Kidspace Children's Museum

This was very fun for my daughter. She loved every moment. There's a stream of water with a path of stones you can walk on. It is highly recommended to wear shoes but I did see a few adults with their kids with no shoes and my daughter took hers off as well as I and it was an awesome feeling of having the water run down your feet and trust me it's not at all gross because you smell chlorine in there so I thought that was pretty clever even though it's not a pool. I recommend this place for little ones especially around 7 and down. And don't forget to take them to the ant tunnel all those kids love it!

This place is Amazing for the little one’s, it is literally made for the kid with endless energy. It’s a kids world! They can climb, get wet, ride bikes, spin on objects, camp and so much more! All you have to do have the energy to follow your kid around because they are going to be going all over the place. It’s closed off, so there is no way for your kid to escape. They also have Amazing food and of course souvenirs. Tickets are $15.50 for adults and children 1 through 17. So if you are ever in the Pasadena, CA area, and have little one’s. This is a great place to t tire them out and then have a parent’s night out while they go to sleep early!

Wow! This is a fantastic children's museum. Plethora of activities for kids that stimulates them intellectually (science and art) and physically (bikes, climbing, etc.). There is also programming (I E. sing along music was great with interactive individual drums). There is shade throughout the park and outdoor water activities on the hot days with AC indoors. Great selection of healthy food for a reasonable price at the snack bar. Plenty of parking available (assuming there is no events happening). Highly recommend this for at least one visit.

I do not have children, but I was very curious as to why so many people take their children to this place, so I went in to check it out. And there were AWESOME things for kids to learn and achieve. So I gave it all five points. YAY!!!/

Suitable for all ages of kids as long as they are mobile. My son had so much fun there. He’s 1year8months old.

This place is great for children. Everything here is pretty much hands-on. The kids have a big assortment of attractions to engage in and play with, all with a lesson in science, physics, etc... There is a food area to purchase lunch, dining areas, a small stream for the children to play in, and a souvenir shop. Now, the food and the souvenirs are pricey for the quality of the items, but not necessary to enjoy the day with your child or children. Bring sunblock, as the entire facility is outdoors! (The spider pictured was seen in one of the dressing booths near the stream lol)

Such a wonderful day we spent here last week! I took my stepson who is 9 and hard of hearing and he thoroughly enjoyed the Polynesian music and dance show, playing in the creek, the climbing structures and arts and crafts room! Your child(ren) will enjoy Kidspace for many hours. Open until 8pm (please confirm). Also there is a great shop and food & beverages.

Cashless ticketing, concessions and gift shop! You must bring a card. We went during the butterfly event and there was a beautiful mobile inside. In addition to a variety of hands on science apparatus they had plenty of gross motor opportunities. There was art, imagination play, engineering. We especially enjoyed the flowing river to cool off. I loved the selection of healthy kids friendly options at the restaurant. 10 Stars, or time for by, the price was very enjoyable and my kid joyously participated in everything they had to offer. Lots of adaptive equipment for different abilities and participation levels.

What a cool place to spend the day with family! We came right as they opened for the Halloween event, and the parking lot was already packed! We stayed for about 3 hours, but definitely did not get to play with everything they offered. My kids really enjoyed the potion making and monster craft making activities during halloween. They had this pretty awesome "river" like area outside, where kids were walking and splashing around, along with several sand areas too. It's definitely a good idea to bring an extra change of clothes for them afterwards. There was also an indoor play area where kids could dig for fossils, climb, and play with various building toys. We'll be back for the future events and to play in the sections we didn't have time for today.

I recently took my nephew to Kidspace Museum for the first time, and we both had a fantastic experience. The museum offers a wide range of interactive exhibits that really sparked my nephew's curiosity. He loved exploring the different hands-on activities, from science experiments to outdoor play areas. It was a great way to keep him engaged and learning while having fun. One perk was the free parking, but it was completely overshadowed by the chaos of the Rose Bowl Flea Market happening nearby. The area was infested with people, making it super chaotic and difficult to navigate. Additionally, the food at the museum was mediocre, and the coffee was awful. Despite these setbacks, the overall experience was memorable, and I'd still highly recommend it for families looking for a fun and educational outing!

Just threw a birthday party for my son at Kidspace Museum. We rented the Celebration room which is capped at 50 guests (adults and kids) for 2 hours. It's great because all party guests are welcomed to stay the whole day regardless of what time your party is. We had our guests come a couple hours earlier so that the kids could have plenty of time looking around...as there is SO much to see and do. The room itself was a lot bigger than we had anticipated so our decorations were a bit "small". The staff were super nice and helpful from the time we arrived until we left. The room came with 2 sinks (with soap and napkins- perfect for kids to wash up before eating). There were plenty of kid-sized tables and chairs as well as for adults. It was a nice, big room with A/C. Perfect for a hot day. They also allow outside food and help with clean up- which was great!! I highly recommend hosting a party here for the little ones.

Five stars, I took the newly minted toddler grandson and we skipped his size dedicated space and went straight for anything that had big kids. We got there at ten on Saturday morning and it wasn't crowded. By the time we left the kids were pouring in. Even in mid November there was outside water play so bro g some dry clothes. We will Be back

This has been one of our absolute favorite places to bring our kids. It's one of the few stress free activities we do because at Kidspace kids are allowed to be kids. I don't worry about them climbing, exploring or running around from one activity to another. We have been members for 3 years and each year it has been fun to watch them change over exhibits throughout the seasons. Don't miss butterfly season, it's a favorite!

If you have little one(s) (about 6 and younger), this place is great to visit because this is a spacious outdoor play space with one building of indoor activities. There are plenty of things to do and spread out and not feel on top of one another. On the day we went (Sunday) it did get quite busy, but I saw lots of people coming and going, mostly because when you have little ones, once they melt down, it is time to go. My 2-year old loved the biking activity, the campfire, and all the play spaces in the back with all the shade (it was quite hot the day we went). My 6 and 8-year old enjoyed the indoor play space and arts and crafts area. *best to bring snacks and food. They do allow you to do that *strollers aren't great here because of the larger mulch areas and steps leading to other areas. *there was a refillable water station *clean restrooms and friendly staff *you can re-enter the same day if you need, just get a wristband at the front

I don't wanna grow up, cause baby if I did I couldn't be a Kidspace kid Came here after seeing another Yelper's review. Glad we did! Signed for the yearly membership since the kids really enjoyed it. Even on a crowded day there is so much to do. The kids didn't do everything but we will be back plenty for them to do whatever their little heart desires. Staff is very friendly, from the time we signed up to the gift shop at the end (thank you for saving the unicorn as my daughter left it on the little camp site). Never knew this place was here as I've gone to the Rose Bowl for UCLA games and soccer matches. Literally right across the street it's awesome! Plenty of parking all around. You can take in food and water, or buy from Bean Sprout on site. There is an area for indoor activities but the majority is outdoors so wear sunblock unless you like to get extra crispy. Bring extra clothes, in case your kid wants to get wet. Especially with the heat coming all the kids will be in the water areas. There's nice picnic areas to sit and eat in between activities. There are changing tables as well and a hand wash station near the top. Check out the benefits of membership, we found it useful as our kids love anything hands on. If you go on a busy day be ready for a lot of kids. Be patient little ones everywhere as far as the eye can see. You could just hear the little tired screams as some kid were due for their snack and naps. We spent around 3-1/2 hours there, and the kids knocked out as soon as they were buckled in for the drive. Thank you Kidspace!

This was my toddlers first time and she enjoyed it. My last time visiting was pre covid. I feel like they had better things inside to do. They used to have a free digital photobooth that's no longer there. Still a good place to visit with younger children and toddlers. They do have an area outside that kids can walk in the water. So bring water shoes and a hat to block the sun.

I didn't go inside as I had my four legged child with me. But we did get great photos right out front. The children leaving seemed to have had a good visit. Plenty of (free) parking in lot at Brookside Park.

Warning: Your kids will get really, really dirty here. I was blown away by the offerings at Kidspace. I even considered getting a membership, even though it's about an hour away from us. If I was local, I would do it in a heartbeat. We didn't even experience all the different exhibits because we ran out of time. Highlights for the kids: the ant cave/trail/tree, the dinosaur jeep/dig, the outdoor car track, the farm/farmer's market, the camping area, and the fishing boat. My kids were not impressed at all with the creek and wading area, which was okay with me. Lol. They got really dirty in the farm area from the sand and dirt, and then their feet turned blue from the blue sand around the boat. We could have stayed here an entire day, and I completely recommend this "museum."

We LOVE this place. Plenty of creative things to do. It's rough on the weekends. Most of the staff is really great and interactive. I only voice my complaints so that others can prepare for these things. The water area/river seems like an afterthought. Surrounded by wood chips - whether u have shoes or not - they will get stuck to whatever is wet and often get inside water shoes and cause pain. The river is filled with slippery rocks and really rough concrete that rip up your skin when you fall. The ball shooter is a terrible system. Get ur own ball and get in line. Everyone in the big line has 3-5 balls so if you don't know what is going on - you may wait in a huge line to shoot one ball. It can be pretty cutthroat. The climbing tower can get hot and crowded. The air flow isn't too great at the top. Side suggestion - take a picture of the outside of the tower and also at the very top looking out at where you were standing outside. It's fun to compare :) You kid will want a flashlight i. The ant tunnel. If you don't bring one - ur kid will end up with your phone. It's actually ok because cell phone service blows here. Just don't plan on getting work emails out of the way Not too many shade spots so be ready for one person to take up a bench in the shade and say they have someone with them (which most of my experience is usually a kid that is playing. Maybe people don't want me to sit next to them on the opposite side of the bench. If you see me on a bench - I will always share 2/3 of it) Thank you

A lot of fun for my son and a lot of shaded areas to rest. Don't get the food here. I got a chicken salad sandwich for $11.50 and it was just celery and grapes. I got the do re for me for my son and he was so sad it didn't look like a piano like in the photo. It was just chunk of hard dry crust placed on the top of his sandwich. Come for the kids fun but eat before or after

I came with family from out town. This place was amazing well for my nephew. But I which I had something like this when were growing up. The place has many sections, a lot of outdoor activities so bring water with you. There's also also water playground for the kids, climbing wall, painting class, and sing along activity. Well there's more but that some of the stuff I could remember. The food is pricey since it's all kids sizes. Also wear comfortable shoes because there's a lot of outdoor walking and standing.

I went today as a teacher in Southern California! Made reservations And they block off Mondays for field trips only, so tickets are not sold to the general public. It was nice to know that all the kids are safe and contained. There were plenty of workers monitoring with their purple shirts. They encourage teachers to have students eat outside, and students are welcome to go back in (re-entry is allowed!). The restrooms were clean, there were water stations, and they even sold snacks/food. There's so much to do and see! Perfect for kindergarteners! I would say kids 6 and under would really enjoy this place. There are a lot of benches and tables in front courtyard area. All the kids had a blast!!

First time coming here with my daughter and wife. We were looking for a fun space to explore and let the little one run around and learn. The kidspace children museum is located right by the rose bowl and has plenty of parking in the public lot by the park. The first thing we noticed when we walked in was how similar it looked to the Moxi museum in Santa Barbara. It had so many different learning activities that taught physics to natural history (wild life, dinosaurs, etc...). It was an outdoor adventure filled with indoor activities as well from creative play (building tracks and racing cars, to climbing the indoor tree house, riding a toyota truck to the big dinosaur excavation, to indoor craft activities guided by the wonderful crew at kidspace. Outdoors you had the ball launch, seated pulley pull, lever tug of war, ice block building, ice fishing, tricycle racing, tricycle riding, water table, on the ground level. If you go further up you have a sand pit, a outdoor children play market garden, water play area (bring change of clothes for you and the little one if you plan to play), mini rock wall, to a giant tree house like structure. All accessible walkway for strollers, and steps by foot. This was such a fun place to come to and will definitely be back to have play dates with the little one and with friends. They did have the sock ice skating event (additional $5 on top of admissions price) that started on Friday. We considered it but decided our daughter might not be ready for it yet. Will do it in the future. The reason for the deduction in a star was unlike the Moxi museum where kids under 3 years of age are free but 3 and above is $14 and $18 for 13 years and older. At kidspace its $15.xx for adults and kids 1 and over. I think getting a membership would definitely be worth while after seeing that there are other places your membership allows you to visit, and surprise the Moxi museum in SB is one of them. Will definitely get an annual membership for our next trip. Highly recommend if you have kids and definitely consider annual membership.

We had an absolute blast at Kidspace! From the moment we walked in, the vibrant colors and playful exhibits captured my grandson imagination. He loved the interactive science station and the art corner was a hit! The staff were super friendly and always ready to help. Can't wait to visit again--there's so much more to explore!

We LOVE coming here. It's been our default get-out-of-the-house escape. Their seasonal activities are so fun and cute. I'm always amazed by the creativity and thoughtfulness behind each setup. There's a great variety of activities so there is always something for everyone, including the older kids. Since most of their activities are outdoors, hot summers can be a bit brutal. I'd suggest going in the morning. Pack a lot of snacks and water for yourself and the kids. All the running around can wear you down! Also pack extra clothes and water shoes on the warmer days for water play. There is a small playground in front of Kidspace the kids can enjoy. This is not affiliated with Kidspace so it's free. There is plenty of parking.

Took my daughter and sister here to enjoy a nice Saturday. My kiddo had an amazing time. She loved all the activities and was quite active for a good 5-6 hours. Tickets are very inexpensive, free parking and they have a good selection of snacks and food to choose from in their onsite cafe. Will absolutely come back!

Amazing place. A lot of activities for kids. Very hot in summer. Very crowded. Nice place to go

This museum is located In rose bowl next to brookside park I'm in love, every detail and Activities are so nice and fun My toddler had an amazing time.. didn't know this museum existed until I went to The park next to it.. this museum have a lot of activities To keep your toddler busy and playing all day long After the visit my toddler took a big nap You can bring stroller, snacks And you should bring towel and extra clothes because they have a river where they can play and splash Love this place and really recommend to toddler moms That want their kids burnt calories and make them tired lol and happy obviously haha

The check in was fast, inside was clean, great activities for kids, the place serving food not to organized run out of everything by 3 pm closing at 5

Took my six-year old son here for his birthday, and had a great time. He was overwhelmed with all the cool stuff this place had to offer. It's like a camp-themed science lab/playground. Most of the activities are outside but there are indoor activities as well. Parking is free and there are plenty as it shares the same parking lot as Rose Bowl. My navigation was spot on and got me to turn into the aisle closest to the museum. Don't remember the exact names but my son's favorites were Trike Track, Bottle Blaster, and air cannon (I think). There are some play areas with water so I suggest bringing change of clothes and shoes if you plan to play in those areas. Food option is limited to Beansprouts Cafe so you may want to bring some snacks as well. It just has basic stuff like pizza and sandwiches. There was a food truck at the time of our visit but didn't look that interesting. There's also a huge park with a playground outside the museum. Tickets are purchased through a QR code. There isn't anyone issuing tickets at the front. We purchased about hour in advance of arrival through its website. Not sure why tickets are time specific. It comes in 30 minute increments between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. We purchased the 11:30 a.m. time slot but arrived about 15 minutes early and was still able to get in. Wouldn't mind purchasing annual membership if this place was closer.

When you are looking for something to do with your kids, this is it. Hours of entertainment, mostly outdoors. When you first walk in, you have to go through a water tunnel. Then you end up in a courtyard that has motion operated water fountains. After that: the choice is yours. There are so many options. You can spend some time indoors in the butterfly room and read some stories and sing songs. Or you can play in the pretend kitchen or other indoor play areas. My favorite part is out in the back they have terraced the hillside to have a waterfall and various outdoor activities such as climbing or playing with water or camping or farmers market or even rock climbing. There's so much to do. It's super fun and the kids leave tired. Also worth mentioning all the staff is SUPER nice.

So I love telling other parents how fantastic this place is and this little voice inside selfishly shouts on the inside to keep this gem to myself. I mean on weekends it's chaotic we prefer weekdays when it's much more relaxed. However, I ignore the selfish little voice and tell parents anyway because that's how I heard about it. It's so educational and fun. My child loves going and pretty much demands we stay until closing. We got the membership which is reasonable and you can put your first visits admission towards a membership. The staff is so patient and friendly with everyone. I try to go at least once a month if not more and my little one is never bored. We look forward to summer so she can once again splash away in the arroyo! One of the best kept secrets in Pasadena. Oh and did I mention you don't have to pay for parking? So pack some snacks and sunscreen and head to kidspace; the kids will thank you!

Thrilled to finally boost Kids Place, we drove from Santa Monica, and our 4-year-old had an absolute blast! This museum is a treasure trove for little ones, with interactive wonders around every corner. The 'farmers market' was a hit, with everything so lifelike! Free and hassle-free parking, plus the friendly and helpful staff, made our visit even more enjoyable. You'll need more than a day to uncover all the exciting activities - well worth the drive from Santa Monica!

Hard to think of anything bad to say about this place. Most of the activities are outdoors, so can be challenging for weather reasons. Creative, interactive, educational stations that the kids enjoyed. There's a little stream area where kids can walk through (although I'm not sure whether it's technically allowed or not), water / sand area, as well as a splash area, so bring an extra set of clothes if your kid plans to partake. I would say this is probably one of the best Children's museum in the LA area.

Kidspace Children's Museum in Santa Monica is fantastic! My kids had so much fun exploring the interactive exhibits and engaging in hands-on activities. The museum is well-organized and clean, with friendly staff who enhance the experience. It's a great spot for both learning and play, and my kids left with big smiles. Highly recommend for a fun and educational outing!

I highly recommend this museum for children. They have a wide range of activities and areas to explore. Some fun things to check out include: an ant hole that you can crawl through, a tree house, a tower to climb, a small river that kids can walk through (bring water clothes), a camping theme area, a blue sand pit, and an outdoor section dedicated to learning about physics. There's a lot of neat stuff to see!

My toddler really enjoyed this place. They have a lot of sensory activities for your little ones. The employees are very friendly and make your little ones feel comfortable and enjoy the fun. They had a small Halloween parade in which they encouraged the kids and parents to be involved with a few props. I probably would take my carrier instead of stroller simply because finding the stroller path was a bit challenging. Overall this was a great experience and would definitely go here again.

Marvelous! Such a fun and interesting place for kids. Lots to do and keep them busy.

This place is so engaging. I took my two and five year old. After four hours of play, there were still tears when it was time to leave. I recommend bringing an extra change of clothes because kids will get soaked and also a lunch with plenty of water. Well worth the hour drive.

Probably the best kid's museum in LA area! I love that it's most outside, offering a lot of options for all ages. We went there both times during winter holidays, and they add a bunch of activities to keep kids occupied and in holiday spirit. My daughter's favorite is sock skating (available late Nov to early Jan). From the regular exhibits, they have Outdoors: hands on physics area, climbing wall and structures, pretend play farmers market and farm, tricycle area for older kids and a second one for tots Indoors: activities rooms for all kids of creative crafts, another huge climbing structure including underground climb, some other building area and nature exploration area There is a cafe on site with very limited menu, but good enough for lunch or snack.

Wow, I cannot believe our luck in stumbling upon this place as an activity to do with our kids on Friday (their school had a staff learning day). Thank you to the wonderful staff who keep this place exciting and organized. There were SO many things to do! We spent 6 hours there from 10am-4pm without leaving. In fact, the kids did not want to leave! The indoor space was nicely AC'd as it was going to be hot. The front yard was well spaced and engaging. The food was great! Our favorite was the back yard. The kids dipped their feet in the flowing stream, created magical potions, played fantastic pretend shops and made friends in the market, pretended to be pirates, fished in the blue sandy waters, and created a bartering system with the newly discovered gems. Then they ended the day climbing the tree house and racing tricycles along the paved pathways. Wish we had a place like this in the Bay and we will definitely be visiting again! Thanks for an incredible memory!

Wow! This is a fantastic children's museum. Plethora of activities for kids that stimulates them intellectually (science and art) and physically (bikes, climbing, etc.). There is also programming (I E. sing along music was great with interactive individual drums). There is shade throughout the park and outdoor water activities on the hot days with AC indoors. Great selection of healthy food for a reasonable price at the snack bar. Plenty of parking available (assuming there is no events happening). Highly recommend this for at least one visit.

We have membership at CuriOdyssey and wanted to take advantage of reciprocity when we came down to LA to visit my husband's parents. One of the places we visited was Kidspace - this place is HUGE! The museum is in a huge park with many other destinations, so parking definitely was not an issue here. The museum has both indoor and (mainly) outdoor exhibits - we started from the "very top," which required us to walk all the up the back hill and work our way back to the entrance. Our kids had so much fun playing with the outdoor exhibits that we decided to skip the indoor structure/exhibits because there were SO many visitors on the day that we were there! This is definitely a nice children's museum that we would love to come back and visit again in the future!

It gets crazy busy here on the weekends. I recommend to arrive when it opens at 10am and you'll have 2 hours to enjoy the activities before it gets hectic or come on a weekday. Admission is pricey at $15.50 per child/adult. I would say that place is geared to 8 and under. Parking is free and there's tons of spaces. This was our second visit here and my 7 year old was done after two hours and wanted to go to the park outside. Some areas were just too busy to enjoy. The facilities are okay/clean considering that this place gets run over by hundreds of kids daily. Some of the soap and antibacterial dispensers didn't work and the indoor play area is just a hot mess because of the sheer numbers of kids. They have an on-site kid friendly restaurant which was reasonably priced and the food was okay.

Visiting some family in the area and needed to kill time with my son. So glad I found this place as my son LOVED it! We came in on a Tuesday around 1130am and it was pretty straightforward and not crowded. Bummed we missed the Halloween parade at 11 but there was still a lot to do. There is a cafe there if you and your little ones are hungry however we had lunch plans later so decided not to purchase anything. My son had fun running around the main courtyard area as there were some pumpkins he enjoyed picking up and moving around and rearranging. We walked inside and my son was thrilled to see a bunch of building blocks (although more advanced-looking things.. think Rube Goldberg) so he was having fun building streets/tunnels/pathways for a ball to roll.. I had to pull him away to see the rest of the museum. He then started climbing on the multi-level plaything but was too scared to go all the way up. The next room had an epic play area with what seemed like desert animals.. Turtles, owls, frogs, different kinds of plants.. he had so much fun having the animals "burrow" as they had toys that resembled an underground burrow. There were different kinds of literature regarding animals of all sorts and of course this was going over my 3 year old's head, but he had so much fun playing doctor with the stuffed animals -- they had tweezers, magnifying glasses, x-rays, a scale.. he was loving it. The piece de resistance for us was the bike/tricycle area in the back. My son had never really been on one before so it was so fun teaching him how to ride a tricycle. They had helmets for the kids too. I think it really helped we came on a weekday in the AM because we pretty much had the bike area to ourselves. After that, my son had a blast hanging out in the area for smaller kids, as they had small cars and bikes to ride around with and he had so much fun with the play gas station. I feel like we only scratched the surface as there were some other areas we didn't really check out since we had lunch plans but would definitely bring my son here again since he LOVED it....

Pros: Great safe attraction for kids that provide an educational experience. Cons: You will be surrounded by kids and have no place to hide. To my surprise there's a playground outside of kidspace Children's Museum. What an awesome feature. It was really helpful to have that or we'd be stuck walking around the place until it opened. What's even cooler is that there's a small kid's (1-3 y/o) playground where everything is made to their size. Pretty cool. We killed a good 20 minutes there easily. In fact when it was time to leave for the actual event, he didn't want to go. We went during one of their winter themes "winter frolic" and the main attraction was their faux ice skating. It's a small fenced off area where the floor is made up of slippery material. You can slide around in your socks. Fun 10 minute thing. Fall on your butt once or twice and the activity will end quicker than you expect. There are so many small activities that makes it easy for your kid to jump around and spaz out. For me there are some standout features for the Kidspace museum. The staff are great. Every attraction that we went to there was a smiley face and a wave. They talked to my kid and waved. There were staff scattered around the museum to be helpful. Truly outstanding. There was this one staff remember that had a hand puppet turtle pretending to eat. My son did a quick interaction with the turtle. "Ahh, the turtle's gonna bite your finger" I said. She said "oh, the turtle probably doesn't like the taste of your finger" as she manniquined the doll's hand and mouth-- very fun. The staff really did make it feel like a magical place. There's a tent area that introduced my son to tents! Simple furniture's like tables, oven, pan. He was really fascinated by that area and played there a lot. What brought value to me is that it opens the door to camping. The seasonal feature blew our minds was the snowmen decoration. At this feature, kids could build their own kid-sized snowmen. The area was magical. The white carpet against the gray asphalt. The Trees around it has some snow on them. There was a cabinet that held a bunch of clothes and buckets full of decorations eyes, noses, mouths, and buttons. It looked like a giant took a ice cream scoop straight out of the mountain and plopped it down at the museum. Overall it was our fist time there together and had a blast. We slayed like 3 hours and the best part was that he napped on the way home.

This is our second time coming here and we recommend it to anyone with young children to come and visit. The water stream area was a great hit and the workers were helpful by interacting with the children when playing at the "farm" or crafting area. You are able to bring your own snacks as well. The restroom and campus is clean and one can see their attention to detail from having stools for children to reach high areas to having low sinks for children to wash their hands, or the cabana room to get dress after being in the water.

We arrived at 2pm on a warm Saturday and had 3 hours of crafts, a show at 3pm, water fun, climbing, and exploring. Not crowded at all. The crafts ran by Michael were catered to young children's fine motor skills and creativity. Michael was super knowledgeable and great with the kids. My kids are 6 and 7 and still enjoy this museum very much.

Always love going out to Kids Space! This time around we went during the butterfly expedition. Though there were a lot of butterfly related kid activities, we were a little bummed we didn't see a single butterflies. Personally the perfect time to go is durning Spring , since everything is full bloom and the smell of flowers encompasses the entire museum. Another thing I simply adore about the museum is the staff who loves their job!!! It's so refreshing to see younger adults working with kids and passing on knowledge . We ended up buying some caterpillars which we grew into our own butterflies... amazing!!!!!! The person at the gift store gave us great 411 in how the caterpillar goes through the process of becoming a beautiful painted lady.... The kids were soooo captivated . Great experience! Would highly recommend a weekday trip ,as it gets super crowded during the weekends.

Easy entry with timed tickets. My children and grandchildren had a blast. So much to do. Hint: the extra charge for sock skating is worth it!

Wonderful vibe for kids 3-11. We enjoyed that it has both indoor and outdoor spaces. Take the drive to Pasadena and enjoy this space!

We had a wonderful experience here during our first visit that we ended up getting a membership. I love that the members-only events start early so my toddler can play to their heart's desire in the morning and not having to worry about skipping a nap. We can't wait to go to other seasonal events.

Great spot to take your kids! Plenty of parking at the Rose Bowl. $15 entry. Book online in advance. Both indoor and outdoor options available. Food also available although we brought our own snacks. Love the water play outside so bring a bathing suit and sandals for your kids. Lots of fun things to climb inside (Plus air conditioning on hot days). Overall great spot and we will be back!

Came here Memorial Day weekend on a Saturday. Opening is the way to go because it gets busy around 11am and stays that way until close. At least there was an hour of decent crowd levels. There's staff in each area. They all seemed engaged and welcoming. Except for the water area in the back. Around lunch time it was difficult to get a table and seats. They definitely need more of that. Not a place for any kids under 3 in my opinion. It's not a museum - it's an indoor play center. The water feature is cool but bring a change of clothes and a bathing suit. Too many kids barefoot, unsafe, going too fast and splashing. There's signs to keep shoes on but no one is enforcing it. I'd come here again when my kid is a bit older like 6 so they're not getting stepped over by some of the bigger kids.

So much fun! We met up for a play date and it did not disappoint. Each of the kiddos were able to find something that they loved to do from building to climbing, to crafts. Even the littles ones had fun crawling around. Favorite areas were the foam building pits, tricycle area, and the wax craft putting a spider together. The food is expensive and takes a while to get, so I recommend either bringing a picnic or having someone order ahead of time. Great space, great activities and great times!

Kidspace Children's Museum is a fantastic spot for a family day out, especially with little ones aged 2 to 11. My 2-year-old had a blast with the ball launcher game - we loved it so much that we queued up for a second round. The "Launch the Rocket" activity added an exciting splash element, perfect for kids who enjoy a bit of water play. Another interesting game was the 2+2 Pulleyes but my kid was a little too scared to play! A tip for fellow visitors: purchasing tickets online in advance is advisable, as this popular spot can fill up quickly, sparing you the hassle of waiting outside. With its engaging activities and thoughtful planning, Kidspace ensures a delightful experience for both kids and parents alike.
