Imagine being a child and experiencing a big city for the first time. Pretend City Children’s Museum is a non-profit museum located in Irvine CA. At the museum, children are able to play through the 17 interactive exhibits which are all combined to make the experience look as if it is one large city. When you walk through the front door, you are greeted by the mini-mall. Your children then get to go explore the city including the opportunity to experience driving a toy car, traffic lights, shopping at Trader Joe’s, operating the controls to the amphitheater and many more awesome real-life activities.
As a nonprofit, the Pretend City’s mission is to help kids “build better brains” by providing many opportunities for hands-on-learning and playing with a purpose. This purposeful playing has proven to stimulate the brain of a child in many ways, thus helping young children use their brain in a meaningful way.
