I love the story time room, the grocery store , the eye doctor , the ancient different culture homes, the water play area and so much more.. My 2 children and nephews loved every part of it.

Great museum of children! Interactive exhibits and over 22,000 square feet of area for kiddos to explore. Daily programming and summer camps available too!

It's a real rule - no adults can enter without a child, ages birth to 10. It might sound like it's meant to be amusing, but it's an actual safety rule.

K12 Inc

Did you know? The idea of a museum designed specifically for children has been around for 112 years. The world’s first children’s museum opened in Brooklyn, NY in 1899.

The last hour is pay by donation but paying regular price is worth it. You can easily spend two hours here.

Raki Ilustre

The chicken pie was absolutely satisfying. ????????????????

Shelly Strobeck

Used to come here when I was a kid. Took my daughter for the first time. Decent but not overly impressed as I was when I was little. Hopefully your kid's imagination will make up for what's lacking.

Fahad San

This a great place, for children's to release their energy

No coffee allowed in? They charge a lot & clearly don't want to be bothered w/ ppl's hypothetical spills. Maybe put it on the website or outside in the center so you can see it before you get there.

If you're making Imagination Studio crafts, try for an early session do there is time for paint or clay to dry.

Travis Windleharth

Great, except that there is no nursing room . Sad, for a place with infant spaces.

April Drake

has separate area for baby/toddlers so the big kids can't bowl them over! best to NOT visit on the weekends when it is crazy.

Santhosh Paramesh

Pretty run down and not much parent seating. Get cozy cross-legged on the floor.

Jenn Wood

Use your EBT/QWEST card and only pay a dollar per person.
