About Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose

Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose features Bill's Backyard, a half-acre outdoor expansion where visitors climb the Tree Climber, scurry through a squirrel tunnel to the LookOut Tower, and dig in the Dig Pit with gravel, sand, and dirt. The indoor exhibits include the new TapeScape, where children climb and crawl through an extraordinary world made of tape, plus Amazing AirMaze, where air blasts colorful objects through a massive maze of curvy tubes. Potter the Otter invites visitors on a healthy adventure, and a 14,000-year-old mammoth skeleton anchors the collection. The Garden lets visitors smell, touch, and see flowers, fruits, and vegetables while learning how they grow. The museum operates in San Jose, California, with hours and admission prices published on its website. Families with valid Calfresh EBT or SNAP EBT cards can purchase reduced admission tickets for five dollars per person, up to four people, when showing their photo ID in person, as listed on cdm.org.
