Museum aimed at kids 2 to 12

HANDS-ON—Jack Baffa, 3, examines a starfish with the help of Denise Hernandez at the Gull Wings Children's Museum in Oxnard recently. “It’s the only children’s museum in Ventura County and a great place for kids to exercise their imagination,” Baffa said. “Kids just have a blast there.”

In addition to 3-year-old Jack, Baffa and her sound engineer husband, John, have a daughter, Aiden, 5 months old, and a son, Keaton Elam, 19, a student at Cuesta Community College in San Luis Obispo.

The Ventura County Gull Wings Children’s Museum is at 4l8 W. Fourth St., Oxnard.
