Reviews of Scott Family Amazeum (Museum)

Jon Be

We loaded up all the kids during a family holiday, and brought them here to run off energy. They loved it, and entertained themselves for a while. It was great that all the exhibits were kid friendly. My niece loved stepping on the indoor tornado.

Michelle Beccarelli

This place is awesome! It doesn't matter what age you are, this place actually does have something for everyone and every type of learner. Its a great way to get hands on with your kids while staying cool this summer. I highly recommend it! One thing to note, if you do want to go into the Hershey lab, tell the gals up front to make a reservation - it's free but you can't get in without a lanyard. So much fun!

Ladonna Buffer

Come for perfect family fun day.

Vamshi Kulkarni

Very good activity for kids. It will be a good spot for kids group activities.

Sean Burns

I originally went for my children. I could spend all day, if not week, as an adult exploring the awesomeness of the Amazeum. I hope my kids love it like I do!!!

Ash R

Kids love this place! There are so many different activities for them to do. We usually spend about 2 1/2-3 hours but I'm sure the kids would stay longer. It was really crowded so I do recommend trying for a day that wouldn't be as busy and going early.

Elise Poirot

My eleven year old was entertained but felt mostly geared for younger. The museum store would be a great place for gifts for someone of any age!

D C

My daughter absolutely loves this place! The staff are very professional and helpful. Just make sure to not go on Tuesday they're closed.

Lora Kay

My grandkids love it! They keep asking to go back.

Denice Butterbaugh

This was the best place I've ever taken a child. We had a blast here.

Brett

This is a great place for the family. Good for kids of all ages and adults will have fun too. There are arts and crafts, painting, etc areas and there are science and educational things to play with like wheels on spinning discs, blowing air, flowing water, sound and music, video, etc. Lots of places to climb and explore. Hours of fun.

Dustin Wheeler

Had a great time. Very good atmosphere. Everythings very clean. The gift shop and snacks are not overpriced :)

Eric Elliott

Great for a few times but not enough variety. We've been to several children's museums around the country and wish ours was a little more substantial. It's a good start for a 'smaller' community, but I hope for some future improvements.

Megan Whinnie

Our group of 8, 6 adults and 2 kids had a fantastic time. The adults were just as excited to play as the kids and everyone was friendly and involved. There is a nice variety of exhibits and is a great place to spend an interactive afternoon with the family.

Cody Heinen

It has a assortment of interactive display. The entire family enjoy our visit.

Dalton Papin

Took a class on a field trip here and the staff was very helpful.

Angie Amador

This place is so much fun.

Amalthea Wilde

Fun place to go. My daughter could spend the entire day here. Provides a great opportunity to teach children while they explore and play.

Haleigh Stewart

We've been going to Amazeum since it first opened. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The facility is always clean. My family has so much fun each time we visit!

DAVID MEINERSHAGEN

A fun adventure of STREAM activities that both our boys loved. Just a short trip from the Joplin/Webb City area, it is well worth the time spent!

Mike Peak

This place is awesome! Kids love it and can learn a lot there as well. We have a family pass and go often!

Jimmy Garrison

Family is correct. This place is not just for kids.

Kyle Green

It's in the name. This place is amazing.

Dan Gray

Fantastic place to spend some time with the little ones. Lots of fun and educational interactive exhibits. 5 stars.

Brandon C.

Good family fun. Great place for kids to play and learn.

Chad Sitze

Love going here. Would love to see a faster pace of change in the rotating exhibits or more weekend oriented special events. As a non custodial father weekday events are usually out of reach. Edited to four

Tosha Vv

We got a yearly membership the first day we visited! Great place for kids. We always spend hours there, especially shopping in the walmart area.

Dawn Donato

So many activities to keep children engaged. Happy birthday!

Joshua Q Mostyn

I love that my kids love to go to the Amazeum and learn. There are always interesting exhibits. We never miss Tinker Fest!

Toni Dicus

Love this place! So much constructive fun!

Angela Atkinson

So Wonderful. Went with 100 + 1st grade kids. The hands on and all the activities available to them really was excellent.

Dan Weibel

Kids had a really good time

Laura Wallace

We have a family pass bc it’s a great place to take the kids no matter the weather—rain

Melissa Miller

Our grandson loves their summer camps!

Linda Dossey

We are very fortunate to have a place like this in Northwest Arkansas. My grandchildren love going to the Amazeum. You don't have to be with them every minute as they enjoy the different activities. The gift shop carries unique and educational items. If you are going to visit the Amazeum more than once a year, I would definitely advise that you purchase the membership. It is very reasonable.

Dave Senter

This is a really cool, interactive place and we were fortunate to be able to experience it at an "adults only" evening event. While I'm sure it's fun for the kids, it was fun to experience it with other adults. If you get the chance to go on an adults only night, go and enjoy your inner child.

Elizabeth Hachtel

We had so much fun here. Wish I didn't live so far away! A great environment for learning! We got to go in the lab for a Hershey experiment! A great place to spend the day

Cheyenne Zucca

Visiting Bentonville and this place was recommended to us. Absolutely amazing! Our kiddo had a blast! We were there for 3 hours and still didn't do everything.

Savannah Smith

I’ve only been once but it was amazing when we went. I now have my own kid and I can’t wait until I can take her because she will just love it as we did.

Vaughn Buck

It's always great. At 3pm almost empty so lots of fun.

Mike Scharff

Really cool things they have for kids. Very educational

T Williams

Sooo much fun was had here. Loads of lewrni g and playing. A definite stip everytime we come to visit. Dont hesitate. Your kids will love it and you will have fun and learn some stuff too!

David Holiman

My two toddler daughters loved every bit except for leaving!

Christopher Hines

Two visits in the past 3 years. Almost nothing has changed, but it didn't need to. Easily a whole day of fun for little kids. A truly AMAZING experience.

Anton Korolev

Amazing discovery place for kids and even tons of fun for adults. Staff are very helpful in guiding.

Quinton Hamp

we loved the Amazeum. excellent things for the kids to do and laid out in a way that is safe and easy to keep track of the kids. also a lot of things the kids wanted to do multiple times which kept us busy. we spent about 3 hours there which was enough time to leisurely see everything inside without getting bored. the best part is the the kids left with a sense of exploration where everything in their world suddenly needed to be touched. I think this place was good for their overall development

Paula Stern

Great adventures here for 4 and 8 year old boys and 2 yr old girl. We come at least once a week

Charles Astor

My son loves it. If you live around the area I highly recommend the membership.

Donna Drouin

Love everything my granddaughters ages 18mo and 4 had great fun

Eric Simmons

Great stuff for kids. Be careful of narrow stairs. Loved their (temporary) 6 and under area.

Israel Jernigan

We love coming here. They have a new exhibit where you can make stuff out of cardboard. But these photos are when they had the amazing slides made out of tape. Not to mention all the other amazing things that they have their. Our kids love every bit of it. And taking a lunch to eat outside is always a win too. Especially during the summer when it’s so nice out. If you leave bear here and have the means you should definitely check it out.

Lara Carswell

So much fun. Probably best for ages 10 and under.

Mona Barker

Love the place . My 3 years love's going and evertime it's like the first time to him

Jacob Graves

I take my Girls here every week. We look forward to it and the time we spend here makes any problems we had throughout the week disappear. We learn amaizing new things every time we go here. The staff is kind and courteous and have never been anything but very welcoming to us.

Ashley Wieneke

Our son had a blast here! I would have given 5 stars, but the the cost is pretty high for a single day pass! Also, it was a little stressful for my toddler to be running around with so many “big kids”. I wish they had more areas for little kids to play and not be in the way of bigger kids. We will definitely be back, but may wait until he is 4 or 5!

Kathleen Seals

What an AMAZing time! (See what I did there?) In all honesty, my stepson had a BLAST. There are so many creative things to do and so many kids that end up interacting and team building while playing. Future associates and leaders will start here.

Jacqueline Lovelady

This visit was so delightful. I took my grandson. He is 2 yrs old. There was so much for him to do. We stayed 2 hours and still did not get thru everything. We will go back.

Brandie A

This place really is amazing. At $9/person, it's a super affordable family activity, but it's only $99 for a YEAR of unlimited trips for a family of 4. I still can't believe it took me so long to do the membership. We also hosted our 3-year birthday party here, and the staff was so wonderful and helpful! It was just a great time. Do the membership!

Kimberly Spurlock

Great place to take the kids! Fun family place! My kids always have a blast. If you plan on visiting more then once a year I would suggest season passes.

Curtisstine May-Forte

Very good place to take the young ones 12 and under. They were thoroughly engaged from the farm to electronics, 4year olds to 12 year olds. We all had a great time.

Daniel Henry

Neat stuff you just didn't think of

David Hall

Great place for children of all ages, very interactive play area. A must-visit for parents with children in area.

Cs Educator

This is amazing place for kids to go. If they need to burn off some steam in a safe environment that is kid friendly and somewhat educational. They love it and might learn something.

RJ Ever

It's a great environment and a fun and creative way to get your kids to use their imagination

Crystal Ellis

Absolutely awesome place for young kids, so much to do

Brett McAfee

Interactive, stimulating, and educational! The Amazeum was thoughtfully created to fascinate children ages 1 to 99. Lots to see and do, and it’s well sponsored by Walmart and its suppliers. Worth the visit on a sunny or rainy day!

Kaylan Clark

So much to explore here! Even as an adult, I would love a chance to explore all the exhibits. I wouldn't recommend going with a time limit, just go on a day or at least a whole morning/afternoon where you and kids can go and experience it!

arman rashid

Great place to take your kids during weekends.

Twins Lindsey

My kids always enjoy using their brains and hands to play in this amazing interactive museum designed so perfectly for kids!!

Melody Lawson

This was a very fun experience. My children ages 2&3 loved it here. The chocolate workshop was a really good experience as well even though my children are young.

Trina Cornell

Top to bottom, wall to wall fun, amazement and wonder! My kids couldn't wait to go to a "museum" where they could touch EVERYTHING. This place has something for every age child and every interest! All 5 of my children ages 6 and under were nonstop the whole time! Very interactive. AND there's even a nice quiet, darker, cloud room if you or a child needs a place of calm for a bit. They can't wait to go back.

A

Absolutely amazing place to go! My toddler loved it and it made us parents wish we were kids again to play with everything. lol So much to do, can be there for hours! We will definitely be going back sometime! Loved it!

Aron Tkachuk

It's so amazing that everyone can enjoy the place!

Paul Hale

My kid had a great time! Lots of fun!

The ToolBox Taos

Another gem in NWA. Really inspired children’s museum with hands on exhibits and friendly staff. Excellent place for people of all ages!

Ryan Millican

My son loves this place. After our second visit we happily became members of the museum. This is probably one of the main reasons we go up to NWA.

Nick Black

My kids love this place, they always add new stuff, staff is very welcoming, and the membership is worth it. Thank you Scott Family Amazeum.

Daniel King

This place is great for small children. Our son is 13 months old, and he has a great time. We look forward to him being able to enjoy more of the exhibits as he gets older. The people there are friendly. They are open for free on Wednesday evenings, which is a great way to try it out. Bring clothes to get wet in if they like to play in the water. There's smocks there, but my son loves to go play under the weather in the middle.

Caitlyn Bowman

There is sooo much here for any age. My son loved this place and keeps asking to go back. It was very busy when we went in the afternoon, so I think next time we will go in the morning to avoid the crowd. The staff are really nice but not annoying. There is so much stuff here. I think it would take a full day to go through everything that is here.

Juan Mauricio

Fun, more fun, lots of fun. Has I little bit for everyone, from the tot to the dad, may be for kids but I enjoy it as much as they do. I recommend getting the membership for a year as it is cheaper if you plan on a few trips here. Lots of parking, has food and clean restrooms. Don't miss the activities for the day and we did the chocolate activity. Don't forget to take your time and enjoy every square inch.

Tim Cox

This place is great although there are some lines in different this place is fun and worth the money

Darlene Morris

This is a great place for kids ... they can touch and play with everything. Adults can play too. Paint on walls, make hershey chovolate, climb on stuff

Ethan Sam

Fantastic. My daughter (6) and son (2) spent 5 hours running around and exploring every inch of this place. There is so much to do and even on the busiest days there is room for everyone. They have separate areas for smaller kids (6 and under) the provide some shelter for younger ones to play and explore, which was great for my youngest. Lots of activities in the art area, plenty of “make believe” activities for imaginative kids (the Wal Mart grocery area is amazing), and a fair amount of physical/playground type things for kids that need to run off some energy.

Road Chaplin

My grandchildren had a great time..

Riley B & P1KACHU99

Lots to do. Lots to see. Nothing hated. So much loved. Bored as heck? Pick this place. Won't regret. Be so greatful. - Riley B the Doge

Samuel Burns

One of the best children's science museums I've seen. Truly a great experience, well worth the time and money. And it was fascinating for we adults as well as kids!

Eli Shoe

Very fun place to hang out with family and friends!!!!

Brandy s

Great place where kids can learn and have a fantastic experience at the same time! Awesome for your one or two kids or a large group. Toddler play areas and experiment stations make it perfect for a wide range of ages.

anita carroll

So fun and educational for all ages. We spent about three hours here and the two year old and five year old were very entertained...actually we all were!

Grace Heisler

Kids had great time. Lots of fun things to do

Tamra Spears

Great place to take kids, lots to, go early they open at 10am and close at 5pm, plan to spend all day if u want to have enough time to do everything! They have stuff inside and outside!

Ryan Miller

I am 34 but I will never be too old to play and be a kid. I love taking my nanny kids here because they always have a blast. (Ages 1-9) There's something for everyone. Even children with special needs are able to find at least one thing they feel comfortable with and are capable of doing. You should plan on being there quite some and please, make sure you avoid school field trip days. You'll thank me later if you make the same mistake I did and go on field trip day. The older kids just run right into the younger ones and basically don't pay attention at all. Overall though, I think it's an awesome place and great idea. I do wish they had more staff overseeing everything and being more in charge so I don't have to yell at other people's kids. :)

Connie Orsak

Great work in keeping the place in good shape. Many amusements and learning activities.

eric peterson

A good place for family fun. Especially for younger children. But, there is science to be interacted with. With that older children can discover more about the world of science.

Lindsey D'Amato

Our daughter had a blast and did not want to leave! Cute place and friendly staff!

E Sanborn

Awesome time with my 8 year old and 3 year free week old :)

Holly Pate

Exceeded expectations. My 4 year old and 2 year old both had a blast and didn't want to leave.

tina ahhee

What can I say that hasn't already been said. It was fantastic! My Grandson had a wonderful time and so did all the adults. The exhibits are so fun and educational it is easy to stay for hours and not be bored. We will be going back!

Melissa Kucyk

Lots to do to keep little minds and hands busy! Mostly geared toward littler kids, but my 12 year old also had a great time!

Ryan Green

For the price of going to the movies you can take your kids here and wear them out while engaging their minds in new ways as well. Not something you go to frequently over and over IMHO but everyone should go at least once. We'll go back in a year or two and see if they have new stuff, even if they don't the kids will enjoy it again, especially the younger ones.

Shannon Eck

It was a lot of fun! Lots of places and activities for kids to explore. We didn't even see everything and we were there for 2 hours!

Ray Herndon

Wonderful place to take kids. It has several hours worth of fun things for them to do. Water play, climbing structures, lots of pretend play, science demos, art areas, and a tinkering area. If that wasn't enough, the staff periodically brings out toys and games to set up in little nooks around the museum. It is $10 per person well spent.

Fantazia coats

I'm 18 and had my dad take me here yesterday I LOVED it

Kwasi Asante

My daughter loved here time here. Will do it again whenever anytime I'm in nwa

Tadeo Rangel

Good choice to make kids happy. You can eat your own chocolate...

Lance Jones

Really great place for kids! Lots of options, and engaging for the whole family.

G. S. White

Very nice place for kids to have fun. Lots to do.

Scott Baker

Yes! kids love it. And it's safe.

Daniel Coy

My son and I do too so much for him to explore and especially the water park. He had a blast no matter what kind of mood he's in

Brian Smith

A membership is the way to go here. Our toddler absolutely loves the place, and it's a great way to pique his curiosity and get him some quality physical and mental activity. Exhibits change frequently and the outdoor area is fantastic as well. We're fortunate to have such a fine facility in Northwest Arkansas. An additional benefit of having the membership: free admission to over 300 science and children's museums nationwide, and as much as we like to travel that's a huge plus of being Amazeum members. (Side note: we've checked out other museums in larger cities, and the Amazeum stacks up very, very favorably.) Fun for all ages here, great staff, highly recommended.

Alison Valderrama

It’s fine. It’s very loud and very crowded. It’s a beautiful space but the staff could be more attentive to “refreshing” things like the market food and the blocks etc.

Rachel Burnett

My kids absolutely love the Amazeum! They love going, and always have such a great time. There’s plenty of great activities to choose from, many of which are very engaging, interactive and informative. The food and drink area near the entrance is nice, albeit a little pricey. Great customer service though, and very friendly staff. You know it’s a good sign when the place is always packed!

Nathan Roberts

My girls love this place. So many fun activities to partake in. Everything is well maintained and safe for the kids. The Tinkering studio has really fun activities for the kids to try something different and interesting. Can't wait to come back!

Matt Hancock

Great experience and not over priced. My kids loved it. I was most impressed with the cleanliness and a staff member that I noticed engaging above and beyond named Hailey. She was smiling, treating everyone with respect, and engaged with kids and adults a like. Great job Amazeum and Hailey!

dakota brown

My kids loved it and to be honest I really enjoyed it as well.

Vivian Johnson

My grandchildren always enjoy playing here.

Dani Jones

The kids ALWAYS have a blast here!

Andrea Placzek

We've been members of the amazeum since before we even moved to bentonville. In fact, I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said it was one of the reasons we moved here. It's one of the best children's museums I've ever been to. It never gets old for my the youngest (8 yrs, 5 yrs, and 15 months).

Ben Cedarberg

Awesome Children's Museum. One of the best we have been to all over the country.

Carlie Pino

Had a fun time. My nana took me and my brother! Want to go back again.

Katrina Langham

Great for little kids - way too expensive for the average family. We did have a ton of fun, but not worth the price.

Jasmine Gary

Plenty of activities to keep the kiddos entertained inside and out. Could have stayed all day!

Jordan Mills

My kids and their friends had a blast here! We finally got to go into the Hershey Chocolate lab and that was fun to taste test with the kids! Make sure you get your Hershey lab badges when you pay for entry! The labs fill up fast as they only let a certain number in. Great place for fun, hands on learning and play!

Holli Hooten

So much amazing, fun learning play for kids!

deepti p

Amazing place .My 2 year old loves spending time here .There are lots of activities for kids of all age groups.Buying a membership card is an good option if you visit this place often.

Lewis Nordan

Super cool stuff for kids to experience and play with

Josiah Garber

This is one of the best children's museum's I've ever been too. The kids loved it and so did I. It is super interactive and hands on. Exactly the kind of museum I like and the kids did too. Would love to go back again.

Jason Thibodeaux

SO much fun for the kids! Parents can participate as much as they want! It was a blast and we look forward to going again and again!

Phil Allen

Fun and very interactive. My kid loved it

Keunjik Rhee

My suggestion is to get the season pass, it will pay for it self real quick if you take your kids there more than 2 visits out of the year. Most of the stuff is almost the same, every year they try to change it up so it’s not so boring for the ones that are pass holders. The activities that they have for the kids is pretty much “sensory overload” so they have tons of fun! Oh did I mention with the season pass you can go to all the other attractions within the pass specified location? Yep! I’m from New York, and I plan on taking my kids to the ‘liberty science center’ one day.

Sonya Peters

There are so many hands on activities for kids to explore & learn about. It's especially great for kids with sensory needs.

Daniel Dillard

It is a fun place to take your children and it is fun to watch them play.

Natalie Lindley

Our kids love this place! It is a wonderful place where they can explore & learn, & I don't have to worry about their safety!

Brandy Koffel

You can't go wrong taking the kiddos here!

Jeffrey Youngblood

This place lives up to the name. It's amazing. Me and my son loved it. It was a little hectic with all the kids running around so if you're an adult make sure you're well rested. LOL

eduardo kano

Always fun and interactive with the kids, great place.!!

Tim Wicks

Kids always love this place. Plus Wednesday nights are free nights for families!

David Beach

Great place to bring your young children for the day.

Mr&Mrs Brockus

Our kids love this place (3,5,7) The staff is super friendly and the exhibits were great! We have a pass to another ASTC (sister) museum, so we're able to use that to get in for free!! Their favorite part is the grocery store

Cathy Ray

I took my grandchildren and they loved every minute. The boys spent the most time at the conveyor belt moving boxes. We all had a great time!!

Alec Beckers

Great place for kids. And fun for adults too.

Ryan Hainlen

Absolutely incredible but I think every other review here says this already. My son could spend a whole day in one spot. Had to coax him on just to see it all. As an adult, I loved it as well. I definitely appreciate that you can open the hood on the tractor. Will revisit when visiting family again.

P Poindexter

Definitely going again, kids (9 &7 y/o) lived all the hands on activities! The take apart work shop staff is a absolutely outstanding!

Karthikeyan Sivanandam

Very nice place to spend a day with kids. Lots of activities for the kids and opportunities to learn while playing. Kids enjoyed it.

RedFox

Super cool, we were able to spend almost 2 hours there letting the kiddo play and most of the stuff is interesting enough to keep adults engaged as well. If only there was a bar of some kind...

Sarah Swartz

Amazing family fun! Definitely try the Hershey factory!

Myra Soapes

Three generations visited and a good time was had by all. The boys, age 8 and 11 loved everything about this interactive experience.

Cassey Henson

This place is so cool and my kid had a blast, she threw a fit when we had to leave lol. I even had fun! All kinds of things for them to do!

Drew Johnson

Amazing place to take kids and learn about science

Margie Hart

Incredible place to take the kids. Fun for both adults and kids! Very educational while keeping their attention! Only bad part is that the REALLY EXPENSIVE gift shop is right behind (with some displays to the side) the ticket purchase counter. The place you enter and exit. It’s hard because all children are drawn to the brightly colored displays and toys! This can create drama before even entering the Amazeum. It really depends on the age and temperament of the child at that given moment. I totally understand selling merchandise to help keep ticket cost lower, but it can be really hard for some parents. I wish they would handle this area differently. Even if you have annual passes, you must go here to check in. I know it makes me, as an O’ma, less inclined to take my grandson (even though we have annual memberships) because I’m either going to have to listen to him whine or if I do give in, I won’t get out of there for less than $25. They have less expensive items, but of course, most children want what’s on trend. It really limits my visits. If it were my option to open a door and take my child into the gift shop, I would take him at least 75% more. I wonder how much greater actual visitations to the museum would be if this were the case and if it would offset any loss of revenue from the gift shop. At the very least, I would think, this is something, on which, I would want a survey done. Maybe I am an anomaly and others don’t feel this way. But these are my thoughts. I genuinely DO love this place and what they bring to the children of NWA.

Mohammed Alshehri

I will never stop coming to this beautiful place as long as I am in Arkansas. My son loves it and has a lot of fun whenever we come here. I have found many things good for me too to play. Do not miss enjoying your time with your family in this place.

Jessica Shuey

Love going here with the kids each time I am in town

Dustyn Nail

This place is so cool. There are so many fun interactive displays. I was there for Tinkerfest and that was something awesome. They obviously have a lot of money through corporate sponsors, but that's alright. All the people working were so great; they seem to really love their jobs. I will have to stop by next time I'm in town.

RiverCracker261

Very good place for younger individuals but anyone can go.

Brandy Daniel

Visiting friends from out of state and this was a perfect way to spend a few hours so the kids could run around and be engaged. All kinds of activities and experiments for them to enjoy. Glad we went.

Miguel Salinas

This place is amazing. So many things for my kids to learn and have fun as well!

Aprilscri s

This place is so cool. My kids have been a few times and love it. Even us adults like to have fun

Kimberly Redding

There was plenty to do for the kids and everything was educational. Loved it. This is good for kids of all ages.
