The museum is not a good place for older children above 4, not alot to do....plus adults pay money to get in and walk or sit around. Its good for younger children for about an hour of play and then it gets tiring, the selection is limited.

First of all, I have no idea why adults have to pay to get into children's museums. I would probably go more often if I wasn't paying $24 for 3 of us to go (2 of which are adults). Then we get in there, and I was really surprised at how there was so very little to do. My son... More

A good place to let the kids run around and explore. There is lots of variety here for the kids to play and learn. They have everything from a train to art stations. Parking on the street can be limited but there is a parking deck just a couple doors down.

This may be fine for kids 2 and under. I took three kids ages 2,5,6. We were done in an hour. The Richmond site and the new Chesterfield location is better. The one good thing is that you pay for one and can visit all three on the same day. For the price, that is the best thing to do.

My son LOVES the Children's Museum! I would give the downtown location 5 stars, but this one only 4 because it's really only for smaller toddlers. My son is 3.5 now and was completely bored last time we visited the Short Pump location. He loved it when he was 2 though.

Went there a couple of times as a chaprone for my kids field trips. They had more fun than I did.
