Second time coming here, my kids-5 and 6-begged to come back. They worked hard to fill up their kindness jar and, with it full this past week, we made plans to come today. They, again, loved the experience. It's a child's paradise with interactive exhibits, vibrant colors, and music. For my part, I love taking in all the little surprises hidden throughout the experience.
However, as a parent, I think this place could say, "Kids allowed but not welcome." This place is marketed towards "all," but, like the first time, we felt followed the entire time and we were told to move our stroller by staff (we also have an infant) when we were simply trying to take the experience in. We are Native American and it does not feel good to be followed, whatever your reason.
Beyond families, it makes me wonder how adaptive-friendly they are. It has narrow walkways and lots of crawling and climbing. I don't know that they truly are inclusive and accessible to all as their mission says. At any rate, this place is expensive, and if you have a family, it feels like you're paying for a staff shadow. I understand this is art, but you also made it interactive, and I feel like a balance can be struck so that families can enjoy the experience fully with their kids.
