The Children's Museum of Sonoma County inspires, stimulates and delights children through their curiosity and exploration of the arts, sciences and nature. Located on West Steel Lane, the museum offers a wonderful array of interactive exhibitions and hands-on displays for children under the age of 10.
Children can try their fort-building skills in the Wild Zone or go shopping at the Farmers Market. If you are wondering what to do in Santa Rosa with kids, this is a great place to visit.
They can fish for salmon in the Russian River, use their budding engineering skills to create water tables and participate in weekly art projects at Ella's Art Studio. The museum has a very popular Museum-on-the-Go, a mobile museum which boasts a number of superb interactive exhibits, from hydrodynamics to face painting, which can be experienced at festivals and fairs in the area.
