What parents highlight
“The outside area is massive for the little ones & they really can get a feel for exploring the grounds a bit on the outside area of the place.”
“The lady that talked to us while we were there was very knowledgeable, very much worth the price of going in, which was extremely reasonable.”
What parents say
We had a birthday party for my daughters here last weekend and it was a hit. The space was perfect, and the young lady who helped was amazing. I wish I could remember her name. She helped me with decorations, gathering everyone for cake, and clean up. Everyone who came loved the whole experience.
A really awesome place to burn a few hours. They have yearly memberships which is totally worth it after 3 visits. Tons of activities for the kids and they always have events going on. Not a lot of parking in the lot but good street parking close by.
This the second time I have been here! Such a great place to take your little ones to play indoors when cold outside or too hot for the park! Plenty of activities, the price is great, and it is an all day pass for people who might be visiting Galveston!
Great inexpensive activity for kids. It's a small children's museum but has a surprising amount of activities. We took a 4 year old and 8 year old and both had a blast. The adults get to enjoy some history outside and you can always pay more for the Moody Mansion tour upstairs.
