LET’S PLAY

Southern California Children’s Museum (SCCM) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides play-based activities and exhibits designed to foster excitement and spark a real sense of wonder. SCCM was founded in 2013 by a group of parents who felt there was an underserved need for public early childhood education in their community. Now ten years in existence, SCCM supports developmental milestone growth for children 0-7 years old through the arts and served nearly 23,000 people in 2022.

Come visit us in the heart of the Pasadena Playhouse district to explore our permanent exhibit Wild California, create in our Art Studio, take an art education class through our weekly programming, and put your imagination to use while interacting with our exhibits!
