Through play, children develop skills, express creativity, discover the larger world and learn to work with others. A resource in the Southern California community since 1977, The Children’s Museum at La Habra is an award winning, non-profit public museum that provides unique, hands-on educational and cultural experiences to young children ages two through ten.

🚧 BIG THINGS ARE COMING! 🚧

The Children’s Museum at La Habra is temporarily closed for our annual renovation from August 22nd through September 28th. Our team is hard at work behind the scenes sprucing up the galleries and installing some brand-new exhibits! 🛠️🎨✨

We're chic like that 💅

Did you catch our announcement?👀 We are staying open for one more week before we temporarily close for our annual renovations!

Kinda chic that you get an extra week to play before our brief beauty sleep ✨ While we were originally set to close on August 17th, we couldn't resist giving you a little extra time. We are now officially closing from August 22nd through September 28th to bring you an incredible new exhibit upgrade and much more! 🛠️🎨

Kinda chic to squeeze in one last museum playdate, kinda chic to grab your favorite photo ops, and very chic to beat the end-of-summer boredom before our big glow-up.

Come play with us this next week before we hit pause to build something amazing! 💖
