KidSTREAM opened to the public in a 21,000-square-foot space in Ventura County. The museum is the first of its kind in the county and aims to reach as many local children as possible through outreach, discounts, and free programming. Immersive exhibits reflect local industry and geography, including an agriculture area where children pick pretend fruits and sell them at a farmers market, and an ocean exhibit featuring miniature Channel Islands replicas emerging from a bouncy “Pacific Ocean.” STREAM stands for Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Math, supported by activity carts and art projects. The museum also serves practical family needs, offering a place for children to play and rest.
"They'll describe how the museum is the first of its kind in Ventura County and how they hope to make it accessible to as many local children as possible through outreach, discounts and free programming."
"They'll explain how the immersive exhibits highlight the county's unique industry and geography, including an agriculture area where young visitors can pick pretend fruits and sell them at a farmers market and an ocean exhibit where miniature replicas of the Channel Islands emerge from the bouncy blue "Pacific Ocean.""
"They'll share that the STREAM in KidSTREAM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts and Math, and talk about the activity carts and art projects that will enhance and support learning for young visitors."
""Parents are looking for a good nap on the way home," said KidSTREAM founder Kristie Akl. "And we can give them that too.""
