Take a deep breath and mute the sudden urge to use desinfecting wipes... my kid was very entertained. For a rainy afternoon, I felt like there weren't too many people, which was nice. Def recommend!

Enzro Greenidge

We visited on twice it was so good. I have 2 daughter 3 and 4, they both loved it. They where never bored. They ran from area to area. Their joy was palpable. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Amanda Williams

Fun interactive children's museum with lots of great spaces for kids to explore. Dora floor, fire engine , sand tables, painting on the white board and splash in the summer are our highlights.

Pavel Lishin

There's a playground type area on the second, third and fourth floors - the third floor one is the best for tiring your kid out. But avoid the sand pit! Fun, but low energy play hides there.

The water tables at City Splash are perfect for the little ones on a hot day. Inside was a little too crazy with older kids overtaking the under 4 Playworks exhibit .

Ece Sezgin

We loved it in here! Money well spent! Definitely deserves it. Especially on a rainy day! Wanna go back there again and again ????????????????????

Chen Zhang

It is an absolutely fun place for small kids, although tickets @$12 is too expensive . Buying their membership package would be much more economical.

Dolores

4 floors -Lots of things to do! My 2 yr old grandson had a blast... However, many older kids running around makes it a little unnerving.

MetroFocus

Children crawl through mouths to learn about digestion, join a pottery class , or draw her own version of a classic Chagall painting at the Children’s Museum .

Ashley Gammie

Great warm weather spot. Fun for kids who like to "drive" cars.

Annabel Barnes

Remember to leave your stroller at home or bring a fold-up! Our FAVORITE museum doesn't have enough space for hundreds of strollers , so we leave our stroller at the free coat check facility.

Kimberlee Jackson

Loads of fun but unlike the other museums in the city there's no cafe that's a bummer

An amazing place to take the young ones. Was the highlight of our trip for my little one .

Brian Chase

Good for kids 8 and under. Older kids get bored quickly.

New Victory

Make sure to check the events calendar when you come. There's always way more going on than just the exhibits--like workshops downstairs with New Vic Teaching Artists !

It’s not big but surely could keep the kids happy for a full day indoor fun!

Warning for first time goers : It looks like a school so kids on line may or may not tantrum !!!

Aaren Kokubun

Eat before or after your visit, there is no eating in the museum

Kevin O'Neill

As a parent you're crazy to come here. It's madness. But I'll admit my kid can't stop talking about the fire truck and asks at least once a week to come back. Sigh, use disinfecting wipes aggressively

Henry C

Richard Kind must live around here. Saw him twice

NRWGourmet

This is definately not a place for a nine year old! I would say 6 and under!

garrett ewald

Good exhibit on the human body
