The Space Zone takes place in modern and future times and allows families to explore space travel, research and exploration. Children can travel in space on the rocket ship; create constellations and creatures using different parts made of various materials; conduct research experiments, electric control panels, PVC pipe "build and fix" area; and visit astronaut sleeping and eating quarters. Children can explore outer space using the toy size rockets, space vessels, aliens and explorers. Lab coats, goggles, astronaut suits and helmets help set the mood and depth of imaginary play for our little space explorers.

The Space Zone is sponsored by: Lahontan Community Foundation, Teichert Foundation, Habitot Children's Museum, Justin Sharpe and The Real Graphic Source, Easterbrook Painting, Contractors Association of Truckee-Tahoe (CATT), Mountain Forge, Saxe Construction, Kings Beach Safeway and Tipps Electric.

The Baby Zone is an exhibit for visitors from 0 to 18 months of age. In this aquatic- and nature-themed area, your baby can practice rolling, crawling, climbing, cruising and all-around play in a safe environment. This exhibit is sponsored by Placer County and Desmond & Alison Elder.

Our Creative Center has exploratory art activities for you and your child any time the museum is open. In this self-service area, visitors have access to washable paints, markers, crayons, paper in many sizes and colors. Children will also enjoy using play clay and implements. We also offer classes in the center, such as Messy Art and Wonder Science.

The Jungle Gym play structure has a slide and climbing wall. It's a great place for kids to use up all that energy. During winter, this exhibit does wonders for your child's gross motor skills! The stairs to the slide are easy enough for younger visitors to navigate.

The KidZone Museum also has various exhibits available for loan.
