Children's Museum of Stockton — Attraction in Stockton

Lots of great things to do with young kids. Eight and under is probably a good age range. Lots of things for toddlers, but good imagination play for older kids. The price is fair for all of the activities you can do. There are lots of fun vehicles my two year old loved. The grocery area is great and there is even an arts and craft area with one craft for older kids and a simple one for younger. Easily an hour and a half to two hours of play. There was a few odds and ends that need to be fixed like a magnet wand missing a magnet in one of the displays or a lever not sticking right in the bank. Nothing bad, just normal wear and tear from lots of kids playing. Only kids who really pay attention would notice. Only real recommendation for improvement is the music. It is very fun, but a short playlist where it felt like you heard the same song four times over two hours. If the playtime is two hours, try to make a playlist with more variety. "Who let the dogs out" is fun and nostalgic once. Three times is overbearing. Covid Specific: They are very cautious so buy tickets online in advance to get a spot. Each play area is limited to one family at a time, but the number of entrants is low enough that you are never really waiting. Wear a mask the whole time and wash your...

I went there today Saturday November 1st, 2025. With my son who is 8 with autism. He really loved it, He was so happy. He loved the area where the vehicles are and the eye thing and the small slide play structure. And he loved going to the food 4 less grocery area. He went there and he came back. He did look and was at the other things there but he was more interested and invested in those two areas only. We spent 3 hours. We are from Oakland,CA. I've never taken him to a museum before whatsoever and thats because I always had a difficult time with him, taking him out and taking places etc. That's all been tough. But things have been getting good as I be taking him more often and hes been doing good and I love that he listens to me. But he loved this place. I definitely recommend. And I love how there was not too many people or overcrowded because for my son I prefer it that way. But it was nice. I enjoyed my time there with my son. He was happy and he had fun and thats all that matters to me. Definitely recommend this place for the kids. Also the price...

For all of you parent out there that are looking for something fun and also educational for your children to engage in, please give this place a shot! Now with COVID, you do have to purchase tickets in advance, however, it's totally worthwhile. There are so many different activities and areas here that focus on learning and exploring many different professions and creative outlets. There are huge building blocks, an area for service vehicles. Does your child have an interest in being a doctor or vet? A newscaster or perhaps they would like to learn how the human eye works, they've got you covered! The more popular "Food-4-Less" area is absolutely cool. They also have a space exhibit that should be coming soon. Now the visit are only 2 hours right now, and this means we run out of time to do everything this place has to offer. Come, bring the kids, it's a...
