Pretend City, The Children's Museum of Orange County

Our Story

In 1996, two local women, marched forward with their innovative vision for a world-class Children’s Museum in Orange County, and the idea of Pretend City Children’s Museum was born. Many years of planning and fund-raising by a strong and forward-thinking board produced the grand opening of the museum in August of 2009. Since that time the museum has seen well over two million guests.

Pretend City has grown from a mere idea to a well-respected early childhood educational institution attracting parents, grandparents, school groups, and educators from Orange County and well beyond.

Pretend City Children’s Museum is designed for children to learn how the world works while engaging their curiosities and imaginations. The Museum is a child-size interconnected city that balances rich educational learning experiences with boundless fun, and where children can try on real-world roles and let their creativity rule.
