Build Your Own Arch, Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose
I am a huge fan of children’s museums for affordable family fun. The Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose is one of the best I’ve ever visited. My ten year old just couldn’t pick one favorite area. Some of our top choices: a play pizza kitchen, real ambulances and fire trucks to ride, an amazing water play area and oodles of bubbles.

What also sets this museum apart is that it has a fabulous enclosed play area called the Wonder Cabinet just for toddlers and preschoolers. The Wonder Cabinet has it’s own art studio for preschool projects, a crawling space for the littlest visitors to explore, an amazing reading nook, and plenty of other goodies.
Here is the magnficent Discovery Museum Fire Truck:

Looks like a fun place!
Fire trucks, my favourite kind of truck. this must have been a fun place for the kids.
My kids could spend all day here…very cool!
The fire truck shot is great. they look like they are having a great time.
You know I love children’s museums. They have so much fun stuff to do. I mean, when you go to the old geezer ones, you can touch anythign, or play. here you can go nuts!
Oh yeah, I’d be all about the fire truck!
Yup. I love Children’s Museums as well. Especially, the Family programs and also the reciprocal program that allows us to visit other Children’s Museums for free.
We still haven’t been here but boy do we have to visit one day. Admission is pretty pricey, though for the while family.
Excellent review. We’ve been members here for several years in the past. The water play area provided many great moments of toddlerhood discoveries for my kids.
