LA HABRA — The Children’s Museum at La Habra will celebrate its 12th birthday, Dec. 2, with the opening of its 8,000-square-foot new wing. The opening ceremony will be held at 10 a.m., and visitors will be admitted free all day, with the added inducements of refreshments and entertainment.
The $500,000 addition, which triples the size of the museum, includes permanent exhibits dealing with science and theater, a preschool play park, multipurpose room, gift shop, office space, restrooms, and a new entrance and lobby.
Construction costs, in addition to $200,000 for exhibits, equipment and first-year operating expenses, were raised largely through private contributions and grants.
