Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose

Kids lead the way at Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose, exploring and discovering through open-ended, play-based learning. Over 150 hands-on exhibits and programs in the sciences, humanities, arts, nature, and health spark curiosity and ignite family fun where children build life skills in creative and critical thinking, problem-solving, and confidence. The nonprofit celebrates people and diverse cultures, creates authentic connections, and builds global understanding. Inspiring creativity, curiosity, and lifelong learning inside the stunning 52,000 square foot purple building designed by world renowned Mexico City architect Ricardo Legoretta, and outside in the half-acre nature space, the award-winning museum has welcomed nearly ten million visitors since 1990.
