Cayton Children's Museum

fantastic, hands-on space for kids to explore, play, and learn. With interactive exhibits focused on creativity, imagination, and social responsibility, it’s perfect for young children. The indoor setting makes it great for any weather, and staff are friendly and engaging. A great spot for a fun and educational outing!

Perfect place for little movers! The museum is sensory oriented, play-based and a safe place to explore. I didn’t make a reservation and waited an hour to enter. Next time I’ll make a reservation or go on a day that’s not a federal holiday. They have a bag check for security and you walk through a metal detector, a quick and easy process that makes you feel secured. Your stamp on the hand is good until the end of the day when they close at 5 so you can leave and come back in. There’s something for everyone. My toddler loved building out train tracks, crawling through the ceiling nets and jumping into the ball pit. I am excited to take him back as he grows and becomes more interested in other offerings such as their art classes. A great place for a play date with friends that have kids too!

Was a bit surprised there was an entrance fee. In UK, museums are always tax funded. But it was a magical experience for the little one. Not over crowded and lots of great play to emerge themselves in.

Asome experience I was there with my 3 kids of 8, 3 and 1 year old and they had a wonderful time

Great venue for kids! We just flew in for a short vacation and this was a great option in the late afternoon with plenty of activity areas for kids 2-around 10yo. There's an infant area as well. Our little one refused to leave when time was up! It's a great option if you have Santa Monica beach on the itinerary on the same day. Pretty relaxing and air conditioned for the parents too. Thumbs up!

The Cayton Children's Museum is FABULOUS!! The staff is awesome. It is a gift to children and their families. The child focused, facility design provides a safe, clean & fun environment for play and exploration. The staff led activities are wonderful. You can make a day of it. Arrive at 11 am, stay a few hours then go out for lunch and go back without charge. Children meet and bond while exploring This is just a wonderful faculty with a fabulous staff!!

Beautiful space for children to play — SO MUCH to do and see! My three toddlers love it. The helicopter, ball pit with boat, and fire engine are big hits!

First time. Love that it was free for WIC or Medi-Cal holders. Wish the areas were governed better. Was there with my 13mo. His first time to a park/play situation with so many children. The "baby" area was nice until some parents allowed their older children to come in and roughouse. We moved to another area and tried that. It was crowded. I came by with an hour and a half till closing, thinking it would be less. I'll have to try it again during the week when there are less people for a more accurate review.
