Help Build the Next Generation of Wonder at the Paso Robles Children’s Museum
The Paso Robles Children’s Museum is growing—and we’re creating more space for children to imagine, explore, discover, and learn through play!
In 2026, we are opening our previously unused basement as a brand-new interactive agriculture focused play space, increasing our indoor exhibit space by nearly 50%. This expansion will give more children and families a place to play and learn year-round, including during periods of extreme weather during the summer and winter.
The new space will celebrate Paso Robles agriculture, bringing the story of our community to life through hands-on experiences. Children will be able to pick fruit from trees and grapevines, ride through an agricultural landscape, discover the important role of pollinators, and explore how farming connects to the food we eat and the community we call home.
Thanks to three grants totaling $45,000, three interactive exhibits are already nearing completion:
• Fruit Picking: Children harvest fruit from trees and grapevines while learning about local agriculture.
• Agriculture Bike Path: Children pedal through a playful landscape inspired by the farms and vineyards of Paso Robles.
• Pollinator Exhibit: Children discover the essential role bees play in pollination and supporting our local crops and wildflowers.
But we’re not finished yet.
The expanded space has room for two to three additional exhibits, allowing us to continue building an immersive agricultural experience as funding becomes available.
Your support can help bring wonder to life.
Every donation helps us create new opportunities for children to explore their world, connect with their community, and discover the joy of learning through play.
Help us build the next generation of wonder at the Paso Robles Children’s Museum.
