The KidZone Museum is a children's museum designed for families with children up to age seven. We are located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the rural alpine town of Truckee, California. Truckee is a resort town 15 miles north of Lake Tahoe and 35 miles from Reno, Nevada.
Our facility is primarily an indoor one - all visitors leave their shoes at the door to keep the mountain dirt & snow outside.- Our current featured exhibit is Lucky Duck Farm, providing repeat-play activities related to farm life.
- Our permanent exhibits include a Baby Zone for infants to age 18 months and a Jungle Gym for toddlers and older children.
- Visitors enjoy creating, painting, drawing, cutting and sculpting in our Creative Center.
- Several classes are available on a drop-in basis. Contact us to check availability.
- We do not have food service on-site, though there are several family-friendly restaurants nearby on Donner Pass Road.
Visitation Advisory:
During our winter hours when we are open until 5pm, we strongly encourage you to visit with your children age 6 and older after 1pm. Children under 6 years of age are welcome anytime.
Do to space constraints and the fact that our exhibits are designed for children under 6 yrs of age, we recommend older children come later in the day. However, all children are welcome at our monthly Family Play Labs.
Thank you for your consideration.
