Editorial notes

What stands out

A better fit for curious makers and imaginative kids than for children who mainly want to climb, bounce, and crash around.

Good fit

  • Toddlers and elementary-age kids who enjoy hands-on exhibits
  • Families who prefer creative, exploratory indoor play
  • Mixed-age visits where caregivers want to participate together
  • Downtown outings that pair well with other Pueblo attractions

Consider another option if

  • Kids who want a large climbing structure or bounce-focused play space
  • Families looking for a high-output all-day energy burn
  • Visitors expecting a café-driven play venue with food service

Read more about this location

Buell Children's Museum is a two-level hands-on children's museum inside the Sangre de Cristo Arts and Conference Center in downtown Pueblo. Instead of bounce-style play, families will find interactive STEAM stations, art-making areas, a pretend-play village, and rotating exhibits designed for exploring together. It is an especially strong fit for toddlers through early elementary ages, families who prefer creative indoor play, and parents who want a slower-paced outing than a trampoline park.
