Where Kids Can Be Kids

Explore, test, tinker, and create with over 150 interactive exhibits focusing on the sciences, humanities, arts, nature, and health. The Purple Museum sparks learning through play and provides endless hours of family fun, whether it’s creating an enormous bubble in Bill’s Backyard, blasting objects with air pressure in Amazing AirMaze, igniting scientific inquiry in Mammoth Discovery!, or splashing around while sending balls soaring on jets of water in WaterWays. Outside adventures are a plenty in the half-acre nature space where your kids can scale the tree climber, scoop and shovel gravel in the Dig Pit, build a fort, and climb the lookout tower. Just follow Discovery Duck back to the happiest place in San Jose!
