Modesto Children's Museum

This smaller version of the Children’s Museum in San Jose provides ample space for kids to engage in various activities for a half-day. They organize reading and storytime sessions at specific hours, but the highlight is their creative lab where children can explore sculpting, painting, weaving, and more. Regrettably, there’s no on-site dining area or cafeteria. However, visitors are given the freedom to come and go as they please. Street parking is available, but there’s also a parking structure conveniently located right across the museum.

Took my two daughters here today, and they had an absolute blast. They both fell asleep on the way home. The whole building was clean (very), each of the staff we interacted with was kind, cheerful, and helpful. One in particular I included in my photos, although I didn't get her name and wish that I had. If we lived in Modesto, we would for sure come back more often.

A cool place for kids to have fun and burn off their energy. The public parking is just across the street, which is very convenient, so you don’t have to walk far. 👍 Inside, there’s a variety of fun activities for kids to engage with, so you’ll probably spend a good 45 minutes or more exploring the area. Also, remember to bring extra clothes for the kids in case they get wet playing in the water area.

Great spot to take the kiddos! We spent about 2 1/2 hours with 2 little ones playing and making paints. Very nice clean kids museum, the kids want to go back:)

My little one loved it here. So many activities for all ages even adults can join which was amazing
