Discover Where Imagination Meets Education

At the Santa Cruz Children's Museum of Discovery, play isn't just fun—it's fundamental. Every exhibit, program, and space within our museum has been thoughtfully designed with one powerful principle in mind: creative play is how children truly learn about themselves and the world around them.

 

Step into a vibrant environment where cool colors captivate young minds, intriguing sounds spark curiosity, and quiet nooks invite deeper exploration. Our exhibits seamlessly blend playful experiences with scientific concepts, creating the perfect environment for discovery and growth.

 

Our dedicated staff members are passionate about maximizing every child's visit, ensuring meaningful interactions that foster development through play. From our interactive Tinker Space to our engaging community programs, we've created a world where learning feels like an adventure.
