Museum of Tolerance
📍 Pico-Robertson, CA
Recommended for ages 8+. Features the full Holocaust Exhibit with audio narration, an immersive Anne Frank experience, the Social Lab on prejudice, and survivor testimony installations. Multiple floors with accessible restrooms throughout.
I have been bringing my Gr8 classes to the Museum of Tolerance annually since 2017, but this year’s visit felt especially profound. Given the current social and political climate, visiting this space felt like witnessing history repeating itself, making it more critical than ever. The exhibitions are, as always, incredibly informative, interactive, and impactful. Despite the heavy, challenging atmosphere, students learned so much, and the experience provided a vital, necessary space to foster understanding. Highly recommended for educators.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with teenagers who can engage with emotionally demanding historical content. Eighth-grade classes and older benefit most from the survivor testimony installations and Social Lab reflection exercises. Younger children under 8 are not suited to the material. Plan two visits to cover everything thoroughly — one trip is rarely enough.

“Wry cool experience, sad to see all of the trauma that people have had to go through especially for just being themselves. The museum was very information, and the guides were very helpful, they guided us throughout making sure that we did not get lost, there are plenty of bathrooms on the different floors, upstairs is the information about Anne Frank’s experience as well as the Holocaust exhibit.”

“Anne Frank's section was beautifully made. The social lab prompts you to reflect on your relationship with yourself and the people around you. Didn't have time to see everything but would love to come back!”
