Great for all ages!! Best days are during the week in the morning. Also free parking on the side of the street. Free admission for military members
Great place for kids 6 months to 7 years. As your child discovers look for the exhibits of retro toys all around to bring back your childhood. Marcia Marcia Marcia.
They have a delightful puppet theater with several shows a day. It's not well advertised at the museum but the shows are always a hit with the kids. They're worth 30 mins of your time while there.
An amazing place for children ! Train ,bus ,supermarket , Alice in wonderland , Carousel, planets and many more! I enjoyed everything to the fullest!
I love this museum I love that kids have the opportunity to play as much as possible, awesome place for kids!
Lots of stuff for toddlers and big kids. And retro toys on display from the 70s and 80s to entertain patents. A really good museum and a good place to spend several hours.
This place is truly amazing for kids. Crazy overstimulation but in a good way. Worth a driving from central philly.
Visit one of the best children’s museums in the nation. The museum offers interactive exhibits from Rainforest Rhythm to Flight Fantasy, for children to learn through play.
All active duty, National Guard and Reserve military personnel and their families can enjoy free admission from Memorial Day through Labor Day.thanks to the Blue Star Museum program!
Really great place to visit! The children will love it! And they have discount days where all visitors pay $2.00 to attend. Call for more info on those days
A great place to take young kids and adults can learn about this historic building dating back to the Centennial Exhibition in 1876.
Great place for all ages. My 11 month old was able to have fun in the 3-and-under areas. My 15 and 16 year old nieces enjoyed themselves too.
Their theater department is pretty amazing. Their PR department is pretty awesome also. (Mike may or may not know people there and may or may not work there. Guess you'll have to visit to find out.)
Super fun, interactive museum that is fun for all kids and great for family days out!
Amazing place, all hands on kids' museum . Life size replicas of everyday items bring the adult world to children !
Not to be confused with anything unseemly, Please Touch opened in 1976. Memorial Hall being the fourth location, it's perfect to bring the kids for hands-on education . Remember: Bring hand sanitizer.

Took our daycare class here. Was a great time, weekdays were just the right amount of people!
Always look down to make sure you're not walking into any kids. Never move back suddenly, even if a kid is running straight at you. That kid will see you, the one you back into won't.
Did you know? Memorial Hall is the only major building left from the 1876 Centennial Exposition . It cost 1.5 million dollars at the time, and was built without wood and fireproofed.
This place is so awesome for children ages 4-7!!

A must see for your children

The kiddies looooove this place! Great place to bring a child 3+ Fun for adults too!
Free parking on the street directly out front. Save yourself $20.
A lot of money for a mediocre museum . They rate it for ages up to 7, but it seemed like 5 was the top age. Franklin Center is way more fun.
The puppet show has limited seating and recommended for children five and younger.
You can find gluten free food in cafe .
My future husband works his butt off to ensure all consumers have a wonderful experience.

A house museum gem with a ton of events including Bloomsday (June16) and a Dracula Festival. Unique and inspiring - Richard
