5 of 9 children's museums

Where a card says no price or no hours listed, the venue does not publish it. We would rather leave the gap than fill it with a guess. Prices come from each venue's own website, and we publish one only when the figure appears on the page we took it from. Tell us if we are missing one you know.

Before you go

Quick answers for busy parents.

Exhibits are built for age bandsMost have a dedicated under-three area. Check where it is before your toddler follows an older sibling.
Ask about quiet or sensory hoursMany run a lower-noise session, and they are not always advertised on the front page.
After school is the busy hourWeekday mornings in term time are usually the calmest time to go.
Look for free or reduced daysA lot of children’s museums run one, often monthly and often on an evening.

Common questions about children's museums in Los Angeles

How many children's museums are there in Los Angeles?

We list 9 children's museums within 90 miles of Los Angeles, CA. Every one is a published listing with an address we checked.

Which children's museums in Los Angeles publish their prices?

6 of the 9 here do, and each price was checked word for word against the venue's own page before we published it. The rest do not publish one, so their card says no price listed rather than carrying a guess.

Which children's museums in Los Angeles suit a toddler?

5 of them list an age range starting at two or under. Check the age line on each card, because a place that suits a six-year-old does not always suit a two-year-old.

How did Mini Navigators choose these children's museums?

We list every one we have within 90 miles of the center of Los Angeles. Each is a published place with an address we geocoded and checked, and the business can claim its listing to keep the hours and prices current.

Do adults have to pay?

It varies more than you would expect, from free to full price, and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you. The price on each card is what it costs to get a child in. 6 of the 9 on this page publish a price at all, so call ahead about the adult rate before you rely on it.

Do I need to book ahead?

Often timed entry at weekends and in the holidays. Weekday mornings are quieter and rarely need it. Where a venue publishes a booking page, the listing links straight to it.

What should I bring?

A change of clothes for the water and sand areas, and socks, which several ask for. Whatever else you need is in the notes beside the listings above.

What else is there to do with kids in Los Angeles?

Los Angeles has 20 categories of kid-friendly places on Mini Navigators, from playgrounds and museums to splash pads and zoos. The Los Angeles hub lists all of them.

Listings last checked October 5, 2026.
