A reviewer down below said the museum is good for a rainy day; well I say it's good ANY day, especially when temps are 90+ degrees outside!! And I think $15/adult is very reasonable when you consider how much the zoo, aquarium and local theme parks cost! My almost 3 year old had a blast, so we'll definitely be back.... More

I have visited this museum many times with my grown children and grandchildren. Even though they are 5 and 7 and usually have a quite short attention span, the children are always the last to want to leave this hands-on museum. I am not sure if this museum is dedicated more to learning or to just plain having fun. There... More

We have three grandkids, ages 2, 3, and 5. After our recent visit to the New York City Kids Museum we were completely surprised and impressed with the quality the Glazer Museum. Perfect for this age group! The staff was plentiful and attentive and very professional with rhe kids. Had a quick lunch at the Subway on the first floor,... More

Good place for 8 and under. Older kids will likely get board. Got many educational exhibits and place is very clean.

I would have given this 5 stars, except it seemed to cost a little too much. Kids are $9.50 each, and adults are $15. Like most of these places, it really pays to get a family pass if you live in the area. A family pass would pay for itself in a couple visits. As tourists, that wasn't an option... More

I went on a rainy Tuesday before lunch, which turned out to be perfect- no crowds. I felt like the price was okay for kids but high for adults and older kids, which I will explain. My son is 20 months old and this place is absolutely outstanding for that age group. I would say this museum is aimed at... More

This museum has a costly entry price and usually overcrowded at all times of the day, it's more of a headache than fun for kids & adults. The sections are great ideas, like the rubber sand "beach," but since only a couple kids and then their adults can squeeze into any section, it's always just kids fighting or getting stepped... More

The first floor aqua-table is unlike anything I've seen at a museum. My boys are 6 and 8 and still could spend an hour on that exhibit alone. We also love the large climbing area. What a great way for kids to learn. This museum is on-par with those that you might find in major cities.

This is one of the greatest places I've ever seen for kids. There are activities for all ages and tastes. I brought my 16 months toddler & he had a blast! Some activities were not interesting to him because of his young age but he had so many others to choose from. He loved the water station on the first... More
