Hit the road

The tricycle carwash at Kidspace Children's Museum

As a nonprofit children’s museum, Kidspace is all about kid-driven experiences. Kids can kick off their summertime adventure by riding trikes over the “Golden Gate Bridge” and through a tunnel. A road trip minus the traffic? Yes, please! Pull over at Kirby’s Pit Stop for a quick car wash and to recharge. 

Stop in for a sing-a-long

The bonfire singalong at Kidspace Children's Museum

Make unforgettable memories at a campfire sing-along. Throughout the day, Stone Hollow Amphitheater invites campers to gather ‘round the fire, complete with (pretend) fire and marshmallows. Watch your kid have a blast singing, telling stories, and making new pals.

Be one with nature

Pretend boats at Kidspace Children's Museum

There’s nothing like getting a fresh catch when you’re camping! Kids can put on a life vest, grab a net, and go “fishing” in Winding Willow Lake, a whimsical blue-sand play area with a boat and toy fish. Another great way for them to get immersed in nature is dressing up in costumes that represent local wildlife. Don’t forget to snap pics of the campsite’s cutest hawks, bears, and frogs. 

Splish, splash, celebrate 

Playing in the stream a the Kidspace Children's Museum campout

Water play is one of the best ways to cool down from the California heat. Little ones will love climbing and splashing their way through the Arroyo Grande and playing in the sand as the water flows through Arroyo Pequeño.
