What parents say

The Museum of Natural Curiosity is an engaging and creative place, especially for families. I’ve visited with kids, and it’s easy to spend several hours exploring without running out of things to do. The exhibits are interactive and thoughtfully designed, which keeps everyone engaged.

★★★★★ — Cole, Dec 2025

I've loved going here for the last 10 ish years. They have very kind staff, activities for a range of ages, and enough diversity to keep you occupied for a few hours. I would suggest getting there at opening to avoid the crowds that come an hour or two later.

★★★★★ — Jose, Mar 2026

The Museum of Natural Curiosity is such a fun spot for kids (and adults too). There’s so much to do—climbing, exploring the rainforest, playing in Kidopolis, splashing around in Water Works, and tons more. Every section is hands-on and keeps the kids busy while they’re actually learning, which is the best part.

★★★★★ — Tan., Sep 2025

This museum is always fun for kids at all ages! They have little toddlers areas through the museum, an enclosed/safe never ending climbing area that it's about three floors height. They have a water playing area for kids all ages great for all year round. If you use the water area, bring changing clothes for after.
