What parents say
This is a wonderful place to take your kids. Very clean! Very educational! Food was great as well! My kids and I loved it!!!
I took my 8 year old & 4 year old there for the first time today. They absolutely loved it! Their favorite part was the ball factory for sure.
This well-designed children's museum is a fusion of sciences and arts, making learning interactive and fun. However, it is not just a museum but a playground for the curious mind. It's a place that promotes learning through play, nourishing creativity, and encouraging exploration.
Had a wonderful morning here with my 2 and 5 year old while visiting from out of town. Spent two hours, could have easily been entertained all day long. Didn't even make it to the water portion before nap time.
