The Original Playhouse Children's Museum

What a wonderful place for little kids! My 3 girls have loved coming here since they were toddlers. The owner is so nice and helpful. The rooms are filled with fun toys but are not cluttered. There are educational toys but also just fun make believe dress up spaces too!

Took the kids here today when we couldnt get into the place we wanted to originally go. It was very nice for kids I recommend it highly for toddlers. My kids love dressing up in the costumes and playing in the water tables. Very reasonably priced too.

How did I know know about this place sooner. Great outing for you and your toddler or small child. Went to a birthday party there very fun for little ones. Staff very friendly and interactive

Having been to other children's museums, this one allows the kids to use their full imagination instead of relying on high tech exhibits with lights and sound to hold their attention. The outdoor section of the children's museum was well constructed and each of the different rooms was well balanced in terms of it's own unique theme and space to exhibit ratio. Highly recommend stopping in here if you're passing through or if you live locally and have never been before. Your kids will love it.

My wife and I have taken our 3 year old granddaughter to what she calls 'the museum' 3 times in the last few months. It's a lovely place for toddlers which provides several unique rooms on two floors with plenty of space for the little ones. The owners have combined history, art, and anthropology in the various play-spaces which makes for a number of wonderful teaching moments for both parent and child. Our granddaughter loves the little stage on the second floor with the costume collection that is provided for the children to use. The first floor has what we consider the 'project room' which has various art supplies, small stools and a large table for the children to be creative on. Outside in the back is a controlled play area for children to explore and play in the 'castle' as weather and season permit. The Children's Museum in Newmarket is absolutely a wonderful place. It caters to toddlers and brand new toddlers so there isn't the problem of mixing much older children with the little ones, The owners frequently change the themes in the upstairs rooms with hand made and absolutely terrific creations. This month Michelangelo and the Renaissance are part of the fun and there's even a mini replica of the Duomo for the children to play around and (both parent and child) learn about. The Children's Museum is a relaxed, safe, age appropriate and welcoming place to bring your under 5 year old. I strongly recommend a visit.
