Formerly the Children's Museum/Museo de los Ninos San Diego, The New Children's Museum continues its tradition of providing dynamic, playful, and hands-on exhibits and studios, along with art classes and tons of activities designed to inspire kids to think, create, and play.

The Museum's new environmentally sustainable home is one of the first "green" museums in California. In addition to art galleries and hands-on studios, the new three-story building also includes an adjacent public park, education center, birthday party rooms, retail store and a cafe.

The museum offers a Target Free Sunday for Families on the second Sunday of each month.

    Being a military family we have had a chance to visit children's museums in several states and this is by far the least entertaining and most expensive. The only room the kids really enjoyed was the mattress room and it wasn't worth the admission for just that. The science center at Balboa is a much better choice.

    My daughter just completed Toy Doctor camp at the new Children's Museum and I couldn't be more thrilled. Not only did my daughter have a chance to be both thoughtful and creative, she learned about the importance of repurposing materials. This is by far the best camp she's attended all summer!

    We joined and have been many times to the museum with our three children. My kids are constantly asking to go back. They love the art projects, the climbing wall and, of course, the pillow room! It is a unique place in the world and we're so lucky that its here!
