The New Children’s Museum is a dynamic new model of a museum that celebrates children and the arts. The Museum empowers children and families to think, play and create through participatory exhibitions, engaging art-making activities, captivating artistic performances, and in-depth educational opportunities. Located in a striking green facility in downtown San Diego, NCM is a destination for children of all ages, from toddler to teen.
Adjacent to the Museum is a public park, with plenty of grass for running, jumping or picnicking. There are also swings, climbing equipment, and a great view of the trains!
Always new! We’re called The New Children’s Museum because there’s always something new to experience. Our hands-on art projects and unique gallery games change monthly. Kids of all ages will always find a new source of wonder.
