Kidspace Children’s Museum
A nonprofit museum called Kidspace offers fun, kid-centered experiences that delight and enthrall youngsters on all levels—emotionally, cognitively, and physically. For its InterActivity Conference for museum professionals in May 2017, the Association of Children's Museums selected Kidspace as the venue. By partnering with AEG's Goldenvoice, the Kidspace On The Road program increased its outreach program offerings and added a kid-friendly component for the recently launched Arroyo Seco Weekend music festival at the Rose Bowl. The $13 million fundraising target set by the Campaign for the Future of Kidspace was achieved. The campaign's final exhibit improvement project, Splash Dance Fountains, reopened in 2018. Opened was Bean Sprouts Café.
Near the Rose Bowl, the indoor/outdoor Kidspace Children's Museum offers children a variety of play-based activities and educational resources. The enormous multi-story climbing towers, the Trike Tracks, an outdoor rope bridge, a miniature beach, a stream, and so much more are highlights. Go to the Early Childhood Learning Center if you have crawlers. Away from the influx of active older children, this area is stocked with age-appropriate activities and climbers!
Added Bonus: In the summer, little ones will love cooling off in the Arroyo creek area—just be sure to bring a change of clothes.
