The Stockton Children's Museum is located in downtown Stockton, across from the Deep Water Channel and the Waterfront Warehouse. It is one of the most exciting places to visit in this part of the of the Big Valley!
An educational experience from the moment young visitors step through the door, the museum features hands-on, play-based exhibits that will enhance a child's understanding of how the world works.
On the exhibit floor over a dozen different child-sized environments recreate the ambience of a small city where merchants, bankers and doctors might mingle among the grocery shoppers.
At each exhibit in the museum's tiny town, there are tools and/or machines that can be manipulated by the children, who weigh postcards at the post office, count money at the bank and perform tasks of that particular occupation.

We like to come here during the winter months when the weather is bad and outdoor activities are out of the question. It is %100 indoors. Kids of all ages will have a great time. If you are bringing a toddler aged kid and and older child(children) here, both parents should come along so one parent can stay with the younger one in the toddler area while the other parent can go with older kids go through the parts of the museum for their age group. No snack bar here and no place to eat lunch unless you are going to a birthday party here in the special event room.
They post hours and admission prices on their website.
I love the Children's Museum. It has activities for all 7 of my kiddos ranging in age from 4-15. We usually pair the museum with Micke Grove Zoo if it is to chilly out to play in the park. Lots of hands on activities for all of the kids! Parking is free which is a plus in this area!
