Great experience...very friendly staff and inclusive environment. Highly recommend if you're in the area. We definitely plan on going back when we are! read more

The Paso Robles Children Museum is an awesome place to take kids, especially ages 2-8. My daughter had a blast and has been looking forward again. It's 2 floors and isn't the largest, but definitely can spend at least an hour in there! They even have an outdoor area. Awesome little kids museum! read more

The Paso Robles Children's Museum is such a cute spot for little ones to play and imagine! I took my one-year-old and seven-year-old, and they had the best time pretending and exploring. It's a lovely, welcoming space--mostly locals when we went on a weekday, which made it feel even more relaxed. There's also a nice outdoor area with shaded picnic tables, perfect for a little break. Highly recommend if you're visiting with kids! read more

Came here with no expectations since we wanted to find some activities for our toddler. It is $8 for adults and $7 for children all day but we only spent an hour there. They opened early but close at 3pm and aren't opened Tue-thu. there's two floors and an outdoor space. My daughter enjoyed the ball activity and grocery/market parts on the second floor of the space the most. Lot of little activities to keep your little busy and even a room for private parties. I appreciate hand sanitizer everywhere and even bins for toys that have been slobbered on so they can clean. There's also short sinks for lil ones to wash their hands which was nice. The only thing that bothered me was the cleanliness of the space. Many toys, especially the balls were dirty and doesn't look like the toys get cleaned very much :( I think it's super important to deep clean daily since kids get sick so easily from one another. The outdoor space is super filthy with spiderwebs all over the little play house outdoors. I would rate higher if it was cleaner. read more

Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and want to take the kids somewhere to play! For the price you pay I think it's a great value. At first I thought it was just the main level, but then we discovered the second floor which also has a lot of fun activities. There's also a small outdoor area to play in. We were a large group with multiple families and we all enjoyed it. read more

Great little museum for kids! Had plenty to do for a variety of ages. The Staff was kind and helpful. My kids ages 3-8 all had a great time

This museum was super sweet. Our child enjoyed a couple hours here. For a children's museum, there are a lot of tripping hazards... so if your kiddo is a bit on the younger side or has coordination issues, just stay close, lol. There were some areas that were super cool and others that needed a bit of TLC. But overall, we enjoyed the experience. read more

We spent the weekend in Paso Robles and took our 1.5 year old daughter here for the morning. She had a great time exploring the museum, and it was nice to play inside with air-conditioning since it gets quite hot in Paso. I'm not sure why some people gave low ratings. I thought the museum was clean, well-maintained, and fun! There was pretend play with the kitchen, baby dolls, and market. I really liked the arts and crafts area, where you could help yourself to markers, construction paper, tape, glue, etc. There was a small theater and "stage" for little ones to perform, and a cool hands-on "Newton's Playhouse" with cannons and balls. My favorite activity was the "grape stomp" ball pit with purple and green balls. Since it was a hot day, we didn't spend any time outside. But they had a fire truck, large foam blocks, sandbox, and a few picnic tables. Admission was reasonable at $7 for adults and $6 for kids, and it's good for the entire day. One thing to note is they don't open until 11am on Sunday, Thursday, and Friday (10am on Wednesday and Saturday). read more

This is really not a museum, just a playground that isn't even themed much. If you look for an hour of fun for small kids (toddler-7ish), go there. Otherwise it's not worth the trip. read more

This museum is so neat for little ones. They have a downstairs area for kids to climb, explore and experience. They also have an outdoor area complete with balancing blocks, water table, and an antique fire truck for kids to climb into and get to experience. The upstairs has a cool ball play experience, that is MY favorite, haha. The artsy area is a great concept, but if you come later in the day you may find that the paint has run out. It would be great if an employee could go in that area and tidy up periodically/refill, but I really can't complain too much. The kitchen area is set up nicely. Paso is really lucky to have this little gem. It may not be the biggest children's museum, but it serves its purpose for the 7-8 and under crowd. read more

Stopped by here before our 3.5 hour home to Orange County to let our 2 year old get out some energy. We absolutely loved it here & would recommend it to anyone. We came on a Sunday around noon & it was not crowded & our daughter played with almost all the toys/stations/exhibits without having to wait. A great place for kids! read more

We had our road trip and Paso Robles were one of the stops. I was looking for kids activities on yelp and found this "museum" with very good rating. However I am little disappointed at this place. First, I thought it should be more like a museum than a playground for children. There is two fire trucks ( I think it's real) in this place. And other than that, just some regular toys you can find elsewhere like ball pit, grocery shops. My son was there for about 1 hour and he gets bored and wants to left. Secondly, I think they need some better maintenance. There is a ball shooting area on the second floor, and the balls there are dirty. We also had a stop at Santa Barbara and we visited another children's museum moxi, which is much more fun and worth to stop by. But I don't recommend to come to this place as a local attraction if you visit Paso Robles read more

We love to go to Paso for the wineries but now that we have to bring along the kids, we had to find entertainment for the kiddos. This place was a great fun space for younger kids. It provided a little over an hour of fun time in between tastings and allowed the kids to get their burst of energy out. 2 stories with many different pretend play stations (art, costumes, games, etc). Entry fee I think was $8 for adults and $7 for kids (there is a cheaper rate for grandparents). There were bathrooms on site and also a sink hand washing station upon entry. read more

My grandkids ages 2, 7 and 10 just love this museum. Every time they come to visit we try to go there and there's something for everybody. The two older ones especially like to dress up and put on a play. The younger one had to try everything but that was OK. The real fire engine is fun and they get to put on fireman clothes. They have a room where you can eat lunch or have a snack away from the kids playing. Parking is easy and it's reasonable cost to get in. read more

Five stars alone just for the paint wall!!!! Our toddler also loooooved playing with the crazy ball maze and fake food and kitchen area. I also liked that this place had a nice indoor eating area. The SLO museum only has a small outdoor area, and when it rains it's a drag eating outside. Here's to more visits at this fab place!!! read more

Good place to take the kids on a Saturday or Sunday. Lots of things to do for the kids. Just needs maybe some updated activities of some kind. read more

I dread coming here but my kids like it. I've been disappointed by the maintenance of the place too many times. It's just dirty and the employees are less than eager to get up and clean, organize, or be engaging with the people who pay to get in. Once, an employee was walking around with a shirt on that said "Please don't make me do things" which is 100% not appropriate for a workplace, let alone a place with kids. It hurts when we pay to get in, which isn't cheap, and then we're met with cobwebs, broken items, really messy areas, incomplete exhibits... I avoid this place and go to the SLO children's museum instead. Oh and please put an umbrella over the water table so our kids don't get sunburned while playing. Or fix the existing umbrellas, they should be tossed and replaced. They're trashed. read more

Great place to hang out with kiddos, even my 12 year old loves it, but probably not for older than 13 pending thier attitude really, always nice and cool a/c, wonderful place to relax from the hot summer and let kids enjoy some fun things and meeting others. Great staff. read more

My kids always have a super fun time here! Nice facility. The prices are high if you go for one time but the membership is a good deal. The only reason I gave it four stars and not five is because the staff could definitely be friendlier. They always seem kinda grumpy and put out. But luckily my kids don't seem to notice. read more

This place is okay. It's rather expensive for the adults. Some of the exhibits were out of order. The worst part was the smell. The whole place smelled of bo and urine. read more

If you have a very small child, say, under 3, this is a place to go. It's quite small, just two stories high, houses an old fire truck and some play stations downstairs. Upstairs, there is a craft area, ball room/ cage, which keeps the kids busy. It's a small place so don't expect the SLOCM.... Worth the trip if you're heading up north anyway, but I wouldn't head there from pismo or SLO just for the museum. The time we were there, the young staff seemed to be more focused on their iPhone than actually working there. read more

Our friend recommended bringing the kiddos here to run around. The cost to get in is pretty steep just to get in for the adults and for kids under 2. I was hoping for this to be a lot more than what is was. The girl who helped seemed as if we were a bother to her. Pretty much asked how many and gave us our total. Downstairs in a book area and a ball pit along with a old school giant fire engine. You can go outside to a sand box with another fire truck. The day we went there their was a party going on up there and needless to say the upstairs was trashed. There is a train track,craft area, grocery area and a ball drop. I saw a kid fall on the first truck and bust it's lip open some blood got on the fire truck the employee saw it happen as well and I thought for sure that she would of went over their to properly clean it up. I guessed wrong. I would most likely not go back. I thought it was pretty dingey looking and in need of a good cleaning. Maybe a face lift as well. read more

This is a great place for kids! I brought my friends kids here to get out of the smoke from the chimney fire and they had a blast! There's a full size fire truck to play on, and they even have real firemen clothes to wear. There's a ball pit and also a fenced outdoor playground. There is also a toddler area for smaller children to play in. If it's too hot or too cold...or in our case to smokey due to fire, give this place a try!! read more

This place has been such a find for me because I often make trips from San Francisco down to Southern California with my toddler. It's an excellent place to stop and play on the long drive and my daughter just loves it. The facility appears small when you first enter, but there are two floors and many activities for young children. The first time we stopped by last year, my daughter was a crawling baby and the toddler area downstairs was perfect for her. The friendly staff even brought out more baby toys, which are still there now. There were many other activities she enjoyed the last two times we visited, including a cool area that allows the kids to put plastic balls into tubes and watch them shoot around the tops and sides of a netted area. My daughter loves it when enough collect at the the top that they all come spilling down. I've already recommended this place to friends with kids who travel up and down the coast. We definitely plan to return! read more

Very clean and fun. Amazing staff! The new play house outside is a great addition. Ball pit upstairs was a hit with the kiddos! Definitely would recommend. read more

Paso Robles is fortunate to have such a fun and educational place for kids. We have been members for three years and our kids love it every time we go. It is an old firehouse with two floors remodeled with interactive exhibits. They have new art projects for kids upstairs. Great for kids 2 to 10. Have fun! read more

We drove up from the Lompoc area specifically to check out this museum and we were not disappointed! I think my husband and I enjoyed ourselves more than our 15 month old daughter. There are tons of things to do for her age range! We went on the perfect weekend because they had their lower-level opened due to Spring Break and we were able to make forts and have fun. They had a paint wall which unfortunately wasn't open while we were there but looked like a lot of fun! I totally recommend this museum for out-of-towners with young children looking for fun. read more

This place is full of wonder and joy. My grandparents live in Paso and my 3/1 year old boys both just love it. Art, science, cooking and fire trucks! A gem of a place for kids (and parents) of all ages. Wish it opened a bit earlier, but no complaints here! read more

We spend lots of time here and love it! I didn't give it 5 stars because sometimes exhibits are in disrepair for too long. But the staff is pretty friendly, so we'll probably renew our annual membership until we're too old to appreciate it... read more

A fun couple of hours for a child. Some exhibits are not working correctly and the upstairs was too messy to be really fun. The ball vacuum and cannon are fun. The staff could be more proactive in keeping the kitchen and dress up area clean. The parents could too! We liked the old fire truck. A little pricey at $13 for one adult and one child. read more

Having visited more than a dozen childrens museums over the last decade across North America, Paso Robles Childrens Museum is one of the best. It is small and lacks the traveling exhibits of a larger Children's museum, but everything there is high quality, in great condition and spotless. There is a well stocked costume area, a pretend pizza restaurant, a pretend grocery, , a interactive ball exhibit for the more active set, a "grape crushing" ball pit, an antique fire engine, and a full stocked and staffed art area. For such a small museum, there were several helpers there on a recent Saturday and our kids had a great time for 2+ hours. If you find yourself near Paso Robles with children in tow, this is highly recommended. read more

GREAT PLACE! This is such a gem of a children's museum! We were traveling thru paso and decided to stop in and spend a few hours letting the kids unwind. I am so glad we did. We have been to children's museums around the country and this was one of the best for its size. It is not huge, but definitely big enough for my little ones to spend the entire day there! They had a ball machine upstairs that was so much fun and also a wonderful pretend kitchen/pizzeria and shopping area! I also loved the small stage with seating and a piano and props they had for improv and dress-up. There was also an art area upstairs. I think my kids spent 20 minutes at the tape walk alone! Downstairs they had a real fire truck and real dress up fireman clothing! There was also a fun grape crush area which was basically a ball pit! I think they spent almost an hour in there! Outside was also great with a huge life-size connect 4 game and another play fire station and some blue foam areas they could create stuff with. On the day we went it was over 100 so we decided to stay in the nice air conditioned museum. The front staff was also incredibly welcoming! Highly recommend this as a place to stop and let the kids get their wiggles out if you are in the area! read more

I'm a nanny of two girls (3 and 6 yrs). I've been taking them to the Paso Robles Children's Museum for 2 years now. The children's museum is always fun for the girls. It is a great place for children to learn, explore, and socialize. It is a little pricy, but worth it for a rainy day or monthly outing. My one complaint is their hours. Most weekdays they open at 11, which makes the children's museum hard to fit in between lunch and naps. I wish they opened at 10 AM during the weekdays... we'd get a yearly pass then. read more

2 floors, lots of stations appropriate for kids ages 1-5. My kids especially enjoyed the "Newton's Playhouse" - There are balls to shoot from the cannon and put into baskets that then suck them up tubes and roll down ramps to get to a big basket near the ceiling. Once enough balls are up there a light flashes and they come raining down again, usually accompanied by cheers and squeals of excitement. We stopped by here on our way to Santa Barbara from the Bay Area. It was a perfect rest stop for the kids and for us adults, we got to check out Paso Robles Downtown which was fun too! read more

Small but thoughtfully designed and well maintained. My two-year-old needed no prompting and jumped right in (pretty much literally, to the ball pit). We stayed almost two hours and could have stayed longer. As they shut off the lights, I briefly fantasized about getting locked in overnight. Gotta pack food, though. Reluctantly, we left. read more

This was so much fun and the perfect stop for our two boys (4 and 2). We are up here for a wedding and were looking for something to do to release some energy from a very long car drive from Orange County. They loved it! Very clean, very organized and very creative! read more
