SCCM features permanent and rotating exhibits that
help develop a child’s gross and fine motor skills. Let's Play!

Our regular programming and collaborations with local artists allow children hands-on opportunities to explore arts and culture. Southern California Children's Museum, Inc.'s (SCCM) mission is to cultivate a child's wonder, stimulate curiosity, and motivate learning through interactive exhibits, creative experiences and dramatic play, all while promoting the diverse cultures of Southern California.
