I really enjoy this museum, and my son LOVES it. We bought a yearly membership so we can go every few weekends. I like that there is something for every age, from a toddler room with a giant tree with a slide (padded area) to science projects for older kids. There's an art room where kids can do everything from... More

Took the kids several years ago, they had a wonderful time and we enjoyed watching them enjoy all the props the museum had to offer. Good for one trip, once the kids had been there (and had a good time) they didn't show intrest in going back.

We went there with a four year old and a 7 month old and they both enjoyed themselvs. I liked that there was a seperate room for the babies. The out door area was also fun. My son enjoyed pretending to drive the school bus. The bathrooms were clean and the staff very nice.

Went here with my 4 year old and 10 year old. 4 year old loved it and would've spent the whole day playing here. Some things were a little over his head, but he enjoyed playing with it all anyway. 10 year old enjoyed herself too. While she was just a tad over the target age for some of it,... More

Lots of activities for little ones. We went with our nephews and they had so much fun in the art room, climbing tree, pirate ship, and outdoor areas.

We love the children's museum! Each time we go, there is new stuff and we love it! Even my almost twelve year old loves going there and I only wish I had something like this for my children to enjoy locally.

My four year old loves this place; with the pirate ship, science area, dress up, and so many other areas to work his imagination, he is kept busy and having fun for hours. It was also nice for the adults of our group, as it was easy to participate with our children in play as well as let them safely... More

My kids always have a good time at this museum. They have multiple levels with activities for all different ages. There is also an outdoor area with a garden and a water play area and a school bus to play on. They have a toddler area with lots of toys and a slide for the little ones. Overall my kids... More

i dont know why they call it a museum. It should call it indoor playground. nothing educational at all. a few thing broken, cant find a match with the music instruments. It should be free.
