My 5 1/2 year old loved the exhibits here, but was frustrated when some of them were not working properly. We would have loved to explore the outside exhibit, but it's only open in July and August. More

My brother and I used to spend a lot of time here as kids. I remembered it fondly so I took my Goddaughter who had as good of a time as I used to. We spent a lot of time with the bubbles and phones! She was two and 1/2 at the time so she went to a special play... More

Kids love this place because they can touch things!!Lot's of interactive features. They can even go into a room and be weather reporters and news anchors (with green screen and all). However, I think their birthday parties are quite pricey but for a day trip its a lot of fun! They also have a great alternative to neighborhood trick or... More

This is a great museum for children under 8 years old. They have many different all hands on exhibits and some climbing activities. For the very young they offer a special section almost like an indoor playground which is wonderful. Great time for the kids and a bit of a break for the parents. Great on a cold winter day! More

fantastic and comprehensive children's museum with a nice focus on the local environment. Tot spot is a hit for kids five an under- free with admission but you need a timed ticket. My kids were sad to outgrow it. Great shows, bubble room, wood workshop, blocks, computer learning games, handicapped accessible house and climb through maze make this a top... More

Hands are welcome at this interactive museum. Even the most exuberent youngsters find time to stop and explore. There is an indoor playground, lots of exhibits and experiments, and many colorful objects to keep your child entertained while learning how things work. Not too expensive, you can go back again and again! More
