CHECK IT OUT! This museum is on the small side but my kids were still not ready to leave after 3 hours! It's full of active play opportunities, so don't expect to be passively entertained by videos or shows. One side of the building has craft stations (make a paper doll or a cardboard house), giant versions of games like Scrabble and Connect Four, and hands-on activities like building marble mazes (which my 11 year old loved), gears, and wooden book castle building. The craft supplies were well-stocked and staff made the rounds picking up regularly. This side also has clean restrooms and a small cafe area with vending machines. The middle has a small store, then the other side has a large play area that is socks only (so make sure to take some or buy some at their store for 1-2 a pair) with a soft block building area, pretend store and restaurant, a small stage to put on a performance, a room for painting, a giant light-brite, and a small toddlers-only play area. This area is designed for kids 4 and under, but older kids are allowed. My 7 year old had a lot of fun playing along side the younger kids. Based on other reviews, I expected parking to be a pain, but there's a large free public lot across the street and street parking on the entire block. The staff was excellent! Shout out to Veronica at the front desk for taking the time to explain their reciprocity program (we are members of another science center out of state which earned us 50% off their 9 a person admission) and how becoming a member would save us money at other local museums. We will be back!
Wonderful place to go, fun things to see.
What a wonderful place for kids! Also a great place for adults to be kids with their kids. We had so much fun exploring, creating and playing. Even my teenagers got into the fun. A great place to bring the kids again and again.
My kids (6, 4, & 2) had a blast here! We spent almost three hours playing and exploring. We were in the little kids area to begin with for quite sometime. All three ages had fun the both sides of the museum though. We got there about 1pm on a Wednesday and there were not very many people there so parking was easy and we could enjoy all the activities. My kids love making crafts and there was no lack of crafting materials. Everything was done professionally and with kid safety in mind. Pricing was a little high if you’re just going once. We are from out of town so a membership didn’t make sense for us, however, if we lived in the area we certainly would have bought one because membership is worth the price of being able to go back repeatedly. I know we would go back many times if we lived there. There is a dining room that has a couple of vending machines but they do not have a cafe so you’ll want to bring something to eat if you’re going to be there for awhile.
