    This is probably the cleanest place in Eugene. It is cleaner than my house. You could lick the slide. I mean, no one ever stops cleaning, it's amazing. Also, it is extremely fun.

    This is a great place to take young kids. There is tons of interactive exhibits and play structures. There's a piano, a stage to perform on, a puppet area, a Lego station and a pirate ship, a train and build-your-own homes. It's a huge place with tons of stuff to get into.

    This is our first time knowing Eugene has a children’s museum!! How fun! Now we don’t have to worried about no place to go when the weather is bad outside. We like how it has number capacity so it is not too crowded. Our little one enjoyed a lot.

    *clean *so much to see and do *crafts *toddler area Our first visit was for a play date for my 3 kids and 6 others. This visit was a first for everyone and all of the kids had a blast and had no desire to leave even after a 2.5 hour visit. There is so much to do that I know the next time we go the kids will be finding new things to do that they overlooked the last time. There are also books and quieter places to sit with your kids if you are looking for that. I really enjoyed the fact that there was a semi-enclosed area for toddlers with comfy seating for parents. We will be returning and if I lived closer to Eugene I would definitely be getting a membership for my family.

    THE CUTEST place ever!! I didn't go for the longest time thinking that it would be too homemade and not enjoyable and I greatly misjudged! It is SO adorable and so great for children's imaginations. There is such a wide variety of things for them to experience and play with and it is ever changing! I highly recommend. My son is 2.5 and he just loves it! After we went the first time, we left with an annual pass for only $50! Then, we purchased one for a friend's birthday! It makes a great gift!

    This place is rad. Everything is big enough that you can play with your kid. That mystery they got right now is pretty good and of course the Tardis!!🤩 Fun for all ages. They have several diligent, hard working, definitely not paid enough staff members to assist and clean. Go there and give them all your money. If you don't have money, flash your SNAP and get a discount.

    So much fun, we will definitely be back! Great for younger kids. We went with 18month old, 3.5 year old and 7 year old. They all had lots of fun. Plenty of different activities for each of them. They pack a lot into a small space!

    My family loves this place. We go at least once a week. My daughter, 7, did a summer camp here last summer and really liked her teacher, Asher. Now every time we go in, she looks for him and he always stops and plays with her. He does an incredible job and is a real treat to have at Adventure! My 2 young sons, 1 and 2, also love it here. They sleep so well after we leave!

    We love coming here is so cool, lots of things to do for kids. So many things to learn and experience, they're expanding and we're so excited for all the new opportunities this qill bring. We can't go that often because my kids get bored we go every other week and that seems to keep them interested.

    We stopped here to let my child run around after being in the rv on our vacation for awhile, this place was a great find! So many cute stuff for all ages. My daughter is under two years and she had so much fun!

  • 5/5 Brynessa T. 5 years ago on Google
    What a great place! Two solid hours of fun and the kids still didn't see everything. I was most impressed but the variety of things for all ages, my 2 yr old and 10 yr old both had a blast!

  • 5/5 Grace C. 7 months ago on Google
    I love the Adventure Children’s Museum. This place has so much to do you could be here for 1-3 hours easy. Adults must accompany children but there are places to sit and watch if you don’t want to play. It’s great for ages 1-10. Entry is cheap at $7 a person as of (2023) highly recommend.

    Such a cool community space for kids! We don’t live in Eugene and we’re just here visiting family so this was our first visit. Initially I was kind of annoyed to have to pay for admission for my husband and myself as well as our toddler, but it was well-worth the price once we entered! So many activities and different stations to learn about music, art, science, nature, baking, etc. my son would have happily stayed there playing all day. Highly recommend to anyone with little kids! Great value!

    Sadly, it's not what I expected. I brought my six-year-old grandson, he and I were looking forward to it, but it felt rundown and many of the items were old and displays cheaply designed. The price of admission was $7.00 a person and the activity displays were sponsored by local businesses. I would truly consider brighter colors, focused staff, better organization, better explanations of each area, and updating everything. Honestly, calling it a "museum" is ridiculous.

    A pretty solid children's museum! I found the price of entry to be fairly reasonable at $7 per person. Our 10 month old had a blast.

  • 5/5 Nicole P. 9 months ago on Google
    This place is a great place to bring your kiddos. The year pass is a totally reasonable price. They also do head checks every so often to make sure the kiddos don't get out that aren't supposed to. They also make sure you get any lost and found stuff back.

    Wow what a great idea for the kids especially on rainy days. Such a fun and great learning experience for the kids.

  • 5/5 Alyssa R. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great space to let your children's imagination run wild! They've got so many sets and interactive displays. I've been to bigger children's museums and it's actually kind of nice that this is small and I'm not losing my children. There are not a lot of climbing structures or slides to fight over, but they really have so many things to do you could spend a week in here.

  • 5/5 Mags S. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great place for the littles to explore and play, very hands on with a great crafts station.

  • 5/5 Amy C. 10 months ago on Google
    Perfect for growing minds. Kids can go nuts with creativity and learn about new professions, such as baking, suhshi making and being a veterinarian. Or they can ride the train or play dress up in the theater. Very cute place. Have been there many many times.

  • 5/5 Rant C. 10 months ago on Google
    My daughter is 4 with autism so it can be a challenge sometimes to find fun things to do. She loves this place and we go quite often. Super affordable and she will spend HOURS here.

  • 5/5 Alia H. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great place to let your children play indoors. They have lots of activity tables, different areas to play and something for kids from 2-8 years old.

  • 5/5 Abii R. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was way more age appropriate than I could've ever dreamed. My son is almost three but he's crazy. He runs, screams and just has so much fun anywhere. This place was extremely safe because they lock down the front. As we were getting ready to leave my son took off towards to exit and in a blink he was gone. I am SO thankful they have people standing and kinda guarding the exit. The exit gate was open, but the lovely guy literally blocked the exit with his body and said stop. My son immediately stopped and came back. I am so thankful we have a place like this. I hate going places with my son because he disappears in just a second, he's so fast and sneaky so having that front closed like that let me breathe while I was there. If that worker sees this, thank you again.

    Such a great indoor play space for young kids! Small and humble but they have some cute stuff for all ages.

  • 5/5 Tara E. 1 year ago on Google
    My 2.5 yr old loved it! She played for 2 hours until she got hangry. No food or drink are allowed in except baby bottles or bottled water.

  • 4/5 Saiorse C. 1 year ago on Google
    It was decently clean and there were a lot of play options. However, I do think they could have done a better job with cleaning and some of the toy items looked very run down and needed replaced. Some of the parents seating options were the same, rundown and gross looking. There were also a couple of play structure pieces that were simply hazards, like a slide that my son could not get up or down without banging his head. There was a plane rocking chair type thing, and that was a similar story. It's a very badly designed piece of equipment that the child bangs their head on if they rock AT ALL. I feel like he should have been able to fit in these at 20 months old. I watched other children have the same issues with these items. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly with any thing we needed. I definitely recommend a visit but keep a close eye on your kiddos!
