What a fun little place to take the kids. Took two 7 year olds and a 4 year old, and they were entertained for a few hours. Everyone was super friendly. It was a cold day, so outside was open but it wasn't super comfortable put there. The kids drill loved the sand box and toys outside.
Went here for a birthday party and was blown away! I didn't host the party so I'm not sure on pricing but we had the whole place to ourselves!! So many cool things to touch and play with and use imaginations. I didn't take pictures of everything. There is a back entrance that has a ramp if you need one. Unfortunately, it was raining because the outside part looked really incredible too. The employees were friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone and am looking forward to going back.
Okay I’m giving 4 stars because this isn’t my first rodeo at a childrens museum and because of this I will say they could’ve did a better job of picking up behind the kids. There was one side of the museum that looked pretty together but the other side of the museum was in complete disarray lol. Yes there were kids playing but there’s got to be a better way to keep some kind of order. I say this because I have went to other Childrens museums where they have figured this out so the next person coming along can enjoy that particular section.
There is a diverse amount of activities and sections to explore from gardening, to the mail, to firefighters, blocks, books, velocity, drawing and more! My kids are 2 and 4 and they loved it. This can easily occupy your kids for multiply hours lol.
The day we can it was raining so the outside section was closed but it looks fun and we’re excited to go back and enjoy it. For $7 I can dig it. If you live in the area a membership is worth it and you can upgrade during your visit.
The workers were kind, I appreciated that. Hand sanitizer stations were readily around the day we visited.
Great place! Went there on Monday morning as soon as they opened and had a place to ourselves for a while! The stuff is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms and toys are super clean! They also have an outdoor playground which is also clean and fun.
You can dress up there, pretend play various professions, do scientific experiments, read, color, play music (in the playground) and so on. We’ll be back again!
