Sacramento Children's Museum, Educational museum in Rancho Cordova, United States.
Sacramento Children's Museum is a two-story learning space where children up to about age eight explore hands-on exhibits focused on science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and creative arts. The building features stations designed for hands-on discovery, with areas for different age groups and developmental stages.
The museum opened in 2011 as the first children's museum serving the greater Sacramento area, created in response to families' need for hands-on learning spaces. This opening marked a shift in the availability of interactive learning environments for young children in the region.
The museum creates spaces where families from the region gather to explore learning together through hands-on play. Visitors notice how children of different ages interact and grow as they move between stations designed for discovery.
The facility has limited weekday hours with extended weekend availability, so planning ahead helps you find the best time to visit with young children. Arriving early or during quieter times can make the experience more enjoyable for families with very young kids.
The museum provides dedicated areas designed for infant development and hosts sensory-friendly sessions for children with special needs at specific times. This thoughtful approach makes it more welcoming for families who may struggle in other environments.
