Very nice kids museum. My 5 and 7 year old had a great time, lots to do, varied activities. Some centers were broken, but the kids don't notice. A very good way to spend an afternoon with your kiddos.

Had a lot more exhibits than I was expecting. It entertained my kids (whose ages are from 3 to 10).

We hadn’t been here for several years, and recently (last week) took our 4 year old. Boy was I shocked…. Everything was dirty, many of the exhibits didn’t work, things were just broken and thrown around. Not near as many exhibits as I remember from several years ago. The main attraction was still the supermarket… our son loved it, but the felt vegetables were dirty and gross. The plastic food/fruit felt very sticky like it had not been cleaned in a while. It was pretty sad really. It used to be such a fun place 😞 The fire truck and helicopter outside was a nice addition! I hope some day funding will help bring this back to where it once was.

Hello all! Thanks for the question Andrew. It looks like MK provided the link to all of our pricing. Wanted to let everyone know that we are not free on Thursdays. However, Scovill Zoo does offer free admission on Thursdays during the Summer.
