The TOTopia exhibit area at the Children's Museum of Sonoma County

The Serenity Room: A Peaceful Space for Families

♥ Sponsored by Kaiser Permanente

We’re thrilled to introduce a new addition to the Children’s Museum of Sonoma County: the Serenity Room, generously sponsored by Kaiser Permanente!

Opening in Spring 2026, the Serenity Room is a dedicated, welcoming space designed for nursing caregivers, bottle-feeding, and children who may need a moment of calm during their visit. Just steps away from TOTopia—our beloved exhibit for infants and toddlers—this new room offers comfort, privacy, and quiet for families when they need it most.

What is the Serenity Room?

The Serenity Room is a space that highlights the Museum’s commitment to caregiver support, early childhood wellness, and inclusion. Here, families can take a break from the excitement of the Museum to:

  • Nurse or bottle-feed their child
  • Express milk in a quiet, private space
  • Soothe an overstimulated child
  • Recharge before heading back out to play

This space was thoughtfully designed with input from healthcare professionals and caregivers to support the real needs of families with young children.

“The Children’s Museum is excited to partner with Kaiser Permanente to improve the well-being of thousands of Museum visitors annually and demonstrate our shared commitment to maternal health and child development.”
Collette Michaud, Founder & CEO

A Sneak Peek This October

While the permanent Serenity Room is under construction, families can get an early look at what’s to come during our FUNtazmagoria event in October 2025! Visit the Kaiser Permanente Family Support Tent, a cozy pop-up version of the Serenity Room, featuring:

  • Comfortable seating for feeding and nursing
  • A calming space for little ones

Whether you’re visiting with an infant, a toddler, or a child who just needs a sensory break, the Serenity Room will be here to support your journey through the Museum.

Come explore, play, and rest—all in one place.
