What parents say

Pretty nice museum! I frequent Imagine Children’s museum now that I live up in Everett, But I came to this one a couple of times before moving. It is smaller than Seattle Children’s Museum and Imagine. But still worth coming to if you live near it.

★★★★☆ — Mike, Dec 2024

Went on a weekday, our first time here, and my little one is 11months old. She loved walking around and exploring. The water area was her favorite. Clean facility, and staff are very friendly.

★★★★★ — Tiffany, Aug 2024

A wonderful place for kids to have fun and learn! There are art activities, a big climbing structure, water experiments, and many other things to explore. It’s easy to spend a couple of hours here - there’s a lot going on!

★★★★★ — Anastasiia, Jul 2025

Children's Museum for free! Yep! They ask for donation and I was happy to donate! The staff are courteous and helpful and even caution the unruly kids running around! Water play area is definitely the most high activity zone. My kid almost spent an hour playing in that area.
