This place was pretty affordable with a Groupon, but the experience reflected the price. The lighting was very dim inside and all the toys were sticky to touch. One of the workers made a broadcast to keep the toys in their designated area perhaps because my son brought the clothes from the front to the washer/dryer toy in the back. I think they should have left some clothes in the back to allow the kids to play with the washer/dryer in the back. It was a great one time experience, but I wouldn't be back. read more

My 21 months old enjoyed. Great price. Clean and no "weird" smell. Great family time. read more

Nice Children's museum in the heart of Chino. "Youth Museums" are popping up everywhere and not all are worth your time and money, but this one is. Great activities for kids ages 1-5. Clean and safe. Friendly staff and convenient parking. read more

Decided to bring my kids here and they had so much fun. The setup is adorable with all the different shops and activities they have. The lighting is a bit dim, hopefully they consider installing additional lights. Toys were clean, nothing to complain about, overall my kids enjoyed themselves read more

This place was great to take my kids, both kids loved it. Atmosphere was fun, lots of things to do, it was like a smaller discovery cube right in the heart of Chino Valley read more

we decided to try this place out because of the review . Omg this place is not clean the toys were old and dirty . We went to the paint selection they had a few sheets of paper the brushes were all messed up and had 3 water colors . The kitchen was so unorganized most toys were missing or brokens. Charging 10 bucks to get in you would think they would keep it updated and clean . read more

we love checking out different museums in different cities so we were in town near chino and yelped this! it was a small small museum BUT our girls looooved it!!!! there was not that many kids playing at the time we went so it was like a whole little museum to ourselves!! the girls loved playing dress up! they also loved playing at the bank and of course the food kitchen area!! hahaha the employees were really nice and i think we talked to the manager and she was very nice and inviting us to come check out more of their events!! parking was free and it was just on the side and the building did look like an older building who would have thought a museum would be inside there. overall i would definitely come back here again if we were in the area!! would recommend to parents who have toddlers! read more

Chino Youth Museum - Fun! - Museums Near Me - Chino, California

We held our son's birthday party here for 50 guests and the staff was great! Everything was clean prior to set up. They have a room where guests can dine in. However, it's a bit squishy for 50 people. I'd say 40 or less would work better in the room. For parties, they allow you to pick a Spotify playlist to play during the party. Weeks prior to the event, you meet with the coordinator to go over details and liabilities. Took about an hour and 20 mins. You make a deposit first then the rest of your meeting with the coordinator. The museum was a hit for the kiddos. There was ample space for food and drinks. I would recommend getting their pizza package for the guests as they use NY Pizzeria nearby and it was pretty tasty. The whole team was helpful and I'm very grateful everything went smoothly. read more

Great museum for little ones. Took our almost 2 and 4 year old here in Saturday. Lots of cut themed rooms for kids to play and use their imagination. And only $10/person for ages 2 and up! read more

My grandson had the BEST time! He's 18mos and I wasn't sure how it was going to go. There were quite a few older kids than him but I'm sure he loved that he could climb, roam around, touch knobs, levers and push buttons without Grandma saying "No"! We went on the First Friday of the month which is free from 3pm-5pm and included a STRM project! It was too much for him but he still enjoyed it. I will need to place closer attention to the next STEM project to see if it age appropriate for him All the way around, he loved it, which means Grandma enjoyed that much more read more

First time going brought my two grandkids. At first the place looked empty so i was so happy lol I asked if we're alone and 1 staff member said no. So we started to play that's what we came out for, and then the other family came out an sure enough here comes this little boy that kept yanking toys out of my granddaughters then again and again my grandbaby that is only 15 months old the mother was too busy starring at me and not watching her son and the father won't even bother I was so annoyed was hoping they would leave. My granddaughters asked to come back looks like she enjoyed it but I would rather take them to Iplayology or romp-o-Rama parents really watch the kids; And this doesn't really tire them out if u get my drift.. read more

We love bringing our toddler here! Such a great local spot to bring your little and the employees are so sweet! We came so often and we became members (SO worth it!) read more

Good for upto 5 years old. Lots of touch and play room with the fire engine, art room and lots of other activity. Small train running overhead was eye-catching for 2-year-old read more

A hidden gem. This is one of the best Childrens museums in SoCal. Wonderful staff and amazing layout for pretend play in a variety of different exhibits. Have spent hours upon hours here. Can never get enough. They are always doing special events too. Also a great place to hold a party! read more

My son and I had a lot of fun! They have many rooms for children to explore, play, and learn. Will definitely go back.

Small cute clean & quiet facility. Opened up 30 minutes late but staff was apologetic. Wish the membership was affiliated with other children's museums. Also the prices for birthday parties are a little steep Overall glad we went. read more

Staff is always friendly. The kids have lots of fun specially going down the pretend fire station pole. My kids favorite thing is going on the police motorcycle. Would recommend taking your little ones. read more

All the toys were not in their places and not much interactive toys anymore. Needs some updates. My kids weren't too excited in there.

this is our first time to check out this youth museum. It's pretty cute but small place! It's similar as Pretend City but it's way much smaller. Some of the toys are outdated and need to be cleaned. Pro: only $4 admission per person and they allow you to go back on the same day. They also have the calendar for dates and times for kids activities or events. If your kids want to go somewhere but you run out of ideas, this is the place that you may consider. I couldn't believe that my daughters spent almost 2 hours there. I'd say this place is good for young and small kids. It's not too close for us though. :) read more

My son was well entertained. Separate themed areas and kid friendly bathrooms. Girl and boy friendly

Great place to take your toddler and interactive. You will spend a few hours there with your child.

Great Museum to take your children to! Definitely, a must-do if you are in the Chino and Chino surrounding area!

It's small but if you got nowhere to take your kid for a weekend noon and don't want to run too far to Irvine's Pretend City Children's Museum, then this is where you can go read more

Such a fun place to bring your kiddos Staff is super friendly and helpful Highly recommend We will definitely be going all summer long read more

Great for the price! $4 per person 1 year old and up. I wouldn't really call this place a museum as it just seems like a large play place with different sections. There really isn't anything interactive or special about any of the areas, but if you have kids age 2-5, they'll have fun. The water/rain room has an installation, but only one of the displays works. The news room didn't really have anything other than a desk an a camera. The kitchen was by far the favorite room because it had furniture and play food and dishes to play with. They have a large eating area if you want to host a party there. Prices are very reasonable compared to other kiddie play places. You will have to follow your kids around because you do not have a clear sight line due to all the different sections. The play areas are pretty safe and pretty clean considering the age of the building. I really wish they had more interactive installments. I've been to dozens of other children's museums in CA that had functioning wind tunnels, lights and sound boards, giant building blocks, etc. read more

Our toddler loved it! Friendly staff and lots for the kids to do. Perfect for the little gem that it is.

Nice little place to take my toddler to. Staff was very nice. It's a small place but my daughter loved it nonetheless.

Cute family friendly museum, tons to do and learn for the baby's, toddler's and preschoolers. I would give this center a 5 star but they sadly didn't have a way to make sure no one was just waking off with your child so maybe a little more security protection. read more

We love taking our grandchildren here! Facility is great for younger kids-if older than 8 they may not be too interested. Facility has miniature doors leading into several rooms as well as entry for adults. Plenty of clothing for the kiddos to play dress up. There are about 4-5 rooms with each having a separate theme from kitchen play which is awesome! Pretend food, stove, fridge and more! It's a great outing to take your little one to allowing them to run around. It's a great size where your able to keep an eye on your little ones. Staff are great!! Restrooms are available which includes a changing table. Love spending time here and letting our youngest grandson get his wiggles out. Facility also has a room that you're able to rent for parties! If you haven't been here- what are you waiting for!! read more

I called to inquire about celebrating my 2 years olds birthday, however I was told no due to them needing 30 day in advance which was nowhere in the website information at all. She didn't even check the date just gave me a hard NO. They should update there website with this information to avoid this in the future read more

Great place for toddlers , pretend city, very friendly staff, especially the manager.

This place was super cute. It's well taken care of and clean, and the staff is very kind. They have 2 very well kept bathrooms, they were very clean and smelled great. The only downsides for me were that I thought it was a lot bigger, and I feel it's best for kids ages 6 and down. My oldest is 9 and there weren't a ton of things to keep his attention. 5 & 10 months however had a blast. I think this place does depend a lot on community donations so if you feel like things in the craft room are lacking it might be nice to donate. read more

I've been coming here for years now! My kids love it! We normally spend like 3 or 4 hours here and they go home to eat and have the best nap ever! Prices are cheap, $4 per person, we usually come on Sundays and is not too packed, parking is free on the street and there's plenty of it read more

$4 admission per person. BEST thing they allow you to come back after nap time. This place is cute and it is pretend heaven. Your kid can play banker, farmer, police officer, firefighter, news caster, or just have fun playing with their toys. They have art and craft time if your kid can make it past nap time. I would suggest that you check the calendar for dates and times for those activities. If you're a member they let you in an hour before the posted opening time. read more

Had no idea this place existed until I got invited to a birthday party here. So FYI you can reserve this place for kids parties. You have to leave the place how you found it so be sure to clean up before you leave. It also seems like a cool place to bring the kids to tire them out. There's tons of open space as well as a lot of things for the kids to do here. I've never been to a children's museum before, but this seemed to be par for the course as far as what's offered. They have different sections like a police station, a post office, and a kitchen. We had a small party with mostly 1-4 year olds so the only 7 year old there was over it in 45 minutes. It's better for the small ones because they seem to be occupied for longer with the type of toys they have there. For the older ones it would probably be better if there were more kids their age there. The place was clean but it had the scent of uber disinfectant in the restroom, which is good because you know it's clean but is a bit much. There's street parking outside so you may have to walk a bit to get to it if the spaces are full. read more

Whomever thought of creating these kind of places is ingenius, very well designed and in a unusually nice and inviting part of Chino. This place (being a museum) seems more educational for kids, there's a few things for them to play and several themed areas but pales in comparison to Dream Big in Monrovia. I didn't compare prices but it might just be a case of "you get what you pay for". But for a small kids party for locals it does what it needs to. read more

This place is in serious need of an update. It was very clean, but the place has not been updated since opening many many years ago. My 3 yr old grand son blew through it in 30 minutes! The staff were very very friendly, and I felt it was an okay price. read more
