My 5 year old, at the time, was invited to a birthday party here and we were impressed. Have gone back many times. Once was with her entire 1st grade class. If fact, she asked if she could have her birthday party there this year (she will be turning 7). I also have a 8 year old and a 2... More

The museum has something for kids of all ages. My eight year old had a ball with his two year old god-brother (as you can see the age gap). As for me, the parent, i can become a little nerve racking because the kids can easily get out of sight with all the nooks ans crannies on the second level.... More

This place is unbelievable for the kids, you name it and it's here, our son had a chance to do his own cartoon with great inspiration from Marshall Ramsey, artist in residence . If you have children please add this to your must do list while in Jackson. More

We went to the Mississippi Children's Museum with out 2 year old and 4 year old and our neices and nephews who range in age from 8 to 12. Everyone had a good time! The MCM is kept very tidy and clean, unlike some other children's museums I have visited. There are multiple exhibits catering towards the toddler and preschool... More

We became a member of the MS Children's museum after attending a birthday party there. We were so impressed, that we actually just celebrated my son's 3rd birthday there. You have to be a member to have a party. It is only $80 per year for a family of 3. Not bad at all. It is great for rainy days.... More

We have been to the Children's museum 5 or 6 times since it opened. They have worked out the kinks that we noticed in our first few visits. My kids are 4 and 6 and we could literally spend all day in the museum. All of the exhibits are interactive and appeal to a wide variety of ages. Some of... More

The kids love it. But it could be so much more. I think the folks who run the museum should visit some of the museums that hit it out of the park like the ones in Birmingham and Memphis. More

If you get a family pass, be sure to take advantage of the total number of adult passes you get. The extra one(s) are great for grandparents, if they would ever take the kids. My kids at varying ages really enjoyed the activities here. However, at times...it could have been cleaner. But I guess that comes with a hands-on museum. More
