Mission
Kidspace is a nonprofit museum designed to delight and engage children emotionally, intellectually, and physically through joyful, kid-driven experiences. We invite all children to play, discover, create, and thrive, and to explore the world with curiosity and kindness.
About
As the premier children's museum in Southern California, Kidspace provides interactive natural science exhibits as well as educational arts and cultural programming that invites children to explore the natural world, learn about science, use math, exercise social skills, practice healthy nutritional habits, and take part in the visual and performing arts. In addition, the museum presents special cultural events throughout the year such as butterfly celebration, MLK day, pumpkin festival, and snow days. The museum is renowned for its signature multidisciplinary approach to learning, focus on environmental stewardship and nutritional education, and for artistic programming that inspires creativity and celebrates cultural diversity. Kidspace welcomed over 378,000 children, family members, and caregivers in 2018. More than 3.6 million guests have visited the museum since it opened at its new Brookside Park location in 2004, adjacent to the Rose Bowl. This tremendous figure includes 44,557 elementary children served annually.
