    Such an amazing facility!! They have so many make believe, kid friendly activities and make believe toys as of it were real!!! Their gigantic pirate ship is so real, they have a barn, a home, a grocery store, a health and, a fitness center, a bank and a place to be astronomers too!! We had a blast over here!! The fire station was an added attraction!

    Super fun, great use of space. Better then Marbles. So we are from Apex came down to Lumberton on business and I thought I would bring the kids. It's a super cool place that's has just the perfect amount of creativity to motivate the Screen generation to use their imagination. It's small vs Marbles but marbles wastes so much space and in the end it's not that cool for kids under 5. This place definitely fits that need and niche. The staff was nice and so were all the patrons we met. Definitely recommend to all families.

    The best educational place to take children and teenagers. I am always overwhelmed @ each of my visit. Whoever that came up with this idea is surely delivering value to educate children. If you have not visited,just try it and thank me later. Very clean environment as well!

    Very good to take a small child to and spend time with. All of the toys and activities require them to use their imagination and actually put forth a physical effort, which is a very good thing. Wouldn't recommend for children older that 5 or 6.

    When some people in Lumberton suggested building a children's museum, they were told that would happen "when pigs fly." The initiators persisted and the result is this hidden gem! When we visited on a Friday morning, our two kids had the place to themselves. The museum has about a dozen hands-on exhibits (e.g., farm, theater, grocery store, factory). While the exhibits are small, they are well executed. The staff was very nice and helpful. Overall, a great experience!

    We stopped in to get out of the car for an hour or two on a long road trip. My son (almost 2) had a blast. My husband (in his thirties) seemed to enjoy himself as well. My mother and I enjoyed watching them have fun. They have a little bit of everything. A house, a mailroom, a stage (with backstage!), a pirate ship, and so much more! Loved it!
