What parents say
Kids visited this place after a long time. I guess they may be in a stroller or very young initially when I brought them. Brought back many memories. The place was still hustling and bustling with kids, grandparents, parents and caretakers. Very well maintained and super informative.
Really neat place to take kids, lots of interactive activities, friendly staff, lots of parking. Great place to take the kids for a few hours. Kids can touch things, play with the displays, lots more than I show in my pics. I was fascinated with how good the Taxidermy, absolutely amazing
Had a great time taking my almost 2 year old here! Loved the Playspace for kids 0-6, seeing the bald eagle,owls & turtles, and of course riding the train! It was the perfect place for a rainy afternoon. We got the tickets online before we came and bought the train passes w/cash on arrival once we knew the schedule.
With a 3.5 year old, we have been visiting a lot of children’s museums. I have to say that this has been my favorite! It’s clean, has lots of interesting and interactive exhibits, everyone there is extremely friendly including the janitors.
