About Us:

The museum was developed in 1997 to provide an environment where curiosity and creativity flourish, while both children and adults learn together through experience. After a successful capital campaign and move in 2008, Monterey County Youth Museum (MY Museum) now resides at 425 Washington Street. This conveniently located facility is surrounded by the Monterey Sports Center and Dennis the Menace Park. MY Museum provides an environment unique to any other in Monterey County. Constructed as a microcosm of “what makes Monterey special”, this 8,500 square foot museum is packed with a variety of hands on exhibits, making each visit unique and exciting. It compliments any visit to the Monterey area or makes a good day into a great day for those who are fortunate to visit us on a regular basis. The museum has had the opportunity to touch over 250,000 guests over the past decade and looks forward to many successful years to come.
