Not what it used to be. Half of the stuff doesn't work and missing alot of attractions. My son had fun with the dinosaur room but he couldn't do much else. My son might not know what he's missing but I do. It's sad ad I loved the place as a kid.

Great discovery museum! We were able to get our kids (4 and 7) go and run and read and play. It was a really great for them and they ran themselves silly. And, as parents who were already tired and a tad grumpy, the only thing that could have made it better for us would have been a small bar. We all had a great time and will continue to go back and support.

A fabulous place, and I highly recommends families to check it out. This Children Museum is consists of three floors. Each floors have different themes, and a lot hands on activists. My 5 years old love it, and we all enjoys our family fun educational time there. They also have some of non-furry ANIMALS We have some amazing friends like lizards turtles and snakes. The staff members were so welcoming and friendly. Reservations are currently required to visit the museum Because of COVID-19, they also have two different sections, morning and afternoon these are their new hours. New Hours Wednesday - Saturday Morning: 10 AM - 1 PM Closed from 1 PM - 2 PM Afternoon: 2 PM - 5 PM

Took my boys there and they had fun but the place is a bit run down. Most of the interactive exhibits were broken or just not there. The entire place could use a cleaning top to bottom. The area with the puppets was dirty and disgusting. The puppets get a lot of use it seems and have a layer of greasy filth attached to them. The water wheel featuredidnt even have a had pump to make the wheel work. It looked like where the pump was supposed to be was capped off. I paid 22 dollars to get in I don't feel that it was worth it. If the tickets were free then maybe. The place needs to clean up and repair the broken exhibits. All that said, there was still some interesting stuff to see it wasn't all bad. But it's just not worth the price for admission if they don't keep up the facilities.

They were a few weeks ago. I'm not sure about now.

What does this place have for toddlers? My daughter will be 2 in August so I was wondering what adventures there were for her to enjoy!
