Not a member and we parked just outside using the park's street parking along main road. Well organized children museum with lots of theme. Great details in each room, our kids loved the events offered every hour or so.

Can a 17 year old go with adhd and sore has autism spectrum disorder

Julia | Oct 3, 2021
Tony Perez | Oct 3, 2021

Yes, but with a few suggestions: 1. Go at opening. The crowds are much smaller and the child will have more access to toys/activities to try. 2. If they are okay with masks. The museum is really big on children over 2 wearing masks. My son is 2 and a half and they asked me to mask him. He was actually okay with it though. He took it off a few times and nobody bothered us, but they do want the effort made. 3. There is a big "through the looking glass" display full of activities. It is very impressive but there are varying levels of low light, life size characters, a maze, mirror wall, and a forced perspective room that makes children feel like the room gets smaller as you go in. It's a really great display, but some of this can make some children nervous. There are many great activities, so check online for art classes and other demonstrations. Have a great time!!

What is the suggested age range of children?

Maryann Rizzuto | Oct 4, 2018
Sarah Smith | Oct 4, 2018

Birth to maybe seven or eight years of age. Older siblin up to about ten years old will be entertained by many of the areas. My grandsons range in age from two to ten and leaving is always a problem no matter how long we've been there. The older one engages with the younger ones and doesn't appear to feel awkward. There are special areas for the under three crowd with a height and age restriction so the big kids don't run over them. You will also find a few areas of interest for the grown-ups. There's a small cafe area and a gift shop, too.

What's access card

Javayiah Tompkins | Oct 4, 2018
Sarah Smith | Oct 4, 2018

An access card is like an atm/debit/Mac card. If you receive TANF (cash) or SNAP (food stamps) benefits from the government you have an access card. It's used to make purchases. Many museums in the Philadelphia area allow up to four paid admissions with your card. Each person would pay $2.00. So you and three others can enjoy a visit for a total of $8.00. The person who's name is on the card must be with you and will be asked to show I.D. It's an amazing program designed to support, encourage and make it possible for low income people to enjoy some of the best parts of Philadelphia (Philly) and it's surrounding area. Spread the word!

Is my 6 month old son too small to visit this museum?

Jaimie Thomas | Oct 4, 2017
Nirmal s. | Oct 4, 2017

They have some toddler sections where he'll might like to play. Just keep a lookout for any small things he doesn't try to put in mouth. We went with our 2 year old daughter. Otherwise, it's a good place for everyone to see and explore. There are some pictures online that show some areas of the museum. Hope this helps.
