San Diego Children's Discovery Museum

About Us
San Diego Children's Discovery Museum sparks a love of learning so all children can discover their wildest dreams. Today we remain the only hands-on educational children's museum in North San Diego County, serving children ages 0-10 with interactive exhibits and programs focused on STREAM (science, technology, reading, engineering, art, and math) education. 

Interactive experiences are a crucial element of learning. All exhibits and programs are designed with the help of museum experts, educators, and childhood development specialists, ensuring a wide range of skill development and concepts that align with California’s Common Core learning standards for science, math, English language arts, visual and performing arts, and social science. Time spent at the Museum develops crucial life skills like curiosity, confidence, and creativity, which are all qualities that strengthen children’s potential to excel in school, careers, communities, and as parents. We challenge children’s imagination and curiosity through interactive exhibits and hands-on programming. Through play, children have the opportunity for creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and hands-on exploration and experimentation in a safe environment where there are no right or wrong answers.
