What parents say
Hello mommies and dads. 100% satisfied… I would really say i recommend for ages infants-7year olds…. Age do matter because if you have 8year olds+ they would be less interest…also I went on a Wednesday 10am-1:30pm perfect time.. the museum was not packed, but around 1pm, more families started arriving…..
So many interactive activities for your kids! Definitely more fun for younger (I’d say 8 and under). Perfect for those cold and or rainy days. Do wish parents paid more attention to their kids as some kids are rough lol but that’s not on the museum or staff itself.
This is a perfect place for toddlers! Great entertaining environment. Lots of things to choose from. They have a small gated area for smaller babies as well. $13 for adults and children 1 and up, your toddler will enjoy it.
I was hesitant to bring my 10-yr-old to this museum because the website says it’s geared for children up to age 8. But it was a dreary morning, and we wanted something to do, so we tried it.
