The New Children’s Museum, located in downtown San Diego’s Marina District, is committed to keeping things fresh and new for its 5th anniversary year. In 2013, new hours, an exciting new exhibition and new and exciting activities every month are sure to keep visitors coming back for more!
Highlights include a 5 Year Birthday Bash in May, and the launch of a new exhibition in October. TRASH will continue to be on display until September 2013.
Here’s a preview of the scheduled changes beginning January 1, 2013:

Sunset Saturdays: NCM will stay open until 6 p.m. on the 4th Saturday of every month to give visitors a chance to think, play and create…late!
Member Benefits: Starting in January, NCM will have special hours every Sunday from
