She’s on the move, but not on her feet yet. Lucky for you, there are plenty of museums that cater to the crawling set. Even better, a visit won’t break your budget, since kids under one are almost always free-of-charge. Here, you’ll find 14 of our favorite museums for busy crawlers, both large and small, from across the country.

San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum – San Diego, Ca

Inspired by the ocean, San Diego Children's Discovery Museum's (SDCDM) Toddler Tide Pool gives crawlers a safe place to explore and learn. Foam block climbing structures give kiddos a chance to crawl, practice pulling up to stand and cruise. Sensory games, a tactile mural and bright images of sea creatures keep it interesting. When your little one's ready to take a break, a cushioned reading nook is the perfect place for a little cuddle time. In April, SDCDM will be renovating this area, bringing even more fun to babies and toddlers. Babies under one are free, and admission for everyone else costs $8 per person. Bonus: the museum offers sensory-friendly mornings the first Sunday of each month.
