Kidcity Children's Museum
Learn and play at the same time!
Simon Gutierrez,
Jennifer Alexander opened Kidcity in 1998. A parent herself, she wanted to give other parents a place they could spend quality, playtime with their kids.
Part jungle gym, part fantasy land playtime here has endless possibilities. They call the place "Kidcity." Technically, it's a children's museum -- but it's really more of a playground. The exhibits here are interactive, and touching is encouraged.
From trains to cars, a kitchen, to a kid-sized TV studio. This is a place where parents are encouraged not just to take pictures, but to play along
