Bring the Family to Monterey's My Museum

Let the kids try hands-on exhibits and new ways to learn and play along Cannery Row.

Located on Monterey’s famed Cannery Row, My Museum is the type of place kids might dream up themselves—a lively, colorful wonderland chock-a-block with playful hands-on exhibits. For example, one exhibit has kids stand in the center of a strange contraption, pull a rope, and then watch as a giant, glistening bubble envelops them in sparkling light. Would-be thespians have a blast at My Theater, where they use props and costumes to turn themselves into a unicorn, lion, or butterfly, then make their stage debut. My Museum hosts a variety of special events throughout the year, from tea parties to fashion shows, all just for kids. There's always something surprising and fun to see, play, and do.
