## About

Established in 1885, the Crocker Art Museum in downtown Sacramento is the oldest continuously operating art museum in the Western United States. Featuring a breathtaking architectural blend of a historic Victorian Italianate mansion and the modern 125,000-square-foot Teel Family Pavilion, the museum is renowned for its welcoming, family-centered programming. Families with young children can head to 'Tot Land' and the interactive 'Art Spot,' where little ones can touch textured art installations, play with magnetic shape walls, read picture books, and create their own mixed-media craft projects. The museum also provides free gallery scavenger hunt backpacks loaded with sketchpads, binoculars, and tactile games at the visitor desk.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Fully accessible with smooth elevators connecting all historic mansion and pavilion levels; strollers are permitted throughout the galleries.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Private nursing mothers' lounge located on the ground floor; multiple family restrooms equipped with changing counters; airy cafe courtyard.
• Age Suitability: Welcomes toddlers through teens; 'Tot Land' is curated specifically for early learners ages 1 to 5.
• Sensory Tips: Calm, climate-controlled, gentle ambient lighting; a soothing and inspiring retreat for a rainy winter afternoon.
