International Art Museum Of America
Kid essentials
About this place
Free to enter, with an indoor grotto, waterfall, tiny fairytale hut and rooms that feel more fantastical than a normal art museum.
How kid-friendly is it?
Nearby places
Union Square beer hall with a kids' menu and outdoor tables.
A compact play area with swings and a slide, plus a basketball court and clubhouse that runs year round programs.
A one-room neighbourhood history museum. Adult subject matter for the most part, and the walk in is the tricky bit with young kids.
The end of the line, where two operators push the cable car around by hand. Free to stand and watch, and reliably good for ten minutes.
Made for preschoolers, with small bright play structures and a little train with two cars to climb into.
Wide, quiet galleries near Civic Center. Doable as one floor and out again, and there is room to push a stroller through every room.
