Children's Creativity Museum

While the staff is super nice. The museum is just ok. Almost seems like a scam charging adults 20 dollars a piece too. Not that much to do. My kids felt a bit bored. The one in San Jose is the best. Santa Rosa one is amazing too. This was by far the smallest one we’ve been too with way less to offer and pricey too.

Such a wonderful and fun experience for our kiddos (7,6,&4) on our visit to San Francisco! They completely loved all of the activities. So much variety and so many things to do to get the creative sides of their brains thinking. Staff was just awesome. Kind and friendly and very welcoming! They made it even better. Restrooms were clean as was the rest of the museum. You can tell they take cleanliness seriously. The best part for us was military families get in for free! Never expected but △⃒⃘lways appreciated!

We’ve been here a few times and there’s still so much for us to explore. This is a fully hands-on experience for kids to create. Amazing Lego area where you can build and make stop motion animations of your models. Sound booths where you can make and record music. There’s an exhibit on the ground floor where you create flowers on a touch screen and you can add them to a huge animated garden that is projected onto the walls. As a parent I’ve had some really relaxing times in this particular exhibit, it’s a calming space. Staff are really kind and friendly making for an overall pleasant experience. And kids can meet other kids and play and create things together in a safe, beautiful environment.

It's very small. This is an ideal place for kids below 10 years. It has Lego animation place where you can create your own Lego creation and do the animation with iPads provided. We can also email our creation. Kids enjoyed this place. The flower creation on the down floor was amazing. We create a flower and that appears on the screen. We can create our music and listen to it. Other scientific things are also amazing for kids. The park also has bowling, carousel, ice skating and kids play area. Some kind of rally was going on when we visited, so we parked 1.5 miles away and walked there. But we can park in near by garages or street parking. It has wheel chair accessibility and bathrooms on each level. The staff are very friendly.

The perfect place to be a kid. The museum has many workshops for children to explore. You can draw, paint, read, build, and create amazing arts and crafts. Maybe one day they will be part of the museum’s collection.

We stumbled upon the museum while looking for things to do on our very last day in San Francisco before flying out in the evening and I’m soo glad we did!! My kids were some of the oldest there and enjoyed all activities geared toward kids above preschool age. There were multiple floors available for exploring with STEAM activities across the board. Huge thank you to the staff who spent over 2 working on a stop-motion Lego video with my daughter - you are a blessing!

The Children’s Creativity Museum in Yerba Buena, San Francisco, is an interactive and imaginative space that’s perfect for kids and families. It offers a variety of hands-on activities that spark creativity, from creating clay animation movies to exploring music and design in its innovation lab. The exhibits are thoughtfully designed for children aged 2-12, with activities that encourage collaboration, problem-solving, and self-expression. Highlights include the Animation Studio, where kids can bring their ideas to life, and the Tech Lab, which introduces them to coding and robotics in a fun, approachable way. Parents will appreciate the safe, inclusive environment, and the museum’s central location in Yerba Buena Gardens makes it easy to pair with other attractions, like the carousel or a picnic in the park. Overall, it’s an inspiring and educational destination that combines fun with learning, making it a must-visit spot for families in San Francisco. It’s recommended to reserve tickets online, especially during weekends and holidays, as it can get busy. P.S: our favorite was the misters box and the painting area

Recommended age group- 2-12 years Ticket Price- $12.95 for adults as well as kids Carousel regular ticket price -$4 per person. Money Saving Tip # 1 - If you have another Bay Area Museum’s yearly membership card, carry it with you. If it falls under their network, you get 50% off on your ticket price for all members. Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose is in their network for sure. That’s the card I used for my discounted tickets. Money Saving Tip # 2- Do not buy the carousel ticket directly outside. Go inside the museum, buy your entry ticket and get $1 off per carousel ticket. Timing: The museum shut at 4 pm on Sunday (when we visited) but the carousel ride shut down at 5 pm. Walking distance from Powell BART station- 6 minutes Creativity and Innovation galore: From making an animation video with our clay and wire models to animating paper cutouts, from solving the mystery box challenge and building something interesting to making robots demolish and draw....we loved it all! Our favorite activity: It was surely the one next to the entrance. We colored and scanned our pictures. They were dropped on to a gigantic screen and came to life. Loved it! This place is full of innovative, interesting and fun activities for parents and kids. Must visit in San Francisco.
