What parents say

What a great place for kids (obviously) but adults too! It is a very interactive museum with a ton of sensory areas for kids. The wait wasn’t long for us and as soon as you enter you have three levels of pure fun-from hands on activities to climbing areas, and even an awesome funky slide.

★★★★★ — Amber, Mar 2025

This is a great place to bring kids to enjoy hands-on exhibits through various types of play. There are three full levels of rooms to explore, as well as a large play area in the middle. There may not be as much for older kids (11+), but it will depend on their interests.

★★★★★ — Lisa, Jul 2025

We came here with my 3 year old, she had a blast! We spent most of the day there (we left to get lunch as there isn't a cafe on site) She was a little small for the large slide which was a shame. She loved the art corner and the water play section. All toilet facility were clean.

★★★★☆ — Jessica, Oct 2025

We had an amazing experience at Port Discovery Children’s Museum! The museum is incredibly engaging, educational, and perfectly designed for children of all ages. Every floor is full of hands-on activities that encourage creativity, learning, and imagination.
