St. George Children's Museum, Children's museum in St. George, Utah.

St. George Children's Museum occupies the basement and main floor of the historic Dixie Academy building, with ten rooms across two levels covering 10,000 square feet. The lower level holds Prehistoric Discovery, the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve room, Sports, Science, Music, Art and Castle exhibits; the main floor has a main street themed hallway lined with a dairy farm, airport and auto shop, a theater, government, bank, grocery store and Kids at Work.

The museum was founded in 2013 and is housed in a renovated building in downtown St. George. Its creation addressed the need for educational facilities serving families across southern Utah.

The main floor recreates a town street with a Smith's Grocery Store, a State Farm bank branch, a SkyWest airport and Stephen Wade auto shop, and a Tuacahn Theater stage, so children try out everyday roles. The lower level adds a castle, a music room and a Red Cliffs Desert Reserve exhibit.

The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, so plan your visit for one of these days. Access to the exhibits is straightforward, and children of different ages can explore the displays together.

A special area is the bubble room, where children create large soap bubbles around themselves while playfully exploring scientific concepts. This experience combines fun with curious learning in an unexpected way.
