Building and Connecting Young Minds through STEAM-Powered Play

Pretend City invites you to join us in making a positive impact on the lives of children through a unique early childhood education experience that sparks curiosity and inspires learning during their most critical years.

💡 Why Your Support Matters

Only 52% of Orange County’s children are considered Kindergarten-ready across all developmental domains regardless of socioeconomic background. Pretend City is working to change that by serving as a hub for early childhood development in Irvine.

All of our hands-on learning spaces are made possible thanks to generous donors who understand the power of early learning and the long-term value of holistic child development.

🧪 Welcome to Tube-A-Palooza

Get ready to let kids explore the fascinating world of tubes like never before. Our brand-new, limited-time summer exhibit , Tube A Palooza, takes children on a STEAM-based adventure through tubes of all shapes and sizes.

This immersive experience allows little scientists to tinker, test, and guide their imaginations as they explore the surprising science behind this simple yet incredible shape. From air pressure to motion and flow, it’s a world of discovery waiting for young minds to explore!

With more than 100,000 visitors expected from Orange County, beyond, and even globally, Tube A Palooza will be a high-visibility, high-impact exhibit—and we anticipate strong media coverage from local press and social media.

🫧 Let the Fun Bubble Over at Tube-A-Palooza!

Whether you’re sparking a future scientist or encouraging a budding builder every contribution counts Pretend City memberships and general admissions cover about 70% of our operating costs . The remaining 30% is made possible through generous philanthropic support from individuals and sponsors like you. It’s thanks to this giving that we can create inspiring, hands-on learning experiences like Tube A Palooza.
