The Children's Creativity Museum is a unique place for families to explore and learn. Founded in the 1990s as part of a downtown San Francisco redevelopment project, the museum is a safe and fun environment for children ages 2-12 to engage in play-based learning and explore their creative curiosities. Our "look-and-please-touch" approach to art and technology has been a hallmark of our museum for more than 20 years. 

At the Children's Creativity Museum, we strive to build essential creative confidence and collaboration skills in children from diverse backgrounds. We are proud to be located in Yerba Buena, one of California's 14 cultural districts, and to have a director and staff that are equally represented by people of color. Our mission is to create a space for children and families to come together, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or income, and to foster creativity and collaboration through hands-on multimedia arts and technology experiences.

Teens and tweens (aged 10-14) are invited for a special drop-in workshop this holiday weekend to imagine the city of the future. Learn how data and radio waves are a part of our everyday lives by making, coding, and constructing smart homes, streetlights, greenhouses, and new modes of transportation. Learn new techniques to craft 3D objects with paper, and activate cardboard structures with Internet-of-Things technology. 

Internet-of-Things Workshop for Older Kids

join multimedia artist Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya in a storytelling ritual and community event as part of her upcoming project “Let the Future Speak," funded in part by the Asian Art Museum. Share your story and help build an archive of Asian American and Pacific Islander voices, sounds, and stories from across the Bay Area. We are inviting participants who are willing to have their stories recorded and archived to bring an artifact, object, or photograph that is a touchpoint for their identity, or something that holds significant meaning to them.

Workshops with Nationally-Known Asian-American Artist

Field trips at the Children's Creativity Museum incorporate hands-on, STEAM-based activities to complement your classroom curriculum. Designed to provide open-ended and project-based learning experiences, our field trips will encourage your students' creative confidence.

That’s a great place for kids to be kids also there’s an amazing park right outside the museum I would definitely recommend this for people who have small children.

Perfect theater for kids — ~180 seats, small venue where actors can do without mics, perfect performance of “Construction Site on Christmas Night” that enthralled our 3-y-o heavy equipment aficionado grandson!

A lovely spot to learn about science and technology! The topography feature and the music studio are favorites. And of course, it is home to the wonderful Bay Area Children’s Theater!
