I took my 9 year old and 5 year old and we stayed from open to close and still had things we didn't get to do. The outside sports area is amazing. They had so much fun they wanted to return the following day. Parking was free, food was a little pricey but was as expected. You can bring your own inside the dining area. The place was clean and employees were so friendly.

Wow, what an experience. My family and I originally came to Indiana as a travel gift for our oldest son for graduating fourth grade, but holy cow are we glad The Children's Museum popped up as places to visit! Super easy to get to in downtown Indianapolis, plenty of parking, Covid restrictions limit to 50% capacity and honestly, I prefer it that way. This place is amazing! My husband and I enjoyed the experience as well! There's 4-5 floors and lemme just warn you: it's gonna be an all day event, I wouldn't plan this if you're crunched for time on that particular day. The staff are all so wonderful and knowledgeable. There's a food court on the lowest level right as you walk through the ticket counters. PLENTY of bathrooms on every floor. So, so, so much to do for your children of all ages from awesome displays to look and interact with to special shows on each floor. Our oldest is almost 10 and he loved everything. VERY clean, as well. 10/10 recommend, worth the money to go through AND learn something new 😊

Better and bigger than I remember from my childhood. They have done a lot with new displays. The dinosaurs are impressive. There are also several other new in revamped displays throughout the museum. The kids are enjoy it. You could easily spend more than a day here.

So much fun! Doesn't matter what your age is. I personally, haven't been here since grade school and seeing the trains brings back so many great memories. I loved to be able to share the experience with my family. All the exhibits were fantastic. My boys were thrilled to ditch school for a family - educational field trip!

We had a great day at the museum It was a bit busy .The kids still enjoyed it. They really liked the dino area..Would like to go back during the week when its not to busy. The tickets were 34. Each and snacks were $10. for each kid.We didn't know you could take your lunch in ,will do that next time.

It was a bit pricey, but the atmosphere was great. The activities were less than expected, and it seemed to be geared more toward an older age group. My kids had a great time, and I joked with my wife that the ENTRANCE of the building and atmosphere was so great, maybe next time we'll just come to thr outside for free and wonder around the lobby. 😀

Great place for fun, education, culture, and art. Great for kids. I really appreciated the kid-friendly exhibits that are low to the ground, and the kid-friendly bathrooms. The main downside is, since it's so popular, it can be packed and noisy. I mean, it was hard to talk to the person next to me, and at times I couldn't think straight. It's so huge, we didn't even do all the indoor stuff in one day.

This was a great place for kids to learn about a wode span of topics from dinosaurs to Greece and American history events. I loved it personally but I think my kiddo wanted more out of some of the sections. There was a lot to see but maybe not a lot to do in many of the areas such as the super hero/ villain area. The best part of the museum was honestly the sports legends area where it was more hands on and interactive. You can play almost all major sports to include putt putt and go-kart racing. There is even an awesome tree house to climb. Without a doubt, the sports area was the actual highlight but bring water and sunscreen because its boiling out and water may sometimes be hard to find for yourself and kiddo. I highly recommend the museum if you are in the area. Making online reservations will help you ensure you get in since there are still limitations on capacity.

My kids love this place! We have a family membership, which I highly recommend if you live locally and go more than a few times a year. The recent changes to the Dinosphere are awesome and a welcome change to an already cool exhibit.

By far one of the best childrens museums we’ve visited, and we’ve visited quite a few of them. Even with several interactive sites being closed, we were engaged all 5+ hours we were there. It’s a curious kids paradise and there’s so much to learn. My kiddo is 8 and she had a great time. We never got to check out the Riley sports area. Oh. Parking is free!!! And there’s a skywalk between the garage and the museum so you don’t get wet if you go on a rainy day like we did, and no safety concerns about crossing the street.

My 7 year old son had this on his summer bucket list so we drove 6 hours to get here. It was well worth the drive. The size of the place is mind staggering. A very well organized and engaging museum of science, culture, history, and an endless amount of learning opportunities for young and old alike. Surprising you around every corner. Keeping children engaged in large and small hands on spots from the 1 st floor to the fourth. I cannot recommend this great gem of a museum enough. If you can drive and know a child who will accompany you, make plans now to visit. You won’t be sorry!

The largest children’s museum in the world. Lots of fun, educational and interactive activities. Carousel on the 4th floor. Free for members, $2 for everyone else. The outdoor sports activities look great. It start in March and go through the summer.

Great place to spend a day... or a few days! The staff is knowledgeable and makes learning fun for young people. Clean and inviting campus, very interactive!

LOVED THIS MUSEUM It is the best children museum I have ever been to. The outdoor area with all the sports experience was out of the world. We enjoyed golf, basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer, football, racing... it was amazing. The indoor area had so many interesting exhibits, including minecraft and pop art. We went when the museum opened. We left when the museum closed.

A must visit place for children to know & learn many unknown things about many natural, physical, chemical, geographical, biological historical issues. It may take few days to explore each & and every concept of the museum. The highlight of the museum is Dinosaurs world and liquid Clock. Ample parking. Good food restaurants & Souvenir centre inside. Honda’s Robot is in the centre of attraction too. Better to reserve bookings and parking in advance.

This is a must see attraction, especially for children. It’s one of the world’s spectacular and largest museums. It has over 120,000 objects and display pieces. It also has art lessons and traveling exhibition. The visual dinosaur habitat, space, and the playgrounds were impressive. Also a fun train ride and a glass sculpture. Most of the displays are immersive and encourages kids and their families to participate and have fun. The general admission is $27.50. The first Thursday night of each month the tickets are $6 from 4-8pm.

We had a great time. I did think it would be more engaging for the kids. There was a lot to learn, as expected for a museum. But, not a lot of FUN engaging activities as I expected. The kids did enjoy themselves. We had to wait over an hour to get into the Minecraft exhibit. It is new so we kind of expected that. Definitely buy tickets online!!

Cons: there's a display in the "Pop-Con" type exhibit that teaches your children that Cinderella just had to change her look and she becomes popular. This is not only an anti-woman sentiment, but inaccurate to the story. This sends a terrible message to little girls. I spoke with museum staff and after being shuffled around for months, I followed up again asking why they hadn't just changed the wording because, well, yuck! I got an email saying they plastered a sticker on the machine/exhibit that says something along the lines of "some of these stories have themes you may want to discuss with your child". This makes no sense. Cinderella didn't become popular because she gave herself a new look. She became popular as the people's princess when she, a peasant, caught the eye and the heart of the local prince and married him. Because of who she was, not because she changed her looks to gain popularity. I was so tired of explaining this to my daughter that we now skip the entire exhibit. I cannot believe they would allow young impressionable kids to experience this, especially when so much of the museum is about building kids up and helping their confidence. Other cons: it's expensive and without an access pass we would have maybe been once ever. Pros: real paleontologists work there! If your child is into dinosaurs, this is a must visit!! They sometimes have traveling exhibits which are super neat. But on its own, there is something for everyone here. Every kid will find a way to enjoy themselves and the guardians won't loathe their experience.

First, the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because some of the staff were borderline rude. That being said, most everyone who worked there was great, so I don't want to make it sound like they are all that way. We have been here at least 10 times. They are always changing exhibits up to keep things exciting for the kids. It's also nice that they have the outdoor sports area, which really let's the kids have fun. Our kids range from teenagers to toddlers, and there is something for everyone.

Amazing place! Something for everyone, from dinosaurs to Chihuly glass and outdoor sports, to rock climbing walls. Children's meals are generous and priced under $8. Guests may bring their own food and store it in a locker. There is plenty of Stroller Parking. The staff are knowledgeable and easy to interact with. Oh! And the parking is free! Come early, and stay till close, and you might see most of it!

I’m going to give this place 5 stars. For one, nostalgia, I used to love going there as a child. I was able to bring my son back here about 30 years later and the updates, along with some of the nostalgia, didn’t disappoint. I will say that after about 11-12 years old, it only becomes worth it to see the new exhibits that come out a few times a year. We went to it recently and had a great time, but the NASA/Space area is the only standard thing my son was really interested in. Unfortunately, a couple of the activities were broken, which I’ve noticed in past visits also. I believe they are funded by donations and memberships and not sure if they receive subsidies, but overall they do a great job. The dinosaur exhibit is a must see for anyone and the sport area is a great new addition that wasn’t there when I was young, but that’s only open in the warmer weather. Add on: The winter fest snowball fight is a good concept, but they need to have different times for different age groups and they need to expand the play area. As you can see, it’s a giant cluster. Still fun, although more focused on 8 and under.

We've been here several times and it gets better every time! Between my and my bro in law's family there are four kids between 3 and 6 and they absolutely love it! I often think I want to visit here without them! The interactive dino coloring mural wall is always must see! And you can't ignore the giant dinosaurs you see busting through the walls on the drive up. The exhibits are engaging for all ages and if you go on the right day, it won't be too busy and you can jam around as you please! Don't forget the sports area off the main area and play with all the interactive games! Coach David was awesome!

Always a great time at the Children's Museum! I love that it is clean, friendly, interactive, and educational! There is something for ALL AGES!! We had a great time on the Winter Slide this visit. I highly recommend that you take the opportunity to visit this fantastic museum! Some weekdays are busy with school field trips, but if you can stay until after 3 pm, the crowd thins out drastically! Go have some fun... And maybe just learn a thing or two... 😉

There is a reason why this museum is consistently ranked best in the nation. It is well thought out, engaging, and has something for all ages. Even the food court is pretty good. The exhibits are always excellent. I love the Barbie exhibit. Love the hands on interactive displays. The Chihuly centerpiece takes my breath no matter how many times I see it and makes me want a piece for my home. The dinosaurs were being redone so I look forward to seeing them the next visit. I’m thankful that generations of Hoosiers can grow up with this museum in their childhood experience.

I have a 4-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl who had the best time here today! We were coming to town, 5 and a half hours away, for a food show with our kids in Indianapolis. We did that and planned a day trip. We spent 6 hours there, and we could have stayed to closing if we weren't trying to travel closer to home. There is so much to do inside and out. My husband, who hates these kinds of things, spent hours in the sports experience with our kids. I cannot recommend this place enough. Even the guy in the parking garage was incredibly helpful and friendly. We stayed at the Drury Inn in Carmel, which was about 18 minutes away, which provides a free breakfast and dinner(5:30pm- 7:30pm)AND 3 complimentary drinks, which was refreshing!

My daughter and I had a wonderful time here together! I highly recommend taking the time to bring your children here to explore. Allow plenty of time, as there is much to see. She was completely wiped out after our visit and was asleep 5 minutes after returning to our car, lol! We made some beautiful memories during our visit to the Indianapolis Children's Museum.

We took our 2 year old son and he had a blast. Spent about 4 hours there and didn't get to see everything. Multi-level and lots of different activities for different age levels within the same area. The playzone at the top was really nice, big water feature, climbing tree, play sand, art and music. Easily could have spent the the whole time there. Highly recommended.

On May 13th I attended the Children's Museum with a friend of mine who is special needs. And we had the BEST time EVER! All the staff was very nice to him and he even commented to me that they were so nice to him! Thank you to ALL THE STAFF that made our day extra SPECIAL! We will be back! The Children's Museum has always been my favorite place to go ever since I was a kid and I'm so happy I was able to experience it as an adult and only get the best care! Thank you again!

I grew up going to this museum and love bringing my 4 kids (ages 10 to 4). They love exploring different parts and the new exhibits. It is always clean, wonderfully nice staff and great play areas for all ages. The museum is always updating exhibits for the best experience and has so many fun random programs in each exhibit you can participate in! Plus, they have amazing safety measures if you ever need to use them. They will shut down the entire museum if you have lost your kid. They won't let anyone in or out and have all staff come out to search. (Not that I know this from personal experience 🙃) The family pass is worth the money. Even a day pass is worth it! You won't need to do anything else for the rest of the day! Plus, you can bring in your own food if you plan to stay during lunch.

What an INCREDIBLE museum! The price tag, not knowing, really is a gut punch, but it is well worth it! Bring a sack lunch if you can- eating in their food court is SO expensive for so little! The museum itself is GIGANTIC and completely full of interactive activities in a huge variety! There is something for everyone. I took my 3, 6 and 8 year olds and they all found something fun to do in every area we went to. We were there for four hours and didn't even see everything in the main building. We got through 2.5 floors and wished we could have stayed longer! Overall, if we are ever back in Indy we will come back!

An awesome experience here. First with my kids, and now with my grandkids. Over time I have seen the admission price increase, but try to imagine the upkeep of all the displays, and it becomes understandable. There are way too many exhibits here to describe. Plan on spending hours here and having a great time. If you wish to save some money, eat at home and come here with a full belly.

What a great place! There’s an outdoor sports area kids would love plus all the 🦖 🦕 ❤️! This place requires a minimum 3 hours to tour and if you include the outdoors make that 5. Nice place for children! We went on the first Thursday of the month which is $6 as of 11-2023.

If you've got kids, you absolutely need to bring them here! The size of this place and the amount of exhibits is just amazing. Even during this age of COVID, they do a great job of keeping the exhibits relatively interactive and enjoyable for the kids. The museum never felt overly crowded and various sections of the building are deep cleaned throughout the day. The employees were all very friendly and did a great job of being interactive, despite social distancing measures. Overall, don't be hesitant to visit here during COVID, there are still plenty of exhibits open and hours of fun to be had!

Amazing place with escalated prices. Prices should change based on covid protocol. Most of the interactions within the exhibits is a no go. All exhibits are open though. We went for MLK Day for free. They had a cool African Drum performance which we enjoyed. They included the crowd as well and followed covid protocol well. Food is great as well and I am thankful for Starbucks for the adults.

I thought I was in india until someone told me it was india but with extra napolis or something liddat

Experience with the children was so awesome. We loved it.

WOnderful fun

Best "museum" I've ever been in. This place is gigantic. Spent over 4 hours there and we didn't even do half. There are over 2 floors we haven't seen AND the sports museum. My daughters loved the DC heros area and obviously the Barbies museum as well. There is humongous glass sculpture there as well. There is a space center as well, but mainly within the space center, not rockets. There is a Chinese tomb and Egyptian tomb discovery as well. I will surely go back.

Museum was pretty good. I especially enjoyed the exhibit of "The power Of Children: Making a difference". Highly recommend this place. Not only for children as the name imply. I think it is good for all ages.

With 5 floors of fun and a huge outdoor area as well, this is by far the best Children's Museum around. And you don't have to be a kid to enjoy it. We spent 5 hours there and we are all adults. Loved the Chihulily blown glass sculpture as well as the Bucky Exhibit. Everything here is done well - good flow to the museum. Great interactive displays. There always seems to be something special going on here.

Not enough parking and the food court was obviously not designed for high capacity and the self checkout experience is terrible. Beyond those complaints the place was awesome, the kids loved it, especially the dinosaur section. All the staff were wonderful and friendly. Be aware some sections like the Holocaust history area are not appropriate for small kids.

A must visit when you are in Indianapolis. An amazing time here for kids. Dinosphere is super awesome. A huge bumblebee transformer on display at entrance. Parking is free. Reservation required for entrance. So much to see and do here. One day is not enough. Food court is on the second floor, so you can quickly grab a pizza and continue exploring the museum after lunch.

We had a great time at The Children's Museum. Our 7-year-old loved the Sports Legends area, especially the paddle cars and treehouse. And he also really enjoyed the play areas on the third and fourth floors. The food selection is also great for adults and kids. 😁

We took our two and a half year old and there was plenty to have fun with and enjoy. She particularly enjoyed the whole Greece travel set up with the “fishing” and the “airplane.” The dinosaurs and “digging for bones” were a big hit well. We were there for a few hours and didn’t even get to see everything. The place is huge! We will be back

This place is very nice! A lot of walking, so make sure you have on comfortable shoes. I love their different exhibits; the kid history and Greece were my favorites. I appreciate all of the hand sanitizing wipes and liquids that they have placed around the museum. The outdoor sports center was FUNNNN! My boys loved being able to play all the sports. Make sure your kids are wearing closed toe shoes. The place was spotless, even the cafeteria and bathrooms. I appreciated the free parking. The only con is that the food place closes pretty early, so if you plan to eat there, arrive before 2:30. If you are visiting from out of town and plan to go to the zoo and children’s museum, purchase the Indy Pass to save. You can visit both within 24 hours if you purchase the day pass. We arrived at the CM at 11:30 am, then made sure we arrived at the zoo by 10/30-11 am the next day.

This is a great place to take a kid. Took our almost 7 year old grandson, and he loved it. When asked what his favorite part was, he answered all of it. I enjoyed it so much, I wanted to buy the season pass and come back even though it is almost 3 hours from our home. We especially liked the outside part, legends of sport.

It was a large museum that kept my family of 5 busy and entertained for 5 hours. Beautiful exhibits and interactive activities throughout. One of the favorites was the outdoor sports area where we could shoot hoops, hit whiffle balls, kick field goals, race pedal carts, shoot hockey and soccer goals, and a large tree house structure. Plenty of educational rooms including Ryan White - AIDS, Ruby Bridges - black student integrating into white classroom, and Anne Frank - holocaust victim. Dinosaur exhibit was another fantastic area as well as the mirror maze. They have a good food court that seems fairly attentive to allergies. The only downside I can think of is the cost for a family of 5. If you order tickets online up to 2 weeks in advance, you get a discount. Each day from the 2 weeks, the cost goes up. We purchased tickets same day and we paid $138. Luckily, the parking is free. I guess I feel one day admission for a museum is pretty expensive when over $100 for us.

Excellent place to spend time with kids all ages and with good information. The sports area is super great as well. Yes agree with everyone you have to walk as theres a lot to cover so wear good shoes. We will definitely revisit for more.

Went there on president day. The place was packed. All the children were enjoying themselves and actively participated in various activities. This is a well organized and beautiful place. All the parents should take their children there for a pleasant outing.

Went here not knowing what to expect with covid and things being closed. It was clean etc and there was still plenty to see and explore. Nice way to spend a few hours with family In the cold of winter. As much as we enjoyed it we defo wouldn't be going back until it fully opens again and in summer . But as I said kids had couple of hrs fun to finish of our trip to indianapolis. Ps onsite parking etc was great and free

We hadn't been in several years but found it just as fun as the last visit. The facility was very clean and we felt safe. Every time you turned around someone was cleaning and wiping down a surface. All were masked and the number of people in the building was good.

We had a great time at The Children's Museum for "First Thursday" thanks for the invitation Angela. I complemented one of the staff members for "Continuous Sanitizing" throughout the evening. Different members of the team were cleaning the elevator buttons, wiping down the rails/benches etc.

Great childrens museum. Lots of different exhibits. Because of the pandemic it was only at 20-30% capacity and it wasn't very crowded but at 100% it must be crazy. Would only recommend coming on a week day.

Unbelievable place. We are so lucky and blessed to have this museum in Indianapolis. It is so nice and clean. Staff is great. My girls love it here.

Great family place and for adults that likes history and science. 1st thursday of each month there's discount rate. It's a great experience and covid friendly. Indy staple for sure

Amazing as always!! They did a great job with the social distance restrictions and kiddos still had an amazing experience and was able to do pretty much all the same activities as before. Excited to see the dinosphere when it is done with renovations and seeing Due the dinosaur this spring. Parking was free and the access pass rocks

I have fun and I felt like a kid again and I will bring my grandbabies back to visit again in the summertime and everybody on the staff was good and cleaning and making sure everybody have their masks on thank you sincerely Kunta Smith

Always a great pleasure visiting the museum refreshes all our childhood memories.

Excellent my toddler had a blast. Very family friendly.

Terrific!

I love the children’s museum, but would NOT recommend during covid. They’re still charging full price for entry but NOTHING is open for the kids to interact with, dinosaur digging, mirror maze etc. but of course the Mary go round and gift shops are open (ways to make more money) drove 4 hours and after asking the kids their favorite part of the trip it was the pillow fight in the hotel room.

Super amazing had a great time the price was right certainly all day evolution it's amazing the building is super awesome

There's still a lot to do for the kids.

My kids love it.

Great place to take kids!! Lots to see and do so give yourself plenty of time!!

Staff was very nice. Food court was good. Our experience there was really good.

Don't think it's just enjoyable for children, best experience I've had in a museum

Great even for adults

It's got old bones!

Very fun place for children to learn. Not overly expensive.

Great place for families or even just adults to spend the day and see really cool stuff!

Super fun!!! Worth the 2 hour drive... My kids had a blast!! Will definitely be visiting again!

They are also very good with communicating when things will close for cleaning so that you can plan your visit accordingly.

The Children's Museum and will want to keep going back.If you do eat inside instead of packing a lunch their food is good if they still have the food they had before.

Beautiful place to visit.

Great place! Staff was incredibly friendly and the sanitation is very professional!

It was awesome they are great you should go just sayin

Awesome place for kids of all ages. They do an excellent job of sanitizing things.

13 month old daughter had a ball! Visited for the Martin Luther king jr. Day. Favorite educated entertainment were the Griot storytelling experience

We love it.

All hands on activities were cancelled due to covid but still worth the 2 hourdrive. .

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place, where we learn many things from a little history to how the toys were from before, since you are at the entrance you will be surprised by the dinosaur in the building .... highly recommended .. (Original) Muy bonito lugar, el donde aprendemos muchas cosas desde un poco de historia hasta como eran los juguetes de antes, desde que estas en la entrada te sorprenderás por el dinosaurio en el edificio.... ampliamente recomendado..

Had the best time with my grandsons, their parents, kids and family. 🤍

They are doing very well keeping things clean and safe for our little ones. They are also very good with communicating when things will close for cleaning so that you can plan your visit accordingly.

Soo much to do in this huge place for learning minds .. Some of the activity's were down but i mean pandemic .. But at 50 percent compacity still not as busy as I thought .. Tons of hand sanitizer and wipes for all activity's .. The food is a bit pricey just like the admittance I paid 91 and some change for me ..my wife and 6 year old son but if all the activity's were open there would be no issue .. But all the staff is wonderful and the place is so clean for having tons of kids there all day so yes its a wonderful place I will be back with my family again.

As an adult, I enjoyed reading the information provided explaining the exhibits but granddaughter not so much . She did enjoy the hands on exhibits. Audio explanations where the kids can push a button to hear might help them learn more. Overall we had a good time.

I was expecting way better. But since covid they have taken out a lot of the “hands on activities” so it just wasn’t that great. Kids had fun tho so that’s all that matters.

We like the out door part more than the indoor. Suggest to come here during weekdays or First Thursday Night, will enjoy more. Free parking across from the museum.

How we love the children's museum- let me count the ways! Indoor, outdoor, it's all so much fun! My son's first time to a museum and it was just wonderful for him the under 5 children's area was full of laughs and splashes. My older step daughter also had a blast with the outdoor spots area, the dancing room, and so much more! Thanks Indy!

We absolutely love the children’s museum. I’ve been going here since I was a little kid and have great memories from those trips. And now it’s so great to bring my own child to make new memories! Every floor has something that appeals to a variety of ages. The outdoor play area is amazing. It was too hot on our visit to really get the full outdoor experience but we will definitely be back. A great place for families and I highly recommend everyone visit at least once!

We have been going for years now, it never gets boring. There is so much for the kids to do every single time we go. We love it!

All the exhibits were really cool and the craft time was fun with the five and under kids. Overall it's a little pricey in my opinion. Very clean and easily accessible for strollers. I had a good time.

OMG... Excellent experience for my kids and us... We all have fun. Amazing place with a lot to do and also free parking... Highly Recommended...

So much to do for the kids, it is definitely an all day trip! Please take your little ones you will not be disappointed and they will have so much fun with everything this museum has to offer👌🏼

Had a lot of fun on a school field trip. We will have to return as a family so we can take more time to appreciate all the exhibits. Would probably be a five star experience out side of the pandemic making it hard to do interactive exhibits and the dinosphere currently getting remodeled. Hand sanitizer and cleaning wipes available everywhere.

Awesome. Some things are changed since I was a kid but it's still cool as ever. The new dinosphere is amazing. The new science works was a let down. The sports experience was thrilling. A great trip.

My family came here on vacation, and my kids loved it. Honestly, so did I. There are lots of great exhibits, from watching an actual paleontologist at work to racing pedal cars outdoors. We stayed for about 4 hours and didn't come close to seeing everything. If we lived in the area, we'd definitely buy season passes.

This was a very fun place. There are 4 levels of interesting exhibits. Because if this, it's not overly crowded at any 1 exhibit. Although our little one is really young, she really enjoyed exploring. There was a special Lego exhibit. The line was really long, and our tired, fussy little one ran out of patience. So we didn't see it. Other than that, we were able to see all the remaining exhibits. We ended our visit with a stop in the museum gift shop. It was a very fun day!

Continue to love this place enough to keep getting a membership. Love the Halloween stuff every year for the kids. The kids always have a blast and we always leave tired! 😆😀🦕🦖🌌🚂🏎️🎠🛬🐢🦎⛹️⚽⚾🏀🏈🎾🥅

- Love this museum. It’s huge! - There are so many activities to do for kids and I like the way they also incorporated activities for adults as well. My favorite was the interactive music. I didn’t upload pics because I do not want to post people’s faces without permission. - I recommend purchasing tickets in advance. There was a long line when we arrived - not sure how fast the in-line purchase was though. - The bathrooms were not clean. I used one. But there was enough toilet paper and paper towel. - There are some sitting areas. I’ll recommend for parents with infants or others who may need it.

Very big. Too much for one day, at least for my kids 6 and under. We have really enjoyed it. Food and tickets are pricey. Free parking. Baby and toddler area with nursing rooms, toddler sized potty and sink, and changing table. My kids got soaked from the water table so if your kids will too bring a change of clothes.

Wow! It was so much fun for the family! my husband and I searched for a family-friendly entertaining place, the kids absolutely loved this place. So happy we came.

My kids had so much fun and I did too! The different exhibits are tailored to everyone and it's great! You'll need a whole day to experience it all for sure! We were there 10am until about 5pm on a Sunday. It was busy but not crowded. It was great. And parking was free in their parking garage. :)

This was another fun weekend trip destination for my family and I. If you go, plan to be there all day. Lots of exhibits to explore and activities to interact with. Little bit of something for everyone. Bit of a tip, though: your tickets can be scanned multiple times. I suggest leaving to eat and then returning. We paid 50$ just for a burger and chicken strip basket. Other than that, fantastic experience.

I take my son here often. The museum is very fun and interactive with so many different exhibits, there's no way you can go there and not find something interesting. One thing I have noticed is how exceptionally clean it is. Thousands of children go through the place and out of all the times I've been, I have never seen a piece of trash on the ground, not even a wrapper. It has plenty of open spaces that are easy to navigate, but there are a few spots that can be a little cramped such as the mirror maze and Egypt exhibit. The dinosphere is one of the best dinosaur exhibits I have seen and though it's small compared to some, they have many specimens and utilize the space very well. They even have a lab that you can look into and see paleontologists at work. The staff are always friendly and they change exhibits regularly so there is always something new to see. I highly recommend it and know that anyone who visits will not be disappointed.

The best children's museum! The area around the museum is not the best. But the museum itself is absolutely amazing! My favorite thing is they are constantly changing exhibits, so if you go once a year will be something new for your kids to see/do. The exhibits that stay constant are fun to revisit multiple times! The best deal is to become a member. The membership pays for itself within a few visits. They have a few days a month when it's really cheap to get in, but those days are ridiculously crazy. Always go in the morning, it's the least busy then, especially during the week. Food is pretty expensive, so I always pack our lunch and bring snacks and water bottles.

Excellent museum. We were only able to stay for a few hours on our way to another destination, but it was absolutely worth the stop. We especially enjoyed the outdoor sports area. It is a shame they are not on the museum reciprocity list though. Seems a little greedy.

Nice museum but not the top. I would expect more for smaller children. You start your tour among the dinosaurs and end up on carrousel. I would say it is more for older kids as there is a part dedicated to Greece and also inspirational stories of Anne Frank, Ruby, etc. This is very well done with useful information. I mean, definitely the best part. Everything was clean and staff was friendly and nice. The outdoor part was unfortunately closed due to heatwave.

Children's Museum has come way away from the museum I remember as a kid and just a few years ago. For us, it has turned into the dinosaur museum. Activities and exhibits that used to be on the second floor have turned into huge spaces, not at all interesting to our 3 year old. The reminisce of the train world in the basement is sad. I asked about it, and they didn't know what I was talking about. That tells me the exhibit has been gone so long that the staff don't know about it. A lot of the free use spaces were built up to things I am surprised are in a kids' museum. Seems you can bring your own food for lunch. I strongly recommend this. Food is incredibly overpriced. The 25-cent carton of milk from your school days is $2.75. The cup of fruit was $5. Our pizza was ok but would never get it again as my son didn't even want to eat much of it. We had no luck in quality of service from the deli place as the person in there was yelling to my wife "what dobyou want" from the make table in the back. Didn't even step to the counter to provide service. Needless to say, she didn't respond to him, and we got food elsewhere. Will tell you that even in the allergy free zone, parents are ignoring their kids. Letting them run a muck. My son got ran into, hit, and knocked over multiple times to where I had to body block kids and some parents who were being inconsiderate of others. One parent even took my sons spot at the little sand table when he went to get a brush. Just moved 2 feet. She didn't like my giving her what for. The Museum says only children 5 and under but allows siblings to go in with. So now my son had to wait for kids 10 to 13 to move so he could play with kids his age. Of course, the museum tells me they assume the bigger kids would help the little kids. This is not fact as the bigger kids ignore the younger kids and control all the toys. Parents are not controlling their kids. I had to get these kids to move. I did see one parent try to get her son to move, and he threw a punch and a croc at her. Am happy that she got him to leave the location as that Croc came close to hitting my son, and I already wanted to lay him on his butt for how he acted to his mother. Most of this trip was trying to avoid negative parenting and children they seem to forget they are at a children's museum. They should be aware that some are only 3 feet tall. But honestly, I do not mind being my sons protection and moving wall, but I shouldn't have to. The museum seems to have rules, but they don't even enforce them. Sad state from the Children's Museum of my childhood and when my brother worked there. I do not really want to go back and never would consider a membership.
