Located in Pasadena in the greater Los Angeles area, Kidspace Children's Museum offers hands-on indoor and outdoor play spaces designed for active discovery. Children can explore physics exhibits and indoor climbing spaces before heading outside to enjoy nature trails, art creation, and water play. It provides an engaging, family-friendly environment that fosters creativity and curiosity in kids of all ages.

History

Established in 1979 at the California Institute of Technology, the museum has evolved and expanded over the years. In 2004, it moved to its current location in the historic Fannie Morrison Horticultural Center.

Quick tip: Reserve your tickets online in advance and bring a towel or change of clothes since children frequently play in the outdoor stream.

Expert notes

  • Wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty.
  • Bring a change of clothes for kids, as water play is a part of the experience.
