The Iowa Children's Museum

Took my 3 1/2 year old son for the first time. He loves it especially the skateboard room and the slide. We've been to multiple children's museums and this one is really fun. It's a little smaller than what we're used to but good exhibits.

Accessible. So much to do and see. My kids tend to run from exhibit to exhibit and don’t stay long in one place. My 7 year old likes the “airplane”/“aviation” room best. My 4 year old likes the hospital/ambulance room best. I thought the ambulance was educational for me! So many cool sets and builds!

I have ages 12 to 2 and they absolutely love this place. They learn so much through play. There is so much more than what I shared in these pictures and each time we go, we spend time in different rooms. The only downfall is having a store that kids can run into right by the entrance/exit.

My kids (2 and 4) love the children’s museum. There are tons of activities geared towards their ages (and older). Many different activity rooms - farm, trains, grocery store, hospital, rocket ship, airplanes, skate boards, etc. mostly non digital activities (which is great), but there are a couple interactive screens.
