Nice little children's museum. We've been to children's museums all over the country and this is pretty standard. Smaller but they utilize the space well. My son appreciated the amount of puzzles and building opportunities that were available, along with the free-play/imagination space.

Fun and engaging kids musuem and well worth the visit. individual areas are fun and engaging for the kids but not as big as expected. About 1 to 2 solid hours of fun is what i would expect from any visit.

This place is what dreams are made of. Slow down and enjoy each activity. It'll bring out the child in you while you transform your little cyber child into a creator. Thank you for the many wonderful, crafty ideas!

Both of our children have loved this museum through the years. The water room remains the most popular spot. We normally wear a bathing suit and swim shoes to go, start in the water room, change up and head upstairs. That's a perfect break for a snack or lunch. There's a dining area and you can bring your own food. We always find playmates and there's plenty of toys and props for everyone.

It’s a nice children’s museum and it is clean inside. It is popular and a lot of children inside, the parking is limited and not much left to park. The staff are very nice and keep this museum safe and comfortable, there are a lot to play . Including the water area, historical area, scientific area, etc. it’s a good place to stop and let the children to play around 1 hour.

The location was undoubtedly a delightful place to visit, filled with enjoyable experiences. However, it offered a relatively limited range of activities. I think it would benefit them to introduce a wider variety of engaging options, particularly for children aged six and older. Additionally, there’s potential for some creative and interesting ideas for play areas that could enhance the overall experience for kids.

It was more of an indoor playground than a museum. Some activities weren’t open, not working properly, or broken. Staff were helpful and friendly. Easy and dedicated parking. $16 per child or adult which we felt was a lot for what this museum has to offer.

I took my 4 year old here a few weeks ago and we had an absolute blast exploring the children's museum together. It has multiple levels with a lot to learn and do. We had a lot of fun in the water room, enjoyed building walls and knocking them down upstairs and my son really enjoyed playing with the pipes to make his own track. We spent about 2-3 hours here, which was plenty of time to explore everything and work up a good appetite for lunch.
