This place is simply amazing. I had as much fun as my 5 year old running around in this place. It would be best to pack your lunch to save some extra bucks.

Sara Black

If you're not a crowd person (i.e. want to avoid rambunctious field trippers who run into your child with disregard) I highly recommend attending the museum after 12:30 pm. It quiets down for a bit.

They have excellent school holiday kids’ camps for children 5-8 throughout the school year. Great place to send the munchkins whenever they have a day off school and you don’t.

Desiree Gaston

Looking to entertain the little ones? Trek over to the Children's Museum for some fun and hands on activities. Check their calendar online for their daily activities and events .

We went as a family for the first time and the visit was awesome! My son didn't want to leave.

Amber Triniere

Originally operated without a physical location, they used schools and the community outreach until they got enough funds until 2008. Now this is what I call coming together for a great cause.

Ryan Svoboda

What a cool place to let your kids burn a few hours of energy. They will love every minute.

Stacy Dobbins

This is an awesome place to take your kids. I recommend dressing them in bright colors so you can find them easily in the crowded play areas .

Larry Cummings

The new climber is amazing and much of it is adult friendly . There's even an "observation" area on the third floor of the museum where you can walk out over the climber and watch many of the kids with

My 8 year old didn't want to leave. One of the highlights of our Phoenix trip. Definitely worth it, plan for 2.5-3 hours of adult down time.

Let your crawlers roam around a room full of fuzzy balls and run their hands through a tree trunk made from different kinds of brushes. They’ll have so much fun discovering new objects!

Jaimie Moskovich

Love this place, I wish I knew about it years ago when my now 9 year old brother was younger. Literally everything is interactive.

Nicole Powers

We love the 3 and under room when the museum gets too crowded with field trips. We have a membership which has more than paid for itself.

Will

Just the right size: enough interaction for the kids, but still able to get them in and out within 2-3 hours

My 2 year old had an amazing birthday party here. There us a "party buddy" there to help with set up, break down, etc. So much fun!

Car wash and the grocery were the big hits! Plan on spending more than a few hours. Kids loved it.

Tons of fun for all ages! But parents please keep your older kids out of the 'baby zones' help keep it fun for all ages :-)

My 5 year old loves it but gets sad when older kids push her and cut in line for things... wish people would supervise their kids.

Well worth it. Fun for the kids plus it's priced low.
