What parents say
A sweet and happy place for children to play. The staff member, Rachel, was super friendly and helpful. She answered all our questions and engaged the kids in conversation. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this place for families with children.
Small museum that is very good for toddlers and younger children. Has a nice outdoor play area. This is a great museum for young kids who like to use their imaginations. At only $8.00 for admission, it's definitely worth a morning or rainy day.
We used library passes to get inside so entry was free. There is a lot to do here for kids ages 2-8. My daughter is 8 and she was almost to big for the activities. Pack your lunch and drinks. They have drinks there but you need to have a minimum purchase with card. Staff is friendly and the place is clean.
Excellent place for small children. There were some really nice play areas where children can play and learn about different types of stuff ranging from planting veggies to fire trucks and boats. Best for toddlers. They have story time and a small shop for snacks.
Bringing a toddler?
Reviews and the venue's own info mention a dedicated toddler area or toddler times at Niantic Children's Museum — a separate space where little ones can play without dodging big kids.
