Great Place to bring the kids. Lots of stuff to do and friendly staff . Very random stuff and no where to buy food

Dave Counotte

Take your kids for an educational trip to this interactive museum . Big play ground on site or pretend you work for a store, garage or courthouse . There is a little "zoo " upstairs also.

Sabiene Caroliene

Lots of exhibits to explore, a play area for children and a small lunchroom upstairs. A room for animals here too.

Morgan Perryman

We like going here, but they need to change more on regular basis. It gets old to do the same things again and again. The attractions also look worn now. we would come more if they had food.

Chris Cegielski

It’s not at the high end of children’s museums that we’ve visited but far from the bottom. Pretty good variety of exhibits to keep children busy and learn while doing so.

Museum recently was awarded a 4 yr NASA grant to build an Exoplanets Exploration exhibit . An exoplanet (extrasolar planet) is a planet outside the solar system. As of today, 516+ are known to exist. Read more

Please clean up after using the activity areas. It's no fun to have to pick up items from the floor in the grocery or pizza making before you can even play!

Marty Snyder

Great experience. Definitely a place to visit if in Dayton, Ohio. Several hangars of full size planes, drones and other artifacts from the history of the Air Force. Worth seeing and no charge to see! - AndrewGroveSanAntonio Grove
