Great busy place for small kids, probably ip to 7-8, our 6 years old had a blast. A lot if kids 1-2 years old with their own place to crawl and explore. Small area outside to explore as well. Otherwise, if you want your kids to stay occupied for a few hours , come and enjoy. Affordable entrance prices for adults and kids!

Super super cute children’s museum. I went with a 9 and 11-year-old and they had a really good time. There were a lot of younger kids around toddler age probably. But the older kids still have a very good time. The water area was definitely a big hit.

A wonderful little museum for children to play and explore. Featuring many hands-on activities that teach history and science in a fun and educational way. You’re little ones will have fun here and they WILL want to play with the water. The museum is designed mainly for children ages baby through 12 and the employees are friendly

My daughter's favorite place 😊 It's a great museum to be entertained and learn at the same time 👌

Went on a Sunday and it was very busy. All of the children were having a good time. Parking is a challenge but I believe the meters are not monitored on Sundays

Fantastic museum that's entirely interactive. Not even sure it's a "museum" because it's truly an experience. We'll absolutely be taking our son back and bringing as many friends as we can - maybe even having his birthday party there! The kids would've stayed in the water room the entire time if we let them and would suggest a back up outfit just in case (but they have great clothing souvenirs too)!

Definitely enjoyed the day. love the hands-on activities. Even better when we can do them together and learn at the same time. We will be back again.

The kids had alot of fun. The water room was AMAZING, we spent probably two hours in their alone.

We went with our 3 and 1.5 year old kids and they had the best time! It is small enough that it isn’t overwhelming and big enough to keep them entertained for good 3-4 hours. It also has tons of windows so you don’t feel like you are stuck in a building/inside all day. They additionally have a small outside play area. We went on a Friday and the place was not at all crowded. The staff was very friendly. If you kids need snack - take them with you…I don’t think there is anything you can really buy there. I definitely recommend going there if you have young kids or toddlers (although all the adults were enjoying themselves too feeling like kids again).

Friendly and helpful staff. We only had a short visit but we had a great time! They have different activities appropriate for all ages. Today we visited for the first time to celebrate my baby boy's 1st birthday!

Fun activity full of history. It is a little small compared to other Children's museums, but they pack a lot of stations in there. The staff were friendly and the facilities were clean.

The only drawback is they have 2 slot times for you to enter. One would think there would be a limit on people allowed in. The place was packed. Each room had way more people then should of been. Don't park in the parking lot, the patrons fight and won't let you out because they want your spot. Highly suggest parking behind the museum two parking lots back and walking the half block.

Worth the trip. We were staying 45 minutes away, and our two young children had a wonderful time. We stayed for 2 hours, and that seems like a reasonable time frame. Recommend that you get there 10-15 minutes early during holiday weeks, or weekends as the parking lot gets slammed. A historic setting only about 5 minutes from Brown University.

Like a playground but much cooler. 3 things that my kids loved most: 1: Vacuum tubes. Remember, the vacuum tubes take one scarf at a time. 2: Water room. The museum's water room is cascades of fun(literally) and a great introduction to understand the flow of water as element. Kids will get wet quicker than you can saw “vortex." For that reason, water aprons are provided. 3: Upstairs themed rooms: where kids can learn about themselves, RI multicultural heritage and the world. Dance, touch, measure, build, dress up - play and exploration are present everywhere. An advice for parents: wear comfortable clothing to keep up with your children. There are plenty of seating options to give you a break and inspirational quotes(in English and Spanish) to keep your mind busy if it needs to be. Next time we will bring our lunch and have a picnic in the many places inside or outside!
