COMPELLING VISUAL BACKDROP
Pretend City provides an amazing
backdrop of a miniature city for children to have the ultimate pretend
experience. Designed after key landmarks in Orange County, the colorful
city features everything a child can imagine from a Ralph's Grocery Store, a
cafe, post office, library, the Newport Beach Pier, the Orange Circle, a
doctor's office and so much more.
About Pretend City Children’s Museum
Pretend City Children’s Museum is the
first educational facility of its kind in the western United States
representing a small, interconnected city designed to “build better brains”
through purposeful play, hands-on learning experiences, role playing, and
educational programming. As a non-profit
501(c)(3) organization, it depends on community-based funding and guest
support. Through 17 interactive exhibits
and activities guided by a highly trained professional staff, children learn
foundational math, reading and science skills, while fostering curiosity,
creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, organization, teamwork,
self-confidence and socialization. The
museum is a unique community resource where families, educators and community
agencies come together to ensure that each child gains the experiences needed
for a productive and fulfilling future.
