The Children's Museum of Stockton is committed to working with educators to enrich their everyday curriculum. Our 22,000 sq. ft. facility offers more than 40 exhibits to explore. Children get the chance to experiment with various occupations using tools of the trades in this unique child-sized world. There's even a fleet of full-size vehicles for kids to climb into and around as they imagine what their futures may be!
Drive a tractor on the farm, sort the mail at the Post Office, stock the grocery shelves, view X-rays in the vet clinic and jump aboard the fire engine to save the neighbor's house!
It's all accessible at the Children's Museum of Stockton.
