The Children’s Museum of Sonoma County inspires curiosity and creativity through joyful, transformative experiences. 

“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”
Fred Rogers

Children’s Museums are places where families connect in meaningful ways. 

The Children’s Museum is an amazing place for grown-ups and kids alike. Nothing brings more smiles to our day than to announce it’s a Children’s Museum day. I feel great about the freedom of letting my children run free, discover, and explore: every visit is an enriching experience. We cherish the opportunity to have fun together as a family.
– Alma Magallon

“From our first visit we’ve been hooked on the Children’s Museum of Sonoma County. Watching our little one explore and learn while also providing us a safe space to connect with other parents; moreover, as a three-generational household, it has offered a place for grandma and grandpa to create new memories with their grandchild. Finally, with only one of us working and income very tight, we have only been able to access this amazing place because of the reduced-cost Access Membership the Children’s Museum has provided. I can’t imagine where we would be as a family without this amazing resource. I urge you to please support relief funding for Children’s Museum of Sonoma County.”

-Kevin, Father of three-year-old child
