    This was a really cute spot! My 3 and 6 yr old loved it. When pulling in, veer to the right of the lot. There is more parking in back. We had veered to the left and found a dead end and parked around the block. We had assumed the other aide was the same and we felt like dummies when we realized it wasn't.

    It was a bit pricey, $30 for my toddler and me… but if you plan on staying there from open to close, it’s definitely worth it. I have an energetic 3.5 YO and he had a blast the entire day. Every exhibit was a hit. They have a free coat area and storage bins for diaper bags, which was super nice. The bathrooms were clean. You could tell staff kept up with cleaning and resetting exhibits during the day. This was our first visit so I didn’t know… I recommend dressing your kid in short sleeves and rain boots—it makes the water and bubble areas less messy. There is an area to eat so next time we will bring our own snacks. Wish parking had been better but it wasn’t the worst and the location is super close to 90. Overall, worth it and great for toddlers with cabin fever.

    A great indoor play area for children as there are so many different learning areas for them to discover. it's definitely a 5 star place due to that however thanks to COVID restrictions meaning you can only book a 2 hour play slot (and the non-masked one is currently 1130-1330) I've given it 4 stars as 2 hours isn't really long enough to fully experience it. That said, next time I'm back in Cleveland I'll be going again.

    I really love taking my little ones here. It is a great place to learn, socialize and meet other nice moms. I also feel they do a good job making the atmosphere of play safe, structured and not overwhelming. The museum for all discount here is great but the membership is also affordable! I’m really enjoying it! I especially like visiting the meadow for my youngest one year old son, he has a quiet place that seems like it was made just for him. I could come here every week. 😊

    Cute little museum for the kids to have some fun. Kind of expected it to be big when you see the Cleveland art and history museum. But still good enough to 1-2 hours.

    We had my granddaughter's bday party. My granddaughter loves donuts, so we had a donut theme. The party room has a refrigerator, kitchen sink area, tables/chairs. It was perfect. Kids were able to play, enjoy, and let their energy out. There were many activities from water, bubble, theatre, reading room, etc. Parents were happy.

    Love the children’s museum. My kids are 3 & 6 and there are plenty of activities to keep them busy all day. They also have quiet rooms and quieter spaces when the busier spots get too overwhelming: sensory room, reading nook, art room, and doll display area (3rd floor) are all quiet spaces. The large play area is incredibly fun. The water room is well stocked and maintained. The place is immaculately clean. The staff is friendly and helpful and love kids. And the art room has the most craft stuff in one place that I’ve ever seen.

    Actually a neat place. They had a huge climbing structure building fit for children sized hamsters, an elaborate water table area to futz with (bring a spare set of clothes for little ones, cuz you know.. they are great at staying dry..), plus other things I'm sure children would enjoy.

    Fantastic place for my three kids! They can be there all day and never leave the basement floor! We literally have been there all day and never made it upstairs from the jungle gym/water room floor! If you have several kids it is worth it to get the year membership! Pays for itself:)

    This is a great experience for kids elementary and younger. We took my nephew there and he is under one. I don’t recommend going on a Saturday since it’s so busy but there was a lot to do. Could have spent hours in there.

    Absolutely perfect childrens museum for all ages. We've had a membership since they opened and I can't recommend it enough. They're so friendly and it's so spacious with all sorts of activities.

    Got a membership at the CMC and I am so glad and wish I would’ve done it sooner! The kids love this place and there’s so much for them to do! You will not regret coming here! They have a little store area for food and snacks and a cafe. They also have a small sensory room for kids who have more special needs or just need some quiet time! They also have party rooms for party rentals!

    A truly great and enjoyable experience for all of the children. There was plenty of activities, kind staff, and space for them to engage their creativity, as well as burn off some extra energy in these cold months. There is something for every child here, and I highly recommend taking your kiddo's there if you can.

    This place is fantastic! My daughter was entertained during our an entire visit. There are so many creative play options that even my husband and I were impressed. The facility was very clean which was impressive with so many little ones running around. They also offer free parking and year round memberships! We will definitely be back.

    Perfect for all ages. Affordable and fun. Great for the winter. The new bubble exhibit is a great addition. We love starting upstairs with the Legos and dolls and working down and it's not so busy as a result. We have a membership and it's worth it!

    Very happy with the changes to the museum. My kids had a great time playing. Definitely very well maintained. I would recommend parents be cautious about the books that they have and if that's how you want your kids to learn about certain topic - Many definitely push an agenda in one direction or the other.

    First time visiting the museum, and it was super impressive! Very organized and clean with so much to explore. We had a blast! Parking is not the greatest, but it's free! It's a wonderful place for encouraging your little one with free play.

    We went to the mask required session first thing in the morning and had a wonderful time. I have an under 3yo child, and there was plenty for her to do; she didn't want to leave when our time slot was up! Will definitely come back.

    My kids absolutely loved coming here. The staff was lovely and made sure to give us some tips for our first trip. Only complaint is I wish they were open longer as we could stay all day. We will be back many more times.

  • 5/5 Diamond F. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a very cool place to take the children (even the little ones)! They have many things, such as a water area for the kids to splash at, a climbing playground, an arts and crafts area, and even a theater for the kids to put on a show! As of right now, you have to make reservations for 2 hour-timed tickets or guided rentals, and wearing masks depends on what kind of reservation you make. They also have a little play space outside for when you wait to get in, because they only open the doors when your reservation time starts.

    Good place to have fun in general. But don’t come during holidays or weekends in the winter since time limited session ended. Too many people even long line at the front door to check in. I’ll reconsider to continue the membership since the fee increases but less fun due to the crowd.

    This museum is amazing, and my kids always have a great time! The new bubble exhibit is so fun! I have three boys, ages 2, 5, and 7. They all have activities they enjoy while we're there. It was really busy when we went this week during winter break, but the exhibits were not too packed. There's a lot of them so it helps spread the kids out.

    So much fun for my 2 and 7 yr olds! Organized - 2 hr timed ticket required in advance. There was no waiting or scanning of tickets, staff simply found your name and verified the # of visitors. Masks required at this time Website is super informative Way better/more interactive than the Great Lakes Science Center for younger kids. My boys were even entertained by the doll houses because of the competition to find the logo hidden in each one. Appreciate the heavy-duty waterproof coat/aprons available

    If you have grandchildren, like I do, this is a great place to spend a few hours! The water room is a blast. Everything is well taken care of and the house is amazing!

    What a great place to take kids and family. There is something for everyone to do and the interaction you have with your loved ones. A lot of convenient outside parking.

  • 5/5 Chelsea W. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff is super nice. It's good for a trip but probably won't take my 3 and 4 year old there again, I feel like they did all the things to do pretty quickly.

  • 5/5 Nicole “Sung-un” P. 1 year ago on Google
    Really a great place to get membership for the year. If you go at least 3 times, you’ll get your money’s worth. So many things to do with the kids. The staff are great about trying to keep the place safe. Lots of fun having conversations with different parents or going there as a play date. My only complaint is some of the parents. This comes from the educator side of me, but man, it only takes 1 bad parent to ruin it for group of kids. If you’re going to take your child here, and you should, make sure you know how to discipline your kids and how to act like a good civilian. Allowing your child to break rules, or play unfairly in public areas, does more disservice to your child and their future - school, workplace, etc. Teach your kids wrong from right. Overall, most parents and families are great. Great option for covid toddlers to develop their social skills too. Highly recommend! They are still reservations only so book in advance!

    It's a WONDERFUL place of interactive play! There is an area for very young ones with very unique built in manipulative s & things to climb. Very comfy for a toddler. The other areas are fantastic! Water play with tubes & balls, a tubed wall that sucks up scarves & tosses them out at the top. Big wooden cars to take apart & put back together. Make-believe grocery store, tree house & stage with costumes & sound affects, an art room with instructor & the list goes on. -- Everything is very clean. REMEMBER you must make reservations & they are closed on Thursday. Staff is great. We have purchased 3 families a year pass which was on a wish list. So worth it! Great imaginary play!

    Took our 2.5yo here right when it opened on a Saturday. The place is huge and everything seemed super clean/well staffed. We loved the water area and the giant adventure city. Plenty of parking available and my daughter took almost a 3hr nap after getting so worn out!

  • 5/5 Brittany S. 7 months ago on Google
    My 4 year old autistic son absolutely loves it here. He loves that upstairs it's quiet and he can build things on the many Lego tables. He loves the water and bubble areas. It's always so clean and the staff are amazing. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. It's a bit pricey at $15 a person. We have the annual pass because we go at least once a week. It's definitely worth getting the annual pass because it's a great experience for everyone. Oh and on certain days they have live shows in the theater room. Amazing!!!

    My children love this place! They have great crafts for exploring your own levels of creativity. My children also love the water play area that included bubbles and the music area where they could pretend to play instruments!
