The Children’s Museum of Sonoma County (CMOSC) is a leading provider of cultural, educational, science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) learning experiences for families in Sonoma County. Our mission is to inspire curiosity and creativity through joyful, transformative experiences. Our vision is to ensure that all children have access to innovative play, creating more opportunities to empower the next generation of leaders, inventors, thinkers, and dreamers.

The Children’s Museum uses the science of childhood brain development as the framework for its exhibits and activities. Interior and exterior spaces — including Ella’s Art Studio — offer a creative and stimulating playground for young children that is unparalleled in Sonoma County.  CMOSC’s continuum of arts programs, Arts for All, supports children’s exploration of artistic media, cultural influences, and self-expression. Led by trained staff, children gain a creative edge by experiencing arts and crafts, music, exploration, interactive exhibits, and transformative play.
