Brought my 18m old and even though the place is a little smaller than I expected I feel like she had plenty to do and even I learned and had fun!
Great indoor and outdoor spaces for kids to explore. Friendly staff. Wish there was better food options onsite or nearby
Second time visiting with my toddler twins in two years...just not impressed. Granted my children are still young, but having visited a lot of museums and having worked as a curator earlier in my career, I just feel underwhelmed by this place. There’s a lot of dead space, the exhibits don’t flow, and some “exhibits” are oversimplified playroom stuff, and have no place in a museum. Granted a lot of areas were closed due to COVID, but I had the same reaction last year too. I honestly only returned because it was free and not a lot is open right now. Oh, and the regular entry price (currently suspended for the summer) is ridiculous. With a more thoughtful design approach and research, it could be worthwhile. They should look to the Children’s Museum and Museum of Science for inspiration. And lower the price permanently.
Something for all ages. The new building and the outdoor spaces give the mind a creative learning cerebral space. Social emotional development is amazing here just the way they facilitate play. As an adult, the set to is great enough that anyone can watch over that with allowance for autonomy to go on their own, within the space. Creates independence and growth for any child. Gift shop is adorable. Recommended for all ages.
Fun educational activities for my 3 year old. The outdoor Discovery Woods is the best!
