“This place is unique. I’ve never seen anything like it. I assume it’s run by a church. All volunteers. The place is huge and there are tons of different themed rooms for kids to play in. Lego room, music room, sand room, construction room, art room, glow-in-the-dark room, soft toy toddler room, wooden train room, awesome. One and a half year-old grandson was a little overwhelmed, but had a good time. His favorite was the construction room, and the golf cart, you can just climb all over. highly recommend.”

Overview
This unique, volunteer-operated children's museum in Rio Vista sprawls across a large building with themed rooms for nearly every interest. Reviewers count rooms dedicated to Lego, music, sand, construction, art, Hot Wheels, trains, play kitchens, and a glow-in-the-dark space. A separate soft-toy toddler room gives the youngest kids a calm zone away from the busier rooms. The volunteer model keeps costs low and the atmosphere community-driven.
