Children's Museum
About This Museum
Believe it or not, Costa Rica's most enchanting castle isn't for a king or queen, but for kids. Tucked away just off Avenida 9 in the heart of San José, this whimsical, crenelated structure has been sparking imaginations for decades. Inside, the air hums with the sound of discovery as little hands pilot toy planes in a mini-airport or tend to baby dolls in a pint-sized hospital ward. It’s less a quiet museum and more a vibrant, joyful workshop where learning and play are one and the same.
Collection Highlights
Kids can scramble through a life-size replica of a commercial airplane cockpit, then run a bustling pretend supermarket. Another favorite is 'La Casa de los Sueños,' a charming dollhouse exhibit that feels plucked from a storybook.
