They refused entry into the museum because my 19 year daughter didn't have a kid with her. I called them and asked them why they denied her entry and they said "because she did not have a child with her to go in." The lady said "They had problems with people before so they won't let any one in without a child now." I said that is isn't on a website and she said that she would email somebody about the situation. She was very disrespectful and talked to me like I was a child. My daughter traveled very far to get there and had to go back home. I hope they will improve in the future. Very terrible experience.
It's okay. Small compared to what I'm use to coming from the Baltimore area. Went with my grandson on his Field trip. It was good for a half day but I couldn't see spending an entire day there, at least not while responsible for a group of kids. Would be better to enjoy as a family and when it is warmer out to enjoy the outdoor area. The kids enjoyed it, tho.
The museum is a great learning adventure for the kids. There's so many things to do! They also host special events, while we were there, we got to pet a real live penguin from the Newport Aquarium.
It's nothing like the Indianapolis location. Worst experience ever! Barely anything there and nothing educational at all.
It's ok if you've been more than a couple times, you're not so interested in going back. They need to update badly.
Kids had a blast! I agree with most everybody though, it has a ton of potential but is outdated and needs some love
It's pretty cool but would be better with a little maintenance. The water table only 1/2 works and is falling apart. The model trains don't work well either. On the positive side; very inexpensive. Only $18 for 2 adults and 2 kids with a coupon.
Most interactive displays did not work or were damaged. Staff was nice though.
Fun place to bring the little ones every once in awhile. A lot of the stuff seems pretty dated though, an update to more modern things would make this place a blast!
Our toddler loved it. Lots of different activities and things to learn.
Small children's museum but worth a trip. A good variety of activities including a small learning city, animals a unique playground a construction city. It's getting worn down and old but still can be fun.
It's a great place to take a young toddler and kids up to about 12. They have one Saturday per month free, which you can check their website for information on.
You MUST park around back or in the parking garage. The only entrance is on Liberty Avenue. You cannot park by the front entrance. It is for private apartments and you WILL get towed.
Inside it's not very big but they have a giant train set, an ant wall to climb, slides and toys for "5 and under" section, an outdoor play area, local historical items and information, and an upstairs play area.
You can rent some of the party rooms for birthdays and such.
