Baraboo Children's Museum

The Children's Museum is amazing! We are so lucky to have a facility like this in our community. Our children love the museum and the staff is always so friendly and personable. They offer wonderful packages for birthday parties and private events(which is awesome during this pandemic). Truly a magnificent place.

Love this place. My daughter is entertained for hours and never wants to leave! So glad we finally have something like this do close!

I took my granddaughter here on 9/19/2020, there were clearly marked signs stating everyone must wear a mask, they had free disposable children's masks available. I paid our $6.00 per person entrance fee. There was a family consisting of a father and four children in the museum, none were wearing masks, the oldest child (apx 10 or 11) was taking everything from the grocery store and bringing it into the barn structure. When my granddaughter went in to use the slide I heard this older child telling my granddaughter not to touch any of the toys since the toys belonged to them. I instructed my granddaughter to stay away from anyone without a mask. The father sat on his phone ignoring his children as they ran through the museum making messes everywhere and not putting anything away. Not one of those children used hand sanitizer, which was available throughout the museum. One boy kept coming up to my granddaughter and hitting her with a toy, I told him to please stay away from us, his father did nothing. The father made a large mess in the painting area and just walked away from it. One of the volunteers at the front desk walked through the museum and said nothing about masks to this family. Other people came in, adhering to the mask mandate, most left soon after arriving. We cut our visit short after it became obvious this father would do nothing about his children's behavior and would not put on masks. To top it off, the oldest of these children removed their socks and shoes and proceeded to run around. These children were also damaging toys and displays. When we left, I complained to the people at the desk about no masks and the barefoot child. A further comment, I do not believe there is any way for this place to be sanitized properly during the pandemic. This was our first time visiting the museum and it will be the last until the pandemic is over.

My sister has a one year old who hasn't been socialize too much with too many kids of different ages. He had a blast meeting new people and playing with everything. So much for him to touch and do for hours. Even open Sunday's?!? AMAZING! Took my big sister and little mister as a surprise and she loved it as well. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much

Huge museum and lots of variety of activities. Great place for many different ages
