About the Venue

Children's Museum of Yuma County is a hands-on play-and-learning museum in Historic Downtown Yuma. Families will find a mix of pretend-play, building, sensory, and exhibit-based exploration rather than one big climber, which makes it a good fit for curious toddlers through elementary-age kids. Admission is simple, memberships are available, and the museum also hosts birthday parties, field trips, and special events throughout the year.
