First time visit?
Non-family groups larger than 9 total people must book their visit as a Group Visit through MoChiMu’s Director of Education. Walk-up admission may not be available for groups. “Museums for All” discounts and Membership discounts do not apply to Group Visits. As a result of limitations in our ticketing system, if your family group is larger than 9, you will need to purchase your tickets in multiple transactions! We are sorry for the inconvenience!
VISITING WITH A GROUP?
LOCATION: MoChiMu is located in downtown Modesto, on 11th Street between I and J. Our address is 928 11th St., Modesto CA 95354
PARKING: A city-owned, pay-to-park garage is located directly across from the museum on 11th St. (Please note that unfortunately, parking validation is not available.) Free parking is available on many streets downtown, but note that it is time-limited.
FOOD & DRINK: We ask that food and drink not be brought into MoChiMu.
STROLLERS: MoChiMu is an active, exploratory space where just about every square foot is filled with activity! As a result, we do not have a designated space to park strollers, and navigating strollers around the museum may be difficult. We recommend that strollers be left in the car.
SERVICES: Our museum is equipped with family restrooms, a Calm Room, sensory-friendly kits to borrow at the Front Desk, and a nursing space.
