It was a GREAT place to spend a rainy Saturday! My daughter LOVED it! The staff were funny and polite. I even found myself enjoying the place. I would recommend this as a MUST stop on any family vacation!

I have taken mine 2-3 times and they love it. It is both fun and educational and tI always have to drag them out of there because they want to spend the entire day.

We visited this in 2008 and loved it. It was expensive to get in but my son and his friend had a blast! Lots to do to keep them busy and best of all, it was clean. You do have to pay to park in addition to the admission fee so this is not something we did more than once... More

As a member of another children's museum, my entry cost was 50% off. I still paid $22 for a toddler and two adults. Full price is expensive. When I first entered I was worried about the offerings. Once you are inside there are multiple rooms off the central climbing area. Each room is themed and has lots to do. You... More

Wonderful place to go with the little ones, we were members for several years. Very secure, they don't let the kids escape without you. It used to be that if you got a yearly membership you could also go to other children's museums for free, unfortunately that changed and now other childrens museums are half off with membership.

This is one of the best children's museums in the country, on a par with the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. There are numerous activities for the children, especially handy if you are all worn out from sightseeing and need to take a break. It is very close to the Aquarium and Inner Harbor. After you arrive, on the right... More

My kids ages 5 and 8 had a great time here! Lots of different areas to play and a huge climbing structure in the middle. Would definitely go back if we are in the area. A little pricey, but they offer a AAA discount.

First time visiting with our 3 and 5 year old - they had a great time. Lots of activities (physical and engaging). Great deal for membership (believe it was just over ~$100 family), and we will be back often. Climbing obstacles said 5+ on the age recommendation, but my 3.5 yr old did just fine... so enjoy!
