We took the grandson here. Even though it was noisy for him (autistic), he was able to find a location in the museum that wasn't quite as noisy for him. He thoroughly enjoyed himself and liked the c… Full review by nanaof1boy3girls

We’ve been to children’s museums across the country and sadly this was among the most expensive but also the worst. Our youngest son uses a wheelchair and couldn’t really interact with anything. Yes,… Full review by Jessica E

Overpriced and over crowded. Parking sucks too. There isn’t much for kids under the age of 5. Most of the parents that go here just let their kids run a muck and it’s chaos. Full review by Miranda M
Planning on going for the free Tuesday night in August from 4-8pm. Visiting from out of state. I assume it will be packed. My kids are also 1 (just started walking), 3, 5 and 7. I also assume the 5 and 7 old would want to do the climbing stuff that the younger 2 can't do. Is the setup such that you can have the younger kids play nearby what the older kids are doing (we have multiple adults to watch the kids but would like to keep them in the general proximity). It also looked like the younger kids stuff have age restrictions where my oldest wouldn't be able to do either.

If the weather is nice the outside section will allow everyone to find something to enjoy. The have a huge sand pit, a stream you can float boats down, a little slide, a zip line swing and then a huge new outdoor climbing section. I’m not sure how the climbing section works as I believe it’s for kiddos 5 and up. I think you may have to sign up for a slot or perhaps wait in line to use it and I imagine at that time it would be packed. Think of the inside of the museum as a house with lots of different rooms. So feasibly you could be standing between two rooms and have happy kiddos in each room and be able to see all of them. There is a room that focuses on energy where the big kiddos could design and launch their own paper rockets (think paper airplanes) and 5 feet away is a huge lite bright that my 2 year old loves! There is also a big art room with modeling clay, paint, and markers/crayons/colored pencils etc that likely all the kids could find something they enjoy doing.

It is 100% dependent on your child. As a teacher I have 4th grade students who could spend an entire day there, 100% engaged the entire time. These students tend to be filled with wonder and imagination and love to tinker. I have other students who, while desperately needing to engage themselves in those types of activities, never could because they spend their lives at home on electronics and the word "boring" would escape their lips minutes from entry to the Children's Museum, not for lack of things to do, but rather for lack of any desire to engage unless highly entertained. I have a 7 year old, who, depending on the day, can run the full spectrum from one end to the other. You know your own child best.
Hi! I was wondering how long I should plan on spending here with my kiddos? (They are 4 and 18 months). Thanks. :) Also, can we leave and come back in the same day?

This answer is from Ruth. I took my two-year-old grandson there, and we stayed for two hours. He was fully engaged the entire time. There are at least 20 different exhibits, all that are interactive for children. And, yes, you can leave and come back the same day.
