In the last year, more than 35,000 visitors and school children explored our hands-on exhibits, attended our science, arts, and engineering programs, and discovered the joy childhood offers through play and discovery.
Together with our donors and volunteers, we are driving growth at the county’s only museum devoted to children and you can help!
Over the next decade, we plan to expand our facilities, continue developing our exhibits and programming, and grow into the kind of museum our community needs to be a beacon for the young families who will drive the future of our county.

Mission Statement
The Santa Cruz Children’s Museum of Discovery will delight, inspire and challenge by providing an exciting and interactive learning environment in which children can explore the wonders of Santa Cruz County. We will be a popular destination for local youth, their parents and teachers in the Monterey Bay area. Additionally, the museum will be renowned as an attraction for visitors to the area. We will utilize cutting edge educational methodologies to maximize the learning opportunities for the children, and will incorporate the feedback from our constituents so that we continually evolve and respond to new ideas. Our permanency will be guaranteed by strong community support and sound nancial planning through grants and donations, events and programs, combined with high volumes of visitors through our doors. We will measure our success by the number of visitors we impact every year, by the awards and other forms of recognition we get among children’s museums, and by the pride that the community has in that which we bring to the children of Santa Cruz County.
