Come Play with Us
Kidspace is a special kind of museum, designed especially for children and the families who love them. It’s a space that fuels ideas and rewards curiosity, where children play, create, explore, invent, paint, dance, build, climb, stomp, and splash.

Winding Willow Lake
Put on your life vest, grab a net, and go “fishing” in Winding Willow Lake, our blue-sand play area with a real boat (and whimsical toy fish).
Arroyo Adventure
Bring your water shoes, a change of clothes, and a towel! We love it when kids get messy playing outdoors. Arroyo Adventure offers creative and kinetic experiences with nature.
Trike Tracks
At our popular Trike Tracks, we put kids in the driver's seat on a twisty mini-highway, and the destination is maximum fun! Try individual or two seater trikes, perfect for those backseat drivers!
Physics Forest
Physics Forest puts science into motion with hands-on, interactive exhibits that explore concepts such as levers and pulleys, trajectory, and momentum.
Campus Map
Our beautiful 3.5 acre campus is located in Pasadena, near the historic Rose Bowl. It features more than 40 hands-on exhibits for children ages 1-10. Outdoor spaces invite children to climb into a giant hawk’s nest, splash and play in our naturalistic water features, bring out their inner musician, and get physical with rockets and giant levers. In our indoor galleries, children can peek into an active beehive, create and invent in Imagination Workshop, explore a giant ant tunnel, and test their courage in our challenging climbing towers.

Celebrating Art and Identity
Art is a powerful tool for connecting individuals of all ages, for considering possibilities and perspectives, and for exploring cultural identity. Kidspace and Transformative Arts collaborations work with local artists to bring cultural traditions to our community in creative and colorful ways.
Kidspace Children’s Museum art programs are made possible through generous support from the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture.
