Children’s Creativity Museum
The Verdict
"Hands-on kids' museum in Yerba Buena Gardens, built around making things (animation, music, building) instead of looking at them."
What you need to know
What kids can do
The exhibits are built around making things rather than looking at them. Kids can create animations, build structures, experiment with music and sound, and work with physical materials. Programming changes regularly, so repeat visits offer different activities.
Practical details
Admission is $20 per person for anyone ages 1 and up. Members get in free. Same-day re-entry is allowed. The museum is open Thursday through Sunday from 10am to 4pm and closed Monday through Wednesday.
Getting there
The museum is in Yerba Buena Gardens. Powell Street BART is about a five-minute walk. The 30 Stockton and 45 Union/Stockton buses stop nearby. The Fifth and Mission parking garage is the closest option if driving.
