Nido & Mariana Qubein Children's Museum

This place is such a wonderful addition to High Point! There's all kinds of things to experience and they also give EBT discount with your card and ID (I do believe there is a limit on how many people it covers, but I can't tell you for sure! Check their site for info). There's a play area for younger children that is kind of gated off, a huge outdoor area with a playground, large sand area, and a two level carousel. There's a STEM area upstairs, arcade room, water play room downstairs, and a huge climbing exhibit, and just so much more. I can't name it all 😂. But it's always a great experience and staff is always kind and helpful. The only thing I wish was different is that you can't bring your own food inside bc they prefer you buy food and beverages at their cafe, you have to eat it in a picnic area outside in the parking lot. The cafe is kind of pricey and it's much more convenient to be able to bring your own food. Especially if you have picky littles!

We had a great time visiting here. It's probably better for younger kids. The 2 oldest were 13 and 14 years old. My 11 year old grandson was slightly bored. They had fun, and I did, too. I learned quite a bit also. It's 14.00 a person. If you get snap well food stamps you pay 5.00 a person up to 4 people. They have different activities for the kids to do and different areas you can visit. From an ambulance to a fire truck to guess the mysterious code words. A vets office, a store where you buy fake food and ring it up at a register. A TV studio so you can do the news, a beauty parlor. They can learn about the planets and the moon and know what it's like to be in a spaceship. They had a couple of jungle gyms for the kids to play on. Outside, there's a playground , a big chess game with giant chess pieces, and they even have a double-decker merry go around the kids can ride. Was it worth the money, I would say yes. It got the kids out of the house and running and having a good time. I highly recommend this place. They even have an area where you can buy food and drinks or snacks. Plan on spending several hours here. Also, plan on some crowds, and there were several school busses full of kids. Its was nice getting out of the heat and in the ac. The employees were very nice and helpful, especially when we lost track of the oldest kid.I would definitely go back again if I had younger kids with me.

Great place to beat the summer heat. Activities for all children from crawlers to 9 ish (i would say). Just the two large water table exhibits alone can keep children occupied for hours. Plus a Carousel , 2 story net climb, pretend village and many other exhibits makes this a good place to go. Check-in with digital tickets took some time as the line was decently long. Maybe there should be one line for pre purchased digital tickets and a second line for people buying tickets that day.

Definitely our new favorite kid's museum! I wanted to do something fun but just for a day for my kids (6 and 4 yrs old) during spring break and that's when I found this place. We live in Johnston county and it would be a 1 hour 50 min drive to the museum. So I decided to take the train from Cary, it's only 1hr 39 min but also much more relaxing and fun! The kids loved riding on the train. Once in High Point it's only a few blocks to the museum. Google said it would be an 18 min walk but I don't think it took us that long. The museum was amazing! There are so many things to do! Everything was incredibly clean. I would say this is the best maintained kids museum we have been too (we have been to quite a few). The set-up reminds me of a mall with little stores of activities/ pretend play. We went on a Wednesday around noon and it was not too crowded. The way they have all of the sections set up it never felt crowded or like any area was too busy for us to play in. My daughter absolutely loved the carousel. Both kids had a blast in the water section. We will definitely make this trip often. If you don't live close by, I encourage you to check the Amtrak schedule, it was inexpensive and made it such an easy trip. Also, you can easily pass by the largest chest of drawers for a photo op on the way to the museum if walking.

Easily the best kids museum I've ever been to! I've lived all over the United States and overseas in Korea and this one is superior. The complex is very large, with easy and accessible parking and security. Inside there are two levels and a cafe, with endless options for kids and plenty of seating for the adults. Further, they have scheduled activities such as stem crafts and story time spread throughout the day. In the back yard, they have a beautiful playground and the best Carousel we have ever seen! The kids had an absolute blast and you can spend the whole day here easily! Go check it out 10/10!!!

What an ABSOLUTELY wonderful place—Nido & Mariana Qubein Children’s Museum truly stands out! This is by far one of the most phenomenal children’s museums we’ve ever visited. From the incredible outdoor double-decker carousel and imaginative playground to the serene garden, sandpit, and interactive water activities—there was something magical around every corner. The “potato chip climber” was a huge hit, and even the adults had an absolute blast exploring and playing alongside the kids. Such a gem—we can’t wait to come back!

This place is truly amazing — one of the best children’s museums we’ve ever visited! It’s full of creative and interactive exhibits for kids of all ages. Everything is clean, safe, and welcoming. My two children had an absolute blast exploring the climbing structures, water play areas, carousel, and hands-on science activities. A true gem in High Point — we’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely delightfully well thought out and intelligently planned scientific children's museum. Absolutely loved it, teens and little ones alike. Hall of mysteries great fun - could spend hours in there. Double decker carousel a must-do. And the water room is gigantic, with lots of windows and natural sunlight. Just beautiful.

Took our Grandaughter while visiting the area, and I was just amazed how great this place was for kids of all ages (even old men kids)- LOL Easy parking, exciting build-up as you walk towards the building with dinosaurs on the right & green sculptures on the left. Friendly Staff as you enter a bright clean entrance, Adults $14 (seemed high) till we spent over the next four hours exploring all that it contained. Our Grandaughter was exhausted when we left, and still fighting to stay. I as a grown-up enjoyed seeing future opportunities to learn & have fun as she grows up. If we lived local, would definitely consider a membership. A strong Christian Theme throughout, but a diverse group of families were enjoying the Mars Landing to the Water Area which everyone in our group had a blast following plastic balls through the water spray. A great learning playground for kids of all ages to enjoy.

We came here on a Saturday and had purchased our tickets the Monday before for the 9am-1pm block. I was surprised it was not crazy crowded for a holiday weekend, but I think it may be due to them limiting the amount of tickets that can be bought. My 3 year old son and I truly enjoyed this museum and all the fun exhibits. My son would have stayed in the water exhibit all day if I would have let him. The staff were friendly and helpful. Pack an extra pair of clothes in case your child gets super wet. My son only had to change his shirt thanks to the jacket they provide to keep them dry. You cannot bring outside food in so when we were done for the day, we went outside to enjoy a packed lunch. I will definitely plan to be back as this is truly an amazing children's museum.

WOWWWW..Today was much needed! What a beautiful place for kids to learn, explore, and burn off energy! This museum was bright, clean, and super interactive from the moment we walked in. My husband, grandson, and I absolutely loved the creative stations, especially the flower-making art area and the energy exhibit where he got to "power" a Mars settlement. One of the highlights of the day was the carousel outside, it was such a classic and joyful experience. The music, the colors, the excitement, our grandson absolutely loved it, and honestly, so did we, (I have never been on a carousel before)! It's little touches like that that make the visit feel magical. His other favorite spot (and the one he stayed in the longest) was the spacecraft area. He was completely drawn in, pretending to be an astronaut, pushing buttons, climbing in and out of the station like he was really on a mission. It was one of those moments where you just know they're going to remember it forever. There's so much to do here, STEM play, crafts, hands-on science, climbing zones, imaginative play, even outdoor topiary animals and dinosaur statues that are perfect for photos. The whole vibe is playful, peaceful, and inspiring. I also loved the quote on the wall that said, "To Whom Much is Given, Much is Required." That really stuck with me. This is definitely one of the best places for families in the Triad. Whether you're planning a day trip or celebrating a birthday, you won't be disappointed. We'll definitely be going back!

So much to do here! Imaginative play, mining for gems, art classes and so much more! Plenty of free parking and a cute little cafe to buy food and drinks. The girls had so much fun here. Their favorite exhibits were the water play and out space exhibit. The staff all were all nice and friendly!

Wow this place is amazing. We are able to spend 4 hours here today and there was never a dull moment. The carousel is included and was definitely a hit. There is a cafe area inside with food and snacks that are adult and kid friendly. Its 2 stories high activities on both levels, an outdoor playground area, stem lab, inside playground type area like literally so much to do. Staff was fantastic! This is definitely a great place to bring the kids!

Have visited this museum a few times and every experience has been wonderful. There is so much for kids to do!! I took my 4 and 1 year olds and both had a great time. My 4 year especially loved the NASA station, the climbing area and the carousel. My 1 year old enjoyed the vet station and the water play area. They also have a toddler play area for the smallest kiddies that both of my kids liked. They have a great little snack area where you can purchase snacks and light bites for an affordable price. The staff are very friendly and the whole museum is clean. Parking can be hard if it's busy but local parking has some no tow areas that you could walk from. You are guaranteed a great visit if you come here because there's so much to do!!

*not us trying to be regular visiotirs* We were absolutely blown away! My 18 month old had so much fun, and it's a space definitely geared toward older kids. The first level is a water play zone, city/town, and toddler playground (but was a bit boring for her). Outside is a large play area and a double decked carousel! Upsides is all geared toward STEAM activities with a huge Mars exhibit. Such a cool space! Restrooms available throughout and well maintained. Small cafe inside to eat and picnic tables outside. The parking lot is large and can accommodate a lot of vehicles.

I'm super impressed at how nice this children's museum is. Our grandson had a wonderful time playing in all the different areas. The water station was by far his favorite. The outdoor space with a beautiful Merry go round and was mine. Lots of fun spaces.

This place is fantastic! We were blown away by how much they had to offer and our daughter had a blast here. Some highlights were the double decker carousel, water table room, upstairs stem area, downstairs area with city like themed rooms and the smaller children's play area. This place could easily entertain kids most of the day

Came to this children's museum with my sister and my 2 year old nephew. We visited so many areas of the museum. So much to do and so many areas for my nephew to play in. Each area has staff members that interact with the kids and everyone is so friendly. Everything seems to be clean and sanitized on a regular basis. All play areas are interactive and have knowledgeable facts that we even learned from! We spent maybe 3 hours here and didn't even hit everything they have to offer. We ate beforehand so I didn't get to try anything at the cafe, but their menu consisted of light snacks and coffee/ energy drinks to keep the parents energized as their kids play.

We visited the museum as guests for a special event for High Point University. As "Big Kids" with no small children with us we figured we would pop in and give it a quick glance. We ended up staying for about an hour enjoying many of the hands on exhibits. The museum is large (2 stories) and very clean. It has ample room inside so you don't feel like you are jam packed in with other people on top of you. The outside area has a great play space for children with a beautiful carrousel. One hundred percent worth a visit if you have children.

Always a fun time with my son. Always something new to discover with him as he's growing and learning.

I'm all for a good place to occupy mind, body, and soul for the kiddos. So far, this has been my absolute favorite spot! If you can afford to take the kids out to a museum, this is definitely the one I'd recommend. Though not the cheapest option, the range of activities throughout provide plenty of quality fun and exploration for all ages. On top of that, it's a great way to kill time and/or exhaust the kiddos for bedtime. We find ourselves moving all over the museum with the kids easily getting swept up in each designated location whereas at other destinations, they would get bored quickly and fly through all the play options. Admission covers unlimited rides on the carousel too! They just ask that you step off and re-enter if you're wanting to do back to back rides. Can't wait to go back!

I've taken my daughter to numerous children's museums, this one is now our favorite! This museum is 2 stories and 75,000 square feet of fun! Admission is extremely affordable, being $12 per person. They also participate in the museums for all program, where admission is discounted to $3 per person for those who present their EBT/ WIC card (limit of 4 people per card). This museum is also a certified autism center. We came on a Thursday (while most were still in school) and it was not crowded at all, so take that into consideration when going. To start, parking was super easy with the private, attached parking lot that had plenty of spaces. Upon walking in from the parking lot, there are dinosaurs outside along with animal topiaries (great photo ops). Inside there are numerous sections and areas for the kids to explore and have fun in. The biggest hit from my daughter was the water area. It was so clean, and was a lot more than just a tub of water. There were water features and tons of interactive aspects to it. There was a museum employee in this area, Phillip, who showed my daughter some fun things to do with the water features. He was absolutely great and really appreciated. The outside carousel was another huge hit. It is 2 stories, no additional fee, and has unique animals on it. This museum had plenty of staff working, which leads to it being extremely clean and organized.

Third time bringing my son here and he always has a great time! There is so much stuff to do up to about the age of 12-13. Everything is nice, clean & in working order. I would recommend going earlier in the day, it does get packed after a while and also taken into consideration you need to purchase your ticket ahead because they only sell a specific number per day. They have an outdoor area, theater and a double decker carousel!

A-MAZ-ING. With two kids currently 9 and 4, I have been to my fair share of these types of interactive children's museums. Qubein is by far the cleanest and least crowded (maybe from being in High Point) and I love how much there was to do for my kids range or ages. We were there on a saturday afternoon and were welcomed by a climbing structure that reminded me of rainbow colors pringles. My kids enjoyed the NASA space area and I especially loved that there were scavenger hunts in the exhibits. This made it much more engaging for the older one, while the little one could just wander around looking at exhibits at his own pace. The 'Touch' area was a hit for the little one, he spent alot of time pretending to be a dentist and grocery shoping. Meanwhile my eldest and I spent time in the mystery section. The best way to describe it is a wing of the museum where you can solve dozens of 'escape room' type mysteries! There are different levels of mysteries you can take on and they involve searching for clues and solving riddles. We spent a good hour and half in that section and as an adult who loves escape rooms, i thought the entry fee was worth it just for that section. If you're ever in the area, its down the street from the Largest Chest of Drawers, so don't forget to get your photo op!

Wanted to share my experience with this children's museum, first, make sure you purchase tickets online, we didn't do that and took our chance and fortunately they still had some walk- in tickets available, but because we went early, they said after 2pm they tend to pretty much sell out. We explored the two floors' hands-on exhibits(my kiddo loved the water exhibit the most), the Hall of Mysteries, their Outdoor Adventure Zone, the Double-Decker Carousel, arcade room and more! They do have a snack bar, but don't expect meals. It's is great for birthday parties! We had such a great time and definitely recommend taking your kiddos to this exciting place! 10/10 recommend, we will be back for sure! !

I would drive even more than 30 minutes to visit this children's museum again. I can't believe it's taken me this long because I've been missing out. With two floors of activities, plus the outside and dedicate water room, this is an all day place. We squeezed in as much as we could with our time constraints (had a birthday party to get to) but we definitely could have spent more time here. There's something for every age, but if you have kids with large age gaps, consider tag-teaming with family or friends so the similar age kids can go on to other activities while the littles hang back. You can get food inside the museum, so you don't even have to leave for lunch. Such a wonderfully planned out, clean, place to take the family.

Wow, what a childrens museum! This place is absolutely gorgeous. Obviously it is brand new and that goes a way to it being so sparkling and pristine but the thought and effort that went into the design of this place was monumental. Of the many childrens museums that we are lucky enough to have in this area, I would say this is the finest one by far. There is even a gorgeous two tier carousel outside, which you can ride as many times as you desire included in the admission. A great thing here is that they participate in the museums for all program so if you have an EBT card you can come here for either $3 or $5 a person (not remembering precisely) which makes this a great accessible and affordable way to spend a day for any family. And you can quite literally spend an entire day here, there are so many different areas to explore and enjoy.

This place is awesome! We brought our resident little people here and they loved it! They had a pretend downtown with a grocery store, veterinarian, ambulance, dentist, news station, fire truck, and mystery area with secret tunnels, puzzles, and what not. Upstairs was a pretend space station with lots of buttons to push and a microscope. The kids had a blast! We finished up with the carousel, which the kids were sad to exit, but life is full of disappointment. Get used to it kids. Lots of pictures and a walk through aquarium, a little one, but cool. There's a Pringle climb tower. This isn't the actual name of it, but you'll understand once you see it. There's spaces for little kids so they don't get trampled and knocked over. Price was super affordable! I wish I had more thumbs, so I could give it 4 thumbs up! CHARLIE MURPHY!

This place was amazing and so much fun for both my son and I. You should plan a couple hours if you are going to visit. There was so much to do from water tables, outside play, and dress up. I didn't realize how much they had to do but we were able to hit a everything for a little bit at a time! There are also a lot of science stuff you can do too. I don't know if y'all remember the show ZOOM on PBS kids but it gave me those vibes upstairs where you'd build your own cars etc. We ended our little adventure playing outside and riding the carousel.

I have to brag on Nido Qubein for creating such a magical place for children and their families and friends. This place is really something special and it's just never ending. It opened recently in the heart of high point and adds so much character to a corner that was not always the most aesthetically pleasing part of town. Obtain tickets online or come early if you want to get in. If you have more than a few people and you want to come back, I would suggest an annual membership. We have a family of 6 between my daughters, my parents and sister and it was certainly worth the $250 for the year. Tickets are $12 a person and adults do have to pay. It may seem steep, but you absolutely get what you pay for and then some. From the theater rooms, an art studio, multiple play areas, an interactive water room, a stem learning lab, arcade, jungle gym, toddler play room with giant furniture, and a two story carousel, you literally could come 15 times and still do something new. My girls and I played, crawled through tunnels, uncovered a fossil, drove a fire truck and ambulance, shopped at a mini market and rode a dinosaur on the carousel (me included) and had the most wonderful weekend. I recommend this place 110%. Just please remember to make reservations ahead of time! I wouldn't want you to miss out on the fun!

Incredible amusement center for kids. So much to do that there is no way your little ones will get bored. Prices were very reasonable. Expect a crowd with it's popularity growing. My only wish is that they would provide more food/snacks for not just the kids but the parents as well.

A big busy place built for kids! Lots of assorted things for children of all ages to do. Love the vision of the founders, like that there are indoor and outdoor activities, and I love to have ridden my first two short carousel.

We had a blast! It was raining, so no carousel, but that didn't dampen our fun. The kiddos had a hard time choosing what to do next (there is that much to do!). We had a pretty difficult time trying the clue/key game, and it would be nice for tired parents to be given an answer key (my kiddo didn't want to give up, but the rest of us were done trying to figure it out). While we didn't eat at the cafe their prices looked reasonable. There are plenty of seats for parents to sit and just keep an eye out while the kids play and hand sanitizer placed throughout. I would definitely recommend to all families.

We've been here a few times now, and it's been a great hours long experience each time! There's two floors worth of so much to see and do for the kiddos. There's also an outdoors section with another whole playground (there's like 3 or 4 different whole playgrounds here) and a carousel, which you can ride as much as you want included with your admission! My kids really love the goldfish tank and the water table room. It can be a bit pricey for admission, but you get a lot for the money. They also offer discounts worth looking into. Only gripe is we've encountered once or twice that they will sell out of tickets and turn you away, so it's worth planning ahead and getting there early because they don't sell advance tickets to my recollection.

Very nice! Plenty to keep my 4 & 6 year old grandsons active & happy for several hours

Our kids love visiting this children's museum! So many fun things to do and try that they never get bored! They outside play area is super fun and much taller than most normal park style play areas. The only thing that we don't like is that I can't take my 1 year old to play in the toddler area usually since it's just me with my three kids. It's hard to let her play in her element while her brothers (5&6) aren't allowed in.

This is definitely a 5-star museum. My family had such an amazing visit. My son was there for several hours and he loved every minute. It is very spacious so it does not feel crowded. I liked how the water area was separate from the other areas. The outside was really nice with many activities. It was nice that the carousel and theater were included. It was also a good place for different ages of kids. My 6-year-old can enjoy it here for years.

This place is truly amazing. They have so many hands in activities that you could spend a whole day here and still come back and play with and at new areas. They have a really great play area with a play garage, diner, ambulance, dentist office and more. Upstairs is some okay areas, a game room, and a Mars simulation area. They also have the coolest escape mystery area in the back for older kids. Outside when there is nice weather they have a huge carousel and an additional playground. I really wish I lived closer because this place is truly awesome.

This place is incredible! We've been to many children's museums all over (pretty much anytime we are on vacation somewhere, we visit the local children's museum) and this one is definitely top notch! It's very spacious and clean. It never felt crowded. The play equipment is really good quality. The staff was friendly and helpful and didn't seem annoyed at having to clean up after all the kids. I watched a group of kids create a huge mess in the grocery store play area, and the staff just patiently cleaned it all up. We were here for 4 hours and didn't even get through everything. The carousel outside was stunning and the operator even offered to take our picture for us. I wish we lived here because we would totally be here every weekend!

I have to say that this is one amazing place to take your littles, and it seems to have stations that would hold the interest of elementary kids as well. First of all, it is clean and well staffed with smiling, helpful people. The lady at the snack bar let our little take her snack to the table with grandma while I paid for it, then cut open the juice box for us to Pitt it into our soppy cup, AND offered water to water it down if we'd like(we did like!) Later, we were in the water table section, and smiling young men and women continuously mopped the floors and retrieved toys. This was our girl's favorite section. My girl has autism, at one point she bumped her knee and started a full on cry. The Museum's section worker came around the corner to offer her assistance. They got us into the manager's office where they brought us juice, a first aid kit, and other items to help distract her, but gave her space so that we could help her calm down. Afterwards, the manager offered us noise cancellation headphones, if they would help. She asked what they could do to make the experience better and more inclusive. Megan and her staff were simply exceptional people, and we'll definitely be back!!

Love this place ! $12 to get in, indoor and outdoor activities including carousel. Clean, lots of staff tidying up, hand sanitizers. Modern, fun activities like STEM play, huge water table, little town and mystery games. Surprising amount of activities all ages would enjoy. Enjoyable time as an adult ! Must do young family activity in the triad.

We used to really love this place. We have been coming since they opened and have been members from the start. Our membership ran out over the summer while we were busy with camps and outdoor activities so you can imagine the absolute SHOCK I experienced when I arrived today and was informed of the astronomical price increase on the family memberships! FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS for a family of 5 that includes 2 people that really only need to be added on the rare occasion that they are able to join the smaller children in the family. On top of this, they no longer allow outside food to be brought in, but it seems they really only enforce that rule for a select few. The woman that approached our table today had quite the smug look when she condescendingly told me "we have picnic tables in the parking lot where you can eat." IN THE PARKING LOT??!! You have got to be kidding me! I have a child with sensory issues that could not care less about your offerings of microwaved pretzels or overpriced energy drinks. You would think that after the hundreds of dollars spent to re-up our membership, my 2-yo child would be allowed to enjoy her yogurt pouch in peace. I would also like to reference an early review that mentioned the poor upkeep of all the attractions. For the amount of money that is paid to this establishment, I would expect there to be regular cleaning and replacement of broken and dirty toys. I understand how hard kids are on just about everything, but by the sheer number of cars in the parking lot leaving little to no parking for anyone else, you would assume the revenue was far beyond what is needed to basic repairs and upkeep. Megan, if you are the one responding to all of the reviews and seem to be the one running the show, I would greatly appreciate a good explanation and probably a refund on my membership. Greensboro science center and many other kid-friendly establishments are much more accommodating.

This place is INCREDIBLE. It has everything a young child can possibly dream of. Definitely make reservations in advance but expect to spend 3 to 4 hours here. So clean and the people are so friendly and everything is well stocked. We drove from Concord for this and I wish we had this close to us. I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Absolutely worth a visit.

Great place for kids and families! We went there in Sunday and it was a hit for my 6 years old. Tons of fun stuff to do.

It's great museum for little kids and raining days. Too pricey for what they have. Great for trying new things. We been there once and not planning visit second time.

So much to keep your kids entertained great space and clean as well! We can't wait to come back!!

The Nido and Qubein Children's Museum was truly a fantastic experience for the whole family. It is located in central High Point, NC, and was easy to access as we were coming from Winston-Salem, and the drive took only around 30 minutes. Parking was also straightforward and free, which was an added bonus. Walking into the museum, you were immediately greeted by life-size dinosaurs and the exciting outside play area. The staff was also wonderful and incredibly friendly. They were willing to answer any questions that arose when touring the exhibits and ensured our visit went smoothly. There were so many hands-on and interactive activities that even made the adults want to join in on the fun! Most of our favorite exhibits were located in the museum's STEAM lab, especially MARS Academy. The double-decker carousel was definitely one of the highlights of the visit as well. Parents can ride with the kiddos on the carousel, which was also quite fun. As stated in some other reviews, it was helpful to buy tickets in advance since it can be pretty popular, especially on the weekends. Overall, a wonderful time and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area!
