What parents say

Wow!! What a wonderful place! We took our 2 year old here and he loved it! He could just run around the whole time and play, nothing could hurt him. It was super clean and such a great place for toddlers and young children to use their IMAGINATION!!! They have a paint area, a drawing area, a place to write.

Incredible outdoor sensory play area with water sand and paint activities for the kids. The indoor portion is pretty small, just one room, but it is great also. It has a train area and a shopping cart area. I will definitely be back in the cooler months. Storytime is at 9.30 and activities at 10am.

★★★★★ — Lisa, Aug 2025

Fun for kids under 5. Smaller than the Tucson Children’s museum but tailored to toddlers. Story time and crafts.

★★★★★ — Dawn, Sep 2019

This is a fun mostly outdoor children's museum. Very cool and fun place for the kids! We can while visiting in town, and we don't have anything like this. Although most of it is outside, it is covered by plants or a canopy. You do have to pay at the main entrance of the gardens to get to it.
