Zimmer Children's Museum554

The mission of the Zimmer Children's Museum is to provide interactive learning opportunities for children and families that incorporate core Jewish values and traditions and that encourage visitors from varied backgrounds to discover shared ideals.

Museum highlights include a Main Street play space; a play airplane equipped with navigational tools, an electronic control panel, and flight simulation; and the blue-screen technology powered Mann Theater. Lots of fun on rainy days, or even sunny ones!

Children ages three to seven particularly respond to the "please touch" exhibits, while pre-teens and teens participate in leadership training and community service opportunities. The Museum welcomes young adults and seniors as docents.

Birthday parties can be held in the museum on Sundays or Fridays. A Sunday celebration runs from 10am to 12 noon and includes visiting the museum exhibitions, a specially designed arts & crafts activity, and a private room. The party host is responsible for bringing paper goods and kosher food. These parties cost $600 for up to 80 guests; a fee of $12 is added for each additional person.

Friday parties run from 1:30pm to 3:30pm, do not include an art project, and cost $300.

Parties should be booked six months in advance by calling 323.761.8994.
