EdVenture Children's Museum

Vista

With more than 90,000 square feet for climbing, exploring, painting, playing, building—oh, and learning, too—this museum is a full day of hands-on fun. Eddie, a 40-foot-tall statue of a boy that can be climbed on (and in) by children and adults, is the centerpiece. Each of nine galleries has a theme, such as My Backyard, World of Work, and the Aha Factory Maker Space. Kids can shop in their own grocery store, act as firefighters in a full-size fire truck, and pretend to be newscasters.
