| Description: | Encouraging enthusiasm about learning in a hands-on environment that opens the world even to the youngest child. The Children's Museum at La Habra opened in December 1977 and is located in a historic 1923 Train Depot. It features 7 galleries and 14 different hands on exhibits, many of which remain unique to the field today. In addition to these exhibits, an outdoor dinosaur topiary and historic 1942 caboose, the Museum features an exhibit which changes 4 times a year. The Children's Museum at La Habra was the first children's museum to open west of the Rocky Mountains, and was one of only a few such museums to open on the West Coast during the 1970s. The Children's Museum welcomes local, national and international visitors. Children can ride a kid-size carousel, take a walk in T-Rex's footprints, pet an Arctic fox, pump gas, drive a bus, dress up and perform, and dig for fossils all in one afternoon! The Children's Museum at La Habra shows how important play is to learning. Through play, children develop skills, express creativity, discover the larger world and learn to work with others. A 90 minute guided tour is a great way for elementary classes, preschools, day camps, Mommy and Me groups, church groups, and special needs groups to experience the Museum! Advance reservations are required for groups of 15 or more children, ages 3-years and older. Guided tour admission is a discounted $5.00 per person. Tours are available Tuesday through Friday, between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. Reservations must be made at least two weeks in advance. All groups are provided with pre and post-tour activities to get the most out of their fun and educational field trip. Walk-in groups of 10 or more are asked to have a ratio of 1 adult for every 5 children. Group discount only applies to pre- scheduled guided tours. Please call (562) 905-9793 to schedule your tour. |
