San Antonio’s hands-on, high-tech DoSeum children’s museum

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio’s new children’s museum, the DoSeum, gets a big thumbs-up from kids and parents alike at the recent opening.

The $47 million museum is located at 2800 Broadway St.

The DoSeum more than doubles the size of the old downtown children’s museum, with 65,000 sf of interior space, plus 39,000 sf of outdoor space.

Exhibits include:

• Innovation Station, solving engineering challenges and programming robots;
• Spy Academy, a math-based area where spy "recruits" go on missions;
• Imagine It!, where kids write, record and animate their own stories; and
• Little Town, a townscape for little kids with a grocery story, bank and airport.

"I like the DoSeum because it’s hands-on, and not a lot of museums are like that," said 11-year-old Kenneth Williams.
