About Monterey County Youth Museum

Monterey County Youth Museum, located in downtown Monterey, California, is an interactive space where children and adults engage in hands-on learning through creative play. Visitors participate in crafts, music activities, and other exploratory exhibits designed to help children develop new skills and build confidence in a safe environment. The museum offers weekly programs including Toddler Gymnastics, taught in partnership with Shea's Gymnastics, where children ages two through five learn gymnastics basics through games and movement during caregiver-and-child sessions. The facility features various interactive stations and activities that encourage creative exploration and play-based learning. The museum operates Wednesday through Sunday and welcomes visitors of all ages, including infants and toddlers. Families can expect an engaging experience centered on hands-on discovery and skill-building across multiple activity areas within the museum's downtown location near the beach.
