What parents say
This place is amazing! It's huge and is filled with so many things for children of all ages to do. I took my nephew who is nearly 2 here and we spent hours exploring and having fun.
My short-attention span toddler and I spent 3 hours here and she could have stayed longer! She got to dress in a space costume, ride a merry-go-round, buy and sell healthy fruits and vegetables, sell train tickets, ride the “train”, play in the dinner, walk through a cave, investigate dinosaur bones, milk a cow,…
Very fun and great way to get out of the hot sun. They also have a small splash pad out front, so bring bathing suits and towels. Parking is free in the parking garage right next to the museum.
My son and I absolutely love this children’s museum! It’s one of our favorite places to go together. Every time we visit, he lights up with excitement—from the hands-on exhibits to the fun play areas designed just for little ones.
