The Sacramento Children’s Museum (SCM) was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 2005. It is the vision of local educators who saw the need for inspiring learning through interactivity. SCM seeks to build an environment in which learning is exciting and enriching for children and their families and facilitated through exploration and hands-on activities. The desire in Sacramento to build a children’s museum was so great, that the organization quickly grew to include local business people, children’s advocates, educators, physicians, attorneys, librarians, and others. This group embarked on a journey to determine how to best meet the needs of the children in our community ages birth to eight years old, and the 7,000-square-foot Sacramento Children’s Museum is the result. Built by Roebbelen Contracting, Inc., the Museum opened to the public on August 25, 2011.
