Temecula Valley Museum - Museum in Temecula - 28314 Mercedes St, USA

Stopped by to visit for Columbia Day at the museum. Lil event was small and very sweet. The museum on a regular day has some pretty cool history on how the area got incorporated. They have great stickers at $3 for kids water bottles. Visit the public library that also has some other cool history on the area and take pictures of the valley. Pretty views!!! The museum is great for kids 7+ who can be calm and read the info inside. It has AC and outdoor clean restrooms. In front of the museum has a Super cool park with a spinning globe!!! Kid, family and dog friendly. Plenty of parking on the street in front of the park.

It’s a great spot to quickly know Temecula - how it got its name, history including the names you’ll see on the highway like Great Oak - it is a thousand year old tree in Temecula and “Rainbow” - he is a person not the light reflection. The place has a playground, ample parking, restrooms, gift shop. After spending 60 mins inside, we got hungry and there are restaurants right across the museum. To enter, a small donation is requested.

Kids love it in the touch portion of the museum! Very cute ans clean. Bathrooms are outside so plan accordingly

Temecula Valley Museum does a great job presenting the history of Temecula. The highlight for us was the special exhibit on farmers. Absolutely do not miss visiting the museum if you are in town.

Was pretty nicely put together. Kinda small. Wouldn't be considered spectacular. Based on fact that their restrooms are really Quite Bad, seriously contemplated giving fewer stars.

I personally think the best way to experience this place is to go on a hike at a local trail like (cole canyon) and come to the museum makes you understand the beauty and history a lot more!

Nice small museum with a passionate staff. Children's activity space is well developed.

My daughter just loves this little hidden gem in Temecula. The first floor is filled with so much history of Old Town and the second floor is completely hands on and all for children. My kiddo could spend hours there and its all creative and imaginary play. No screens! Its purely donation only which makes it great if you are looking for lower cost fun.
