Wonderful community museum with amazing outdoor space and special events. We have enjoyed the…read morebirthday parties and pop-up events for years, so much that we were inspired to contribute. Now that phase 1 of the museum is complete and open we are amazed. A beautiful little outdoor theater, a play cafe and farmer's market, a real greenhouse and a Channel Islands themed playground are just a few highlights of the outdoor experience. The indoor has a nice little classroom and shop area and a really cool maker space including a cardboard "chomp saw" and lots of crafts! The staff are really kind, patient, polite, and helpful. They help transform this from a fun space into an inviting experience. You can tell how passionate they are about family learning. The museum is already amazing and a fitting successor to the library that used to be on the site. We can't wait for phase 2, when the rest of the indoor space is renovated and available!

I saw a lot of promo and marketing for Kidstream children's museum on IG and FB so I thought it…read morewould be a great idea to check it out with my husband and my 19-month-old daughter. It was easy to find in Camarillo and there's a lot of parking in a private lot. Entrance is a bit awkward because you go in hallway to check in at a circular booth to get your tickets scanned (pre-purchased online) and a wristband for the day. All the employees are very nice and helped answered any questions. We arrived on a Sunday at 12:30pm (opens at 12pm on Sundays) so it was surprisingly crowded and really hot. We started off in the outdoor area and I applied sunscreen on my toddler since there wasn't too much shade in the outdoor play area. It was mostly a lot of older children and kids compared to my little one. I appreciate the different play stations so it seemed like there's a variety of activities for everyone. Some of the older kids loved sliding down the hill with cardboard but that activity can be done at the SB Zoo too, which also has a hill. My daughter loved the fox puppet so it was adorable to see her play with the campfire station and other kids + parents joining in. We also checked out the indoor room but it was super crowded and I was bumping into parents and the small lego pieces were not age appropriate for her. The smaller outdoor room from that indoor room had huge building blocks that my daughter could play but with the sun shining strong that it was just too hot to play and there was minimal shade. I think there's a lot of potential here when my daughter is older for imaginative and social play but she's too little for the museum. The membership is $150 for 2 adults + 1 toddler for future reference and you can apply visit's admission to upgrade to a membership. I like how they have a tables/chair party set up for possibly a birthday party event so that's great they can host. Interested to see how this place does in the near future!

There no changing station for baby here so be aware but the bathroom is walking up past the parking lot to the left. This garden is very beautiful especially on a nice day. We came on a sunny day and it was kind of hot so we didn't stay long. The small waterfall, pond area and the water fountain on the bottom is very nice. A lot of the flowers weren't blooming yet so we didn't get to see a lot of them. The best thing about this garden is that you can just walk in from the street because it's open to the public free of charge. There are rules that people have to follow but they have a little picnic area inside as well. The gazebo in the middle of the garden I think can be use for special occasions.

We recently treated our six year old granddaughter to her first live theater experience here for…read morethe performance of "Annie". We hoped that she would enjoy it, and indeed she did. It was so sweet to have her alternate at times from laying her head on Dear Hubby's shoulder and then mine. Sometimes she would sit up tall and lean forward at certain times in the show. After, she said, "I want to stay until the next one", thinking that the cast would be doing a second show right away the same day. She doesn't yet realize how much energy and effort goes into a performance like this, but I loved the positive reaction. The theater, while small scale and local, nonetheless does a great job of putting on entertainment which captivates their audiences. It's a blessing to have this venue close to home, away from the hassles and expense of going into L.A. Ticket prices are reasonable, parking is free, and the staff is friendly. The large cast managed to sing, dance, and act their way through a beloved classic musical on a smallish stage and made it work. Kudos to the visual technology that makes set decoration a new type of visual art. We're looking forward to seeing "Footloose" at the Arts Center soon.
