What parents say

Great place for children 1-7 maybe 8. They have many sectioned play areas with relevant toys and books including a small outside area. For my current two year old, the membership is well worth it since they open an hour early on weekdays for members only.

★★★★☆ — Tiana, Jun 2022

Best interactive place to bring kids under 8 years old. With the new expansion it now has more play areas than ever AND it has a Planetarium! My 5 year old and 3 year old have been coming consistently for almost two years and LOVE IT!!

★★★★★ — Mccall, Sep 2024

Really awesome play place for toddlers/kids but... Quite a bit overpriced. Charging for parents is not right. And when you charge for parents, at least don't ask them to clean up the mess too.

★★★★★ — Gwen, Apr 2022

Our little man loved it. We have been to a ton of children's museums and while this one isn't the best, it's still really good especially for the price. We got a membership and it'll pay for itself in just area visits. I wish the hours were a little better but that's about it.
