About Southern California Children's Museum

Southern California Children's Museum in Pasadena features hands-on exhibits where children explore through play, including Wild California Forest, Wild California Shore, and themed spaces designed for interactive discovery. The museum houses live animals and offers enrichment programs that are free with admission. A typical visit involves moving through multiple gallery spaces where visitors engage with the exhibits at their own pace. The museum operates Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Friday and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and Sunday from 12:30 PM to 4:30 PM, with special programming on the last Thursday of each month. General admission is $12 for children ages one and older and adults, though families with a state-issued EBT card and valid photo ID can enter for $5 through the Museums for All program, according to socalkids.org.
