Children's Museum of Memphis

The Children’s Museum of Memphis is absolutely amazing! It’s one of the best places in the city for kids to play, learn, and explore. Every exhibit is hands-on and interactive—whether it’s climbing through the Skyscraper, shopping in the mini-grocery store, exploring the firetruck, or even stepping inside a real airplane cockpit. The Grand Carousel is beautiful and a must-ride, and the splash park outside is perfect for hot days. The museum is clean, safe, and very well maintained. Staff members are friendly, welcoming, and clearly love working with kids. My family always spends hours here, and there’s something fun for every age. It’s the perfect mix of education and play, and you can easily come back again and again without running out of things to do.

Very fun and exciting place for the kiddos! Some areas could use a good cleaning and a few repairs, but overall it is very nice. The splash pad is a great addition (open seasonally).

Terrible grocery shopping experience! Raw meat and seafood was just left on the shelf! And the milk jugs felt EMPTY! Also, my cashier had no idea how to do math, she just kept hitting buttons and grinning at me. She might have been three.

Yesterday’s New Year’s @ Noon balloon drop at the Children’s Museum of Memphis (CMOM) was an absolute showstopper for the 2026 season. As one of the city's most beloved traditions, the event successfully delivered all the "midnight" magic without the late-night meltdowns. At the stroke of noon, the museum erupted in cheers as thousands of colorful balloons cascaded from the ceiling, creating a vibrant sea of excitement for hundreds of energetic children. The "Superhero" theme was a massive hit, with mini-caped crusaders buzzing between the live DJ dance floor and the popular Winter Wonderland sock-skating rink. Even with the large crowds, the museum’s core favorites—like the Grand Carousel and the FedEx cockpit—offered plenty of interactive play. Quick Highlights: The Drop: Perfectly timed and visually spectacular. Entertainment: The DJ kept the energy high with kid-friendly remixes and countdown drills. Added Value: Special face painting and cape-making stations were great touches. For families in Memphis, this remains the gold standard for holiday celebrations. It’s loud, it’s chaotic, and it’s pure, unadulterated joy. If you missed it, make sure to check the CMOM calendar for upcoming 2026 spring break events!

Someone else called this place small...I think they missed a turn or two, it's HUGE. There is so much to do, and is such a fantastic place for imaginative play. There is something for everyone, and we spent 4hrs here, and could have easily stayed longer! Highly recommend for ages 2-10!

We enjoyed ourselves because when we went it wasn’t busy. My daughter loved the carousel, bank room, dentist room, and painting screen. Compared to other Children’s museum that we’ve been, it’s relatively small. But fun overall.

I really enjoy bringing my kiddos here — they always have a great time! The facility is clean, well-kept, and has plenty of fun things to do. The other families who come here are always friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. They’ve also recently updated several of the play centers, and you can really see the improvement in both the quality of the building and the services provided. Overall, an awesome place for kids to play and for parents to relax. Highly recommend!

A great place for kids to run around inside and out. There's a playground and splash pad and the carousel is always a favorite. It's nice to be somewhere with kids where you don't have to constantly say, "stop touching that"! There's many hands on things for them to play, pretend, learn and burn some energy.

Our 10yo LOVED it. Sparks creativity, learning through play, and joy for all ages. Engaging exhibits are brilliantly designed.

I've visited here 3x, most recently accompanying my grandchild on a field trip. A lot of thought has gone into designing and creating exhibits the offer the perfect balance of learning and fun. The staff is pleasant and caring. Little things matter, like the free parking and beautifully cleaned restrooms (at least they have been at arrival during the morning). Thank you, CMM, for good family memories.

So many different rooms and options for kids! Took my 16 month old (walking); of course our favorite was the toddler area, which genuinely is fun for anyone under 4 years old, even none walkers. So much to do. Will say the rest of the museum is a little more for 4 and up for sure. Carousel is a little hard to find, but worth the extra few dollars. We went on a Saturday afternoon and there were a few parties taking place but it wasn't super crowded. They charge for everything but it clearly states that on the website, so it is what it is. The front bathroom was a little dirty, but back of the building bathrooms 10/10 clean.

I never been to the children's museum before so it was a great experience. It's fine. It's a lot of cool things and cool artifacts and stuff about the past very interesting and the movie we watched was about space it was pretty cool so I will I will go back again. But beware you will get lost and they close at five. I think just make sure you find your way out. Lol

We always have a fun time and great learning experience. I wish it were a little cheaper, but overall I enjoy my stay. The staff is courteous and the grounds are overall clean. It's a good environment for children.

Ever changing, ever growing. We've enjoyed our learning together.

I was thoroughly impressed (even a bit surprised) when we finally made our way to the Children's Museum in Memphis with our 1.5 year old. There are tons of spaces and unique things to do in the museum that you can definitely get a full day's worth of fun here (and a full day of energy out of a little one as well). We spent a good chunk of our time in the splash pad area, as it closes in early September, but we also explored some other areas and found there to be a ton of stuff to do. The outside areas are also fun with the pseudo zipline (open and closed seating) and the playground jungle gym areas. From the typical stuff you would see in a children's museum to some Memphis specifics, I'd definitely suggest giving it a go. My only complaint? It definitely needs to be updated and overhauled as a whole (and renovated in several areas). It doesn't look like it has gotten that in a while, and it shows.

It's been a while since I visited, but still the same as before. My niece decided she wanted to spend the day here while in town for her birthday, and I obliged. She ran all around, filled with excitement. Parking was easy. Upon payment at entry, they add on the parking fee. We added a carousel ticket as well for her. Payment with debit or credit card is simple. Most of the areas were clean and easy to navigate. There was a short line for the grocery shopping area. There is a small rock climbing wall, firetrucks, Autozone car shop, play kitchen and more. She really liked the carousel as well. It didn't take more than 3 minutes for her to be able to shop. It is a very informative and interactive way for kids to spend the day, so it's a great place to visit. By the time we left 3 hours later, she instantly fell asleep in the car.

My kids loved there want to go every weekend! FedEx air plane is their favorite! Will go back again soon.

The kiddos and I from my job had so much fun! This is a place that I have visited multiple times over the year and I love it. The staff is always friendly and there is a lot for the children to do. When we first arrived we sat in a general area and watched a short film prepping us for our visit. After the video, we rode the carrousel and the children liked it. Once we were done there, we explored the museum and it was something active and fun for the children to do in every area. I love this place for small children. It will continue to be a place that I explore with the little ones.

We loved our visit here. It's great with a lot of kids. Especially something fun to do inside in the winter or on a colder day. I do wish parents did not have to pay for themselves. We don't end up doing much but watching our kids run around, other than maybe helping them interact with the centers. But the activities are for kids and yet we pay the most for ourselves. However we still really enjoyed our visit here and would recommend.

Nice museum. My kids, ages 5 to 10, had a great time. It is not has epic as Houston's but nice and affordable with plenty to do. I think they need to add a restaurant or something. We had to eat lunch out of the vending machine.

Sunday, February 24, 2019 I remember when I first started taking my little one to the children's museum -after about the probably second visit I knew it was going to be a part of our routine -so that's when I considered the membership- I'm so happy that I made the decision to go ahead and signed up as a member it has been the best decision thus far

This was a fun and bearable couple hours with the kids. The real fire truck, police car, motorcycle, Kroger grocery, FedEx cockpit, Exxon filling and mechanic station are SO cool (even for some of us grown up kiddos!). The full size carousel is beautiful! 2 adult and 2 kids= $70

It was our turn to take our great-granddaughter - a toddler. I usually dread 'kid' places but this has so many things of interest to her (and might I add - apparently up to pre-teens) that the time went swiftly and pleasantly. In case you don't read the entire review, let me recommend the carousel. It was built in 1903, was at the midtown fairgrounds for many years (and reportedly has some Elvis connection) and has been immaculately restored. It runs every 15 minutes starting at the top of the hour, so if you have an impatient tyke, you can time it to eliminate long waits. The kitchen area is fairly large and dominated our Childs imagination, though the Fed-ex 'hub' with it's in-plane camera engendered a lot of cooperation among kids. There's a grocery where you can 'buy and scan things, a theater where you'll appear on camera; giant 'erector' set (can't think of the real name) where you can connect wheels, hubs, spokes; A vibrating table emulating an earthquake (shakes blocks you've built on it); a mist 'tornado' you can interrupt with your hand; things to throw; things to turn - too many things for one visit. The day we visited was great - little to no waiting. However, I'd recommend calling to insure you don't share the place with a large group/school outing.

My son had fun but he's 2.5. I remember going to this museum when I was younger so I thought he'd have fun... but when was the last time you all updated anything or repaired or did anything to the equipment... everything (and I mean everything) was filthy and run down. Still charging people to look at your displays but not replacing outdated, broken items. We literally stayed for maybe 20 min and we left to do something else. Disgusting interior.

Everytime my children attend, they come home with hands foot and mouth disease. Three times in a row. I would like to find other parents who have had the same issue so I can bring it to the museum's attention because they aren't doing anything about it.

I know our family would have enjoyed ourselves here had it not been for the lack of enforcement on the parent supervision requirement. Bullies ran rampant during our visit. One of them even had the nerve to mouth off to me. There parents were no where in sight and when I tried to discuss the issue with staff, it was blown off and nothing was done about it. On top of the unattentiveness of the staff and the rude children running around spouting curses here and there, many of the play stations were missing pieces or not working. In the first section, paw patrol, the flowers for the garden were missing; in the farm section, the cow was out of order- and more. It's also unsanitary. Bandaids and tissues were littered through out the play areas. Definitely not worth the $55 we spent here.

This place was awesome! My husband was skeptical about spending $45 for the three of us, but our toddler loved it. It has things for kids from 1 to about 10. There's a toddler play area that's gated off. Particularly loved the Kroger grocery store area. You could scan things and it would print an actual receipt. So cute.

My husband and I make the long trek out from collierville to bring our 2 boys (ages 1&3). They have so much fun. The outdoor play area and the carousel are just a few of the things they love to play on. Some of the exhibits are older and need updating, such as the body exhibit and the automobile sections. Overall the kids can't get enough of the museum. We hope in the future they will open up a food court with hot and fresh foods to purchase.

Kids had a great time, they probably would have enjoyed it more if everything had been in working order. There were tons of things missing pieces or broken and not working correctly or at all. There were tons of bigger kids, even in the area for 4 and under. My daughter got knocked down two different times by kids bigger than myself. That's not so much on the museum itself, but other parents that are nowhere to be found for the most part. I also wish they had some kind of system to ensure children only leave with the people they came in with. There were so many people it's easy to get lost in the crowd.

My kid loved this place. It has a good layout and enough attractions to keep a kid entertained for a few hours. The carousel is extra and runs every 15 minutes. It's indoors and a nice touch but it does cost extra ($3), although not too much based on my experience with other carousels elsewhere. On the negative side, I thought it was a bit pricey for admission ($15), especially for adults who really only go to supervise the kids. No discounts for young (even 1 year old) or old folks (under 100). Parking is $4 too which again, seemed like excessive/unnecessary given the big open and empty parking space of the football stadium next door.

Carasaul line wait not worth it way to crowed not a large variety of stuff to do. Membership: Membership is $165 Dollars a year dang even more than the Memphis zoo. Food: Only had vending machines, I bought some SunChips they're machine charged me though did not give me my item I purchased! Security: The thing every parent want security and safety for they're child though NO this place does not have any security I see a few workers here and there and at the front desk besides that no there is not good security. Prices: Prices Prices Prices the thing every parent hates prices ok lets talk about the prices of the ..... you quessed it the childrens muesem ok no more kid play (i am not a kid!) 80 dollars for 2 kids and parents that is way to expensive the membership for 2 parents 2 kids=$165 what heck NO!!!

A good children's museum but too expensive considering the size. It charges fee for infant as well which I think doesn't make quite sense.

From my 6 yr old: "This place is super fun, oh! And put one of those family emojis too!" ‍‍

I absolutely loved this museum, unfortunately, since our last visit during Christmas (5 Stars then) of last year and our visit this year in May, this place has changed recently. So here I am updated my review, which is not something I really wanted to do, but as a paying member for an entire family, I feel I must let others know before becoming one. Hopefully, things will be resolved. Currently there are issues with some of the exhibits not functioning. The weather room is not working; the problem is that the flashing lights and rain is not working. Some parts of the museum are closed due to construction, which is fine, but who knows how long they will be closed? Lego playroom included. The dental room is missing tooth brushes for kids to practice brushing teeth. Two huge disappoints: 1- Injury My 4 year old son received a laceration and blunt trauma to one of his eyes, which later produced a serious black eye after playing in the tubes located across from the dentist exhibit. By the tubes, they have a slide and on the right side is a wall where children can climb it; this wall has birds printed on it. So here is the story, my son went up the stairs to go into the tunnel and I walked in behind him, after you get in towards the end, on the left side there is a place where children can stand up and look through a Plexiglass dome. Now this tunnel is very dark, so kids can barely see anything. The way to walk into this section which allows children to stand up and see out of has to be stepped into, so when getting into it my son tripped on the wood trim and fell and started to scream as he was inches away. When he fell I could not see anything, so we slid down the slide and when I looked at his face, I was in total shock; he had a knot at the zygomaticofrontal suture, after this we left immediately. Luckily my father in-law is an MD, so he looked at him, he is okay, I am just glad his eye was closed, otherwise he could of had cornea damage. Visit the museum, but don't let your kids go inside this tunnel/slide. 2 - Gone? The other one is that they cleared out the entire science room and turned it into a party room. Why? In this room kids learned about how they belch, regurgitate food/liquids, how the sinuses work, why people have odors (called sniff, sniff) play doctor and they even had this awesome game that kids could play against each other by guessing questions on how the body worked; this game was called Grossology. After guests left this room, they had this huge pin art display, which has been removed as well. Hopefully during our next visit we see some changes. After things are fixed, I'll update my review. [Review #153]

My daughter had an awesome time here! It didn't feel overcrowded and staff were routinely cleaning each space. My only complaint would be that some of the activities are getting worn out and do not work properly.

Our summer reading camp went here today. I am writing this review on behalf of my student Payge, these are her words :-) : The carousel was fun. The light up peg board near Kroger was fun but some of the pegs were cracked. The airplane was fun. My favorite activity was going down the slide. I sat in an airplane chair and got to drive the airplane.

I really love this museum for outings with my 2.5 year-old. In the summer, the Splash Pad is really fun. You do have to wait around sometimes until they have "enough" people to turn the water on in the mornings -- though that's about water conservation, which is socially responsible and therefore not something to complain about. There are many exhibits, and even on an overcast Saturday morning, it's not too crowded for all of the littles to find something of interest. They are also adding an outdoor play area and more exhibits, so it would seem that business is booming. Tips from yours truly: The membership fee is definitely worth it -- it costs $12 for adults and children to get in without a membership ($20 with Splashpad admission), and $130 for a family of 4 to join with free admission to the museum and the Splash Pad for the year. If you are going to come more than once in the year, definitely get the membership -- otherwise I don't think we would visit as often as we do. During football season, the parking lot becomes football parking as a fundraiser for the museum -- so either plan your visit around the games or plan to walk. Finally, the special events they host on select Saturdays can make the museum packed, so if your child couldn't care less about meeting the Frozen princess, don't go on those days. They charge a nominal fee to members for entry on those days regardless of whether you want to attend the event. Still, these are only minor intrusions into an otherwise awesome museum -- and I'm sure that one day, there'll be an event that my child will want to attend!

Came to see Pups to the Rescue, had a real nice time with my grandson who is three, the have a lot of other interactions for him to engage in, kept him entertained for hours. Would highly recommend if you have a toddler and looking for them to burn some energy

For one adult, a 2year old and a 4year old, it cost $50. My kids had fun for the most part, they didnt care about the car or doctor/dentist areas. They just wanted to play. So they looved the playground outside. I saw a lot of reviews that made this place seem awful so I didnt want to go but glad we did because it wasnt like the nasty reviews. Everything seemed clean. We did have to put up the stuff my kids 'bought' at there fake kroger, but I dont mind. My kids know to clean up after themself.

This was first time visit , it was exciting at the first sight and later lost it as the play thingys for kids are less for price they offer. Clean and food area well designated. Best part is "water spark area" which you should not miss. Kids will definitely enjoy. Once a visit in summer should be fine as it's pricey. Side note - you need to pay additional for parking and water spark entry.Membership pass is available.

This place is SO cool! I visited here late last week with my cousins and their kids (7 year old and 2 almost 3 year olds) and we had a blast. Pretty much one of the best children's museums I've ever seen. The kids have clearly been here before and definitely have their favorite spots: the dentist, the gas station, the fire truck, the disco/dance areas, the grocery store and the airplane. The little ones also really like the "baby" area (for kids 5 and under). We didn't get to see the whole thing b/c it was getting close to nap time for the little ones. The outside has a water "splash around" area for those hot days (which we are having right now) -but it was actually too hot for our crew (especially for us northern folk that are visiting the steamy south this week). Near the entrance there are some cages with animals (mostly birds - chickens and baby ducks) - they looked well taken care of except that in the extreme heat, one of the larger birds was sitting directly in front of the fan...he didn't look happy. If you need a place to take the kids and it's just too hot to be outside, this is a great option.

I haven't been since prob '92 when I was 6 but to my surprise it's now much diff. I remembered the last time I was here, it was an open space where there was just a fire truck and a police car next to each other and an airplane at another end. They def expanded!! Now there's so much to do -- even an outdoor splash park. It's a child(ren)'s paradise. You can become a singer, dentist, a bank teller for a day. There's so much for kids to learn and they make it fun with a lot of mini games throughout each section. What's even more wonderful is to see my lil girl have fun while learning. "Fun-ertainment" I couldn't praise this place enough and they're cont to add on. Next will be a carousel!! :). Can't wait!! :)

I spent so much time at the Children's Museum of Memphis when I was on maternity leave with my second child. After all, I had a 3 year old to entertain, and she was much more opinionated than the new baby. CMOM became our second home thank to my hubby's present of a family membership. CMOM not only has really cool exhibits for the kids (disco dancing, anyone?), but it also has great programs to engage the kids such as story hour, Move and Groove, Okie Dokie Karoake and Tales & Tunes. Take the little ones to participate in these fun scheduled events and then tour the museum. You'll find a pretend bank where kids can dole out money, a kiddie dentist's office, a real airplane with a cockpit simulator, and my kid's favorite, Kroger grocery store, where children can stock up on their favorite healthy foods and check themselves out. If you plan to visit a lot, check out the membership pricing- it will save you tons of money.

Such a fun, imaginative and inviting place. We were visiting from out of town and discovered this gem. Our two children (4 and 1) spent a solid 3 hours here and could have stayed longer. We loved how realistic and inviting the play was. The full-size airplane was a big hit and even mom and dad learned more about how planes work. They have a play grocery store with a working scanner and cash register which was really cool. My kids also loved the AutoZone station with the real car to play inside and the bank with the deposit tubes to send secret messages through. Oh and they had a fire truck, police car and police motorcycle to play on. But our favorite room was the karaoke room. My kids loved picking out songs to sing and dance to while watching themselves on the TV. My only complaint is that they have a splash park portion of the museum and it is not included in the price of admission. We paid close to $50 for our family of four and would have had to pay an additional $32 just to play at the splash pad. $8 per person is a bit steep for a splash pad (we live in central Texas and they are free and prevalent at shopping centers and public parks). Also, it stinks to charge admission for the parents who aren't even really using the splash elements, but just supervising their own children.

Very fun for younger kids of all ages. My boys are 17 months, 5, and 7 years old and they love it. There is a designated, gated fairly large area for toddlers to play that includes toddler-size slides, small stairs to climb, and a large assortment of toys to play with. There are benches for moms and dads to hang out on too. In the larger part of the museum, there are several exhibits for kids to enjoy, including a sky-scraper climbing tower, a firetruck, a police car, and police bike to play on, and a kid size grocery store. My only issue is that a lot of things seem worn out or worn completely down. The price of admission is fairly steep, so I don't see why some of the smaller toys and parts couldn't be replaced or fixed up. Many exhibits are completely under construction. Hopefully this new construction will improve the facility for all. Ps. If you have a large family like us, a family membership pays for itself in a couple of trips.

We have a membership with the CMOM and we visit at least once a month. There have been several improvements made to the museum, but also somethings need to be updated. My children are now four years old and two years old and they absolutely love coming here! From an educators point of view, there are several opportunities in every area for Children to use math, literary, social emotional and more skills. I highly recommend getting a membership if you have children six years old or under. It is definitely worth it!

Kids spent 6 hrs here and could have kept going, but they closed. Lol. Great great day and the highlight of our trip to Memphis. You have to take your kids here.

The Children's Museum is a great place for kids. It's the perfect place for kids to learn and explore the "real world" on their terms. They can climb in a fire truck, police car and even an airplane. I love the child size Kroger where they can put food in their basket and check out all by themself. The bank teaches them to write checks and the dentist area is fun and less intimadating for the little ones. My boys and I always have a great time when we go here and there is something to do for each of them at their various ages. There is even a play area for babies and toddlers. They have special events throughout the year and each week. Be sure to check their website for the details.

This is a slightly odd review for me to do. I am single with no kids. I do work with kids for a living...but tend to avoid all locations with large groups of children in my spare time since that reminds me a bit too much of work. Even though I am single and childless....I do have a lot of nieces and nephews and in the less than 6 months that I have lived here about 6 of them have been to see me so far (4 came at the same time with my mom) I think coming to visit Aunt Jeannine was the cheaper alternative to her taking them to disneyworld....hence the pressure was on to make sure they had a great time during their 4 days here. We ended up going to the Children's museum after we got rained out of a day of outdoor fun I had planned at Shelby Farms. I hadn't originally planned to do the children's museum since I felt the older girls (ages 11 and 12) would be bored out of their minds as they long ago got bored with the offerings at the Children's museum in Chicago. I however was wrong. The CMOM is a lovely bright and airy space with pretty much something to interest all ages. I liked that they had a good balance of "learning" exhibits along with totally funand frivolous exhibits as well as plenty of places for active play. The kids loved the big treehouse, jungle gym thingie and the older girls loved dancing around in front of the green screens and "shopping" in the store. I found the mini fedEx plane and shipping center adorable and the Mississippi river exibit was fun even if it was a bit wet. Yes there is shameless retail plugs going on (FedEx, Kroger, SunTrust) and yes that place is germy as all get out (word to the wise bring LOTS of hand sanitizer...and frequently make the kids use it)...but it honestly is one of the best Children's Museums I have been to (and I have been to about 8) only complaint...the price. $12 a head is quite steep....this would be the reason that this single and childless person now has a family membership....since it was only $16 more to get a year long family membership than to pay our admission that day. They have a lot of events for members and families so that has proven to be a good investment since the rest of the nieces and nephews will visit soon. So I highly recommend it for a day of fun for the kids (and people like me who are kids at heart)

Let me say first, that we absolutely love the Children's Museum. We are members and plan to continue to be for now. I think the cost of membership is set well. We have a 5-person membership which, if we only went 6 times a year would be of value. But we go at least 3-5 times a month, so good value. The staff is friendly. Having said that, my rating is because there are some areas of concern that I sure wish staff, executives, and board members would address and prioritize. First, the rules are not communicated or enforced. This not only puts smaller children in harms way, but can rob the fun of a visit. Ex. the toddler room. There is "sometimes' an attendant. When there is, they generally stand at the door, do not communicate age restrictions and guidelines for older kids' entry, and certainly do not patrole misuse, misconduct, or unacceptable activity. I understand that families are comprised of different ages and sometimes older kids don't have a choice but to spend time in the toddler area. But when my two-year old gets knocked down in the castle/tree because an 8 year old is running wild as the parents watch over and over, or riding the Thomas Sit&Push train toy down the slide into a wobbler-by, your staff needs to be engaged and empowered enough to either say something or get a staff member who can. Second, PLEASE fix the exhibits you've got! The number of broken parts, loose screws, lost components, are SUCH a joy-killer. And here's the thing, it's a real joy-thief for the parents! And we're the ones footing the bill. The police car is just an utter embarrassment. MPD has these cars being retired left and right. There is no reason to have that one. There are even parts and screws on equipment such as the motorcycle that I tighten down myself every time I come. This is happening throughout. The dog house exhibit has been sitting there broken since the day we joined. Why not just remove it if you're not going to fix it. And other exhibits missing components rendering them unusable is the same. It just makes us sad. I would love nothing more than to be PROUD of our CMOM. Right now, and for the past year...I have not. But again, we will continue being members in hopes that CMOM will show pride in their current offerings and develop a plan to address the things that might sway another potential-member into becoming a member versus not coming back. 'know what I'm sayin', CMOM? Thanks.

We love CMOM! The membership is worth it. Unless you're from out of town and won't be coming back, it is not worth it to pay for tickets to get in. It's probably going to be a little boring for kids over 10, but then again, maybe not. We go at least once a week. The best thing about it is the various programs they do throughout the day. They have Spanish immersion, Silly Science, story time, and a lot of other fun things that mix up the routine for people like us who visit sometimes multiple times a week. Overall, great for indoor fun!

My son loved this place! Bathrooms were a little dirty. Some parents were rude but the place itself was friendly and clean. Carousel was awesome. A little pricey with $15 for everyone 1-100. I think a kid's ticket should allow one adult with it.

This was our first visit, but it was great. We went during the week so there wasn't much crowd. Kids loved everything. There was enough to make it fun for adults as well. A few of the exhibits were not fully working, but overall it was great. We would go again! We didn't do the splash park part. Maybe next time.

My son and had a chilly day with nothing to do so off to the Children's Museum we went! There are a lot of activities, it wasn't very busy (we went on a Wednesday) and so many different stations to appeal to every type of child! We loved the Vintage firetruck you can play in, the fishing river and the Dentist. The wooded room was a little scary for my son, what with the talking Grandmother Willow, but I enjoyed it. There were a few exhibits we couldn't experience because of a couple groups that weren't very good at sharing, however I am glad it is a free roam, interactive museum. This feature gives Kids, like my overly cautious and nervous around people son, to fully experience and enjoy the day! I am not so sure the CMOM is worth the extremely pricy membership, but it was a lot of fun for a special Mom and Me day!

It was hot and especially humid last week so the zoo didn't seem like a great idea, so my friend suggested we bring my baby here. She is six months old and even though the museum is geared for older kids, she had such a great time she passed out as I laid her in her car seat. She loved the storm room, and me walking her around and looking at everything. Her favorite part was the tubes that shoot the colored scarves out of the top - she loved when they floated down and landed on her head. And the two aquariums fascinated her. This would be a great place for a birthday party- they had assorted rooms of different sizes that were private or semi-private. The crazy thing about this museum is there is a Jason's Deli inside!! They even had my favorite sandwich on the (abbreviated) menu! Very cool. I almost ate my spinach wrap (no cheese) because I could. It seems like they are always changing the insides (according to my friend) because they were redoing a chunk of it, and he hadn't seen some of the other features that were established, so if you haven't been in awhile you should head back again.

I am so getting a membership. Often children's museums are geared towards children 5 and up. My 2 year old could have spent all day in here. Everything was hands on and lots of fun for him. Even us adults wanted to play and enjoyed ourselves.

All-in-all we felt like the museum delivered exactly what it promised on the website: about 2.5 hours of fun exhibits for the kids. Because the museum is so touchy-feely and kid-friendly, a lot of the exhibits get roughed up and broken from time to time. At the CMOM, fixing the exhibits didn't seem to be a priority. There was a cute little Kroger shop where the kids could fill tiny shopping carts and check themselves out, but only one of the checkout lanes worked. There was a fun water display with boats and magnetic fish to catch with magnetic poles, but all the toys washed downstream to one spot and nobody ever came along to spread them out in the display. There also seemed to be a very high construction to working exhibit ratio. Despite the shortcomings we had a blast here. My older son loved the FedEx package loading conveyor and talked about it the rest of the week. My younger son would have spent the entire visit in the dancing room if we let him. The climbing towers and the little slide area were also big hits. The Jason's Deli offers a very small selection of food so don't go thinking you're getting your favorite sandwich there. Also the Coke vending machines have cool-looking credit card swipers that do nothing because they keep reporting "sold out" even though you can plainly see it's full. Not the museum's fault; just be sure you have some cash on hand or you'll be buying $2 "Jason's Deli" waters.
