kidspace children's museum

Younger kids love this place. They wanted to stay and do it all. Just keep an eye out on your sun exposure, a good part of this is outdoors.

I liked the outdoor exhibits and activities for my boys - ages 5 and 7. They could learn science and have fun at the same time. In the back was a water area and even a small rock climbing wall. I would go there again.

Maybe this place is best suited for children below 10. But the science based activities can also be fun and interesting for older ones.

Kidspace was designed for kids, but as adults, my husband and I found lots to like and admire - and watch the children enjoy themselves. This museum inspires kids to play in unique ways, explore the Haunted House, learn from the Critter Expo, unleash an earthquake, feed giant bugs, craft art, climb raindrops 40' in the air, as well as have a sensory experience through touch, smell, hear, taste and sight. Plan on spending several hours here. The admission is reasonable and well worth the money and your time.

first i doubted to go there with my 2,5 years old, because i thought he was to young for a museum. but when i went there i changed my mind because it's not only an educational but also a very fun place to go. there is a looooooot for children to do there. even the educational part that is for bigger kids is interesting for small ones - just to look how things move etc. for the very little ones there is a special room for playing, there is also a very nice river (but the water is cold - and my son got sick after that), to play (so be sure to take a little bucket with you. there is a cafe inside, a shop, restrooms, outdoor and indoor activities... pretty much everything to spend a whole of half of the day there.

My family and I drove out from Palm Springs for the kids to enjoy themselves! This weekend happened to be the Pumpkin Festival and it was not only half off admission, but the pumpkin festival was so much fun! The festival is only this weekend, so get there early!! We have a 6y, 5y, 3y & 5 month old and there was so much to do!! Take an extra set of clothing cause they do have the option to get wet! The water is only on from 11-3 to conserve water. The Pumpkin Festival was free, you just have to buy the tickets for kids to play games and do arts and crafts. The food also cost tickets and I must say, the food was really delicious! We had the pulled pork nachos (9 tickets = $9, pretty pricey huh? The Teriyaki Chicken bowls were $6 not bad) and the games varied between 1-3 tickets. If you plan to go sometime after this weekend here is a coupon to get $3 off. http://www.readysetgrowla.org/coupons-partners/kidspace.html(It must be printed to be valid.)So have fun and enjoy!!!

Everyone in our group had a fun time. It is not a huge space so grandma could easily walk around with us (unlike the LA Zoo which takes a lot of walking). The "Physics Forest" is super cool for me, an engineer, but also was fun for the kids. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. I plan to go back.

This is a great place to visit right by the Rose Bowl. So many things for kids to see and do. We went when it was a bit warm out and there were water features that kids could play in. It's really inexpensive too and they offer a year pass if you live in the area and would like to come more frequently.

Set in the outskirts of Brookside Park near the Rose Bowl and next to the actual field Jackie Robinson played in as a boy with his brother Mack give the Museum a historical value. Kids and adults will both enjoy the variety of activities available.

If typy have kids under ten years old there is so much fun to be had at kidspace.I had a six month membership and it more than paid for itself over that period of time.

There is so much to do. I just let my 7 year old grandson go wherever he wants. It's educational in a very playful and interesting way.

Took 2 of my grandchildren, ages 4 1/2 and 2 1/2 here. We had a great time . They enjoyed climbing up the big towers. There was an opportunity to paint and we experimented with mixing colors. They especially enjoyed the Arroyo, where they waded in the stream and got soaked! There were also trikes to ride and water table to play with. the new Physics Forrest was great and we learned all kid of things, enjoyed launching many balls. Bring a change of clothes because they will get wet and wear water friendly shoes (like Crocs). Free parking is a plus and there is a park for picnicking with climbing toys and slides nearby.

Great day with our grandson age 2.5! Many children's museums say they are "hands on" and aren't! Every activity here is fun and really hands on, so children can get involved themselves without adults explaining what to do. A special inside play area for those under age 4 is the best I've ever seen. Easy water activities, like shooting water guns at drum heads to make music; a small stream going downhill designed for wading; and water shoots coming up to run under, plus many more add to the fun. Bring a towel, a change of clothes and watershoes and let them run! Staff was available at every area to answer questions. Kid-friendly food like juice boxes, smoothies, pizza of all sizes and more is available, within a comfortable seating area of umbrella tables. We'll be back!!!

We took our granddaughter. This is an excellent trip for the curious child and one who loves to discover and play! Great place.

Kidspace keeps getting better and better. They have a new area for arts and crafts with very patient young people assisting children in making a project. We took three grand children on a Saturday, ages 7 and two three year olds. We spent nearly four hours there. It was a hot day so we let them wear swimsuits and brought towels-big water play area in back with a creek and buckets to play with. Plus squirting water features in the area by the snack bar. Physics forest is great for older kids. Lots of hands on stuff and there is a big area in the shade with big foam bricks and connectors -easily done by a three year old. It can be difficult to keep track of kids here, so one to one for small children is advised. The food line at the cafe is long and the food is not that great, I brought bottled water and snacks. Admission is eleven bucks per person-no matter what age. Worth every penney. They were all asleep by 7pm!
