About Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose

Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose is a hands-on museum where children explore indoor and outdoor exhibits through play-based learning. Visitors climb the Tree Climber in Bill's Backyard, a half-acre outdoor space, scurry through tunnels to the LookOut Tower, and dig in the Dig Pit with gravel, sand, and dirt. Indoor exhibits include Amazing AirMaze, where air blasts colorful objects through tubes, Potter the Otter: A Healthy Adventure, and TapeScape, an exhibit where children climb and crawl through an extraordinary world made of tape. The museum also features a Garden where visitors smell, touch, and see flowers, fruits, and vegetables while learning how they grow. Bill's Backyard is wheelchair accessible and offers multi-sensory experiences for children of varying developmental stages. Located in San Jose, California, the museum charges admission with prices published online where tickets are also sold. With a valid Calfresh EBT or SNAP EBT card, visitors receive reduced admission for up to four people at $5 per person when shown in person, according to cdm.org.
