Reviews of Imagine Nation, A Museum Early Learning Center (Museum)

Kristen Jacques

I took my son (1 1/2 year old) here for the Happy Hearts event. My son went into the room with the blue blocks. He was excited to play with them. There was a activity set up in there. There was not one sign posted that the blocks weren’t allowed to be touched. The staff member in there rudely told me that they aren’t allowed to be played with. I apologized and went to get my son who continued to try and play. She than huffed at me and told me that there is a fragile activity set up and they aren’t allowed to be played with. For one why have toys out if children can’t use them. And two the women doesn’t need to be so rude about it. He is 1 1/12 years old. He doesn’t understand why they have toys out for no playing. Never going back here. This place was awful. Better off doing the drive to Middletown and going to Kid City.

Kids had fun but everything seemed somehow incomplete to me. I feel for the price we paid there wasn’t much excitement to be had interacting with kids as an adult. Everything seemed like “half done”. Water table had barely any toys, wood shop was a hot mess, art station had glue crayons markers, pencils and scissors, No paint? Kitchen area was messy and incomplete, Sand table was table had a projector but no sand toys? Dark room was cool but nothing much inside... needs more things to make it worth $10 as an adult!

My son loves it here. Automated sand box, LED logic play floor, giant water table and really cool room with giant foam blocks to build.with. numerous activities and a great staff.

My two year old daughter had a blast here. Everything about this place is very toddler friendly, and encourages them to walk up and play. Each location is broken down into something such as, the art room, or the wind area. There is also a water table for the kids to play with, and a full pretend kitchen. Staff was super friendly.

I was near by for an appointment and over heard the Staff yelling at the children... That will not teach them anything....so if your child attends the day program I would question the skills of staff working with your children

This children's museum has been my son's favorite forever. He is now five and a half and can still easily stay five plus hours there. There is so much to do and every time he goes he is entertained and learning with the new things they put out. My son loves arts and crafts and their arts space is amazing. This museum is so much better than kidcity (which is packed, dirty, and too young for older kids) or the science center which charges too much. This museum has a cute, small cafe where you can buy something or bring something in and eat. By far my favorite children's musuem in central CT. The staff is also always wonderful and helpful.

This place is nice, pretty clean, the exhibits are in good shape, and there are interesting activities. However, Kidcity in Middletown has the same admission price but they are much bigger and they offer more entertainment for the same price.

Great museum for the littles. Tons of activities to do so it never is the same visit twice.

Susan Matthews

Went there for the first time today. The place is AMAZING!!! Bought a family membership. The people are great, the place is fantastic, and the price is reasonable. Can't wait to go again!!!! The kids LOVE IT!!!

Lindsay Matthews

EVERYONE WILL LOVE THIS PLACE! FROM AGE 1 TO 100! My kids have the year pass and it is worth every penny! Just look at their faces!

Jessie Medina

The staff was extremely rude and unprofessional. They even seemed racist at some point during my visit. This place needs better staff members. Overall, the kids loved the place. One star rating because of the staff members, but the museum is worth visiting.

Great for kids. 3+ Mom & Dad had fun too.

Margarita Rodriguez

If my grandkid is having a good time then is a good place! He Loved it didn't want to leave the place. Hands on everything geared towards small kids.

Ihor Dutka

It's planty activities which helps children to learn and many stuff to keep it clean, but nothing special to say "it's really worth to see". Good for one visit, don't see reason to come back.

We were in town with my husband on a work trip. It was a rainy day and I needed to get out of the hotel. This place was recommended by a friend. It did not disappoint. My son who is 2 had a blast. The workers there are so engaging and friendly. I was wearing my 4 month old and they helped with things and really got him involved. There were two levels and it was all hands on. There's a whole art place where they can build, paint and craft anything they want. He loved the water area and the interactive floor the most. I will be def returning if we come up this way again. There is a little cafe area and prices aren't bad from what I saw.

Staff is the best, a lot of fun activities for kids!

Flash & Capone

Went today for the first time and was impressed. So many things for the kids to do ages 2 to 8. Also many staff were available and do friendly. Impressed that they kept the place so clean, and noticed them sanitizing all of the toys the children play with. Nice open space, and you can literally send hours here (we spent 4!) We will definitely be back.

Went to the Water Carnival and it was so much fun. My kids had a great time. Thank you for offering such wonderful things to do in Bristol. Then I learned you have a pre-school and meet with a nice young lady downstairs and when my child is old enough I can't wait for her to start.

Went there with my family and spent $40 for a really quick visit that lasted less than 1/2 hour. Most of their activities were shut down: Baxter the robot was "sleeping", the sand section was all fenced and there were no more planets in the upper floor. My son wanted to use the water paints and the brushes so he got them from the counter (they were inside a transparent container). He got yelled at because apparently these paint bottles were supposed to be used for a workshop. The wildlife section had a big parrot, that we were not supposed to speak and make gestures at, because he would get nervous. This place looks like is more focused in daycare services. Will not spend more dollars to this place.

Very cute place, very small though not worth $10 a person.

Frank Tortora II

Really a cool place to take the kids to play with real life things. A lot of fun for the kids for hours.

Sarah Lucian

Tons of fun for kids ages 2-10! Indoor and outdoor play, old fashioned soda fountain and cute animals!

Suzeb Merina

My son has been going here since August 2015 and is thriving! He loves the teachers, they are friendly and polite- call me anytime somethings happens that I need to know- he is now learning to walk and falls often- they are very organized help with my sons medication as well- He recently switched classes and they made sure to make the transition smooth for him, I recommend this place to anyone for their children. They are very well priced also - which helps and if u auto pay u get vacation Weeks and credit! It's great!

Nicole Semba

Super friendly amazing place

rhyan wilcox

A little of everything for kids of all ages, very cool place!

Tim Malone

This is a really nice children's museum. They have activities for all ages that really seemed to engage the children. I like that there is a cafe in the lobby in case you get hungry. They used to have more active exhibits (including this series of climbing tubes) that they have since gotten rid of. It would be nice to have more opportunities for the kids to burn off some energy, but I imagine there were liability issues. The water area was a particular hit among my kids.

Step Hen

I really spilled my baked beans in there...

Susan Cooper
