General Info

Interactive exhibits and play areas fill the 10,000-square-foot building of Zimmer Children's Museum. Standout themed zones for children include The Mann Theatre, where kids can take center stage in costumes; Main Street, with a mock grocery store, bagel café and synagogue; Discovery Airport, where they can pretend to fly; S. Mark Taper Foundation Aid and Rescue Center, for a lesson in heroics; and the Wishing Wall, which is a miniature replica of Jerusalem's Western Wall. A two-story pinball machine called the Giant Tzedakah Pinball—named after the Hebrew word for justice—challenges a player's skill to navigate a wooden disc through bumpers and targets. Note:All children must have an adult (18 years or older) with them at all times. No adults are allowed into the museum without a child.
