The Sacramento Children’s Museum has selected a site in Rancho Cordova to build the planned 7,000-square-foot hands-on, interactive center.

The city of Rancho Cordova and the museum board announced Tuesday that the region’s newest family-oriented attraction will locate at 2701 Prospect Park Drive in Rancho Cordova, next to City Hall.

Roebbelen Contracting Inc. is the general contractor and has donated $100,000 in services.

Backers need to raise $1.3 million to open the museum in January. In a month, the museum has raised more than $56,000.

Representatives from the city and the museum “have been negotiating for almost a year, developing the partnership that gave life to the vision of having a children’s museum in Rancho Cordova,” a news release said.
