REVIEWS OF The Children's Museum IN Connecticut

Melissa Freeman

We stopped here with our 2.5yo toddlers on our way from Boston to New Jersey to let them burn off some energy, and it totally did the trick. A couple hours of exploring and running around was just enough stimulation to keep the rest of the drive peaceful.The saw a bunch of little animals, played with puzzles and other interactive toys, ran around the toddler room, and spent some time outside saying hi to the coyote. I personally loved the scientifically up to date dinosaur room, and the bone digging sand box was fun. We also saw a live animal demo with sugar gliders. I would totally stop by again while on the road, especially since we get free entrance through a reciprocal membership.

Stephen Kramer

We went with our grandchildren boy 7, girl 3. They both enjoyed it, the 7 year old boy enjoyed it more. We were fortunate to have the museum to ourselves. There are school groups that come and visit. It is well used and loved. The animal displays are nice - turtles, snakes, small mammals, frogs, lizards. The dinosaur display and light displays had fun features, could use more. Enjoyed it.

lou zambuto

Very unique and fun museum for the kids. They loved the feeding time and getting to help feed the animals.

Albert Szablowski

Good entertainment for a few hours on Saturday! Kiddos especially liked the animal feeding time, where they were able to help feed the turtles.

Jillene Bertolini

The kids loved all of the rescue animals.

Kisa Kiss

The Museum is very expensive. For some place so run down. Everything is old, and some areas aren't safe or sanitary. Although there are fun things for the children to do that help you over look these flaws. They are still flaws.

Wanakee Guthrie

I haven't been here since I was a kid and it seems they haven't updated much. I took my son expecting him to love it as much as I did and besides the animals and the whale blowing water out he didn't care for any of the things. The way it's described online is not what is presented in the exhibits. The mos fun my son had eas liiking at the animals and we ciuld have webt to the zoo for that and its WAY cheaper there. This was way too expensive for what is offered.

Dominic Hudson

The children's museum was not only fun but also informative. There were many games involving logical reasoning which kept the kids as well as parents occupied. Arranging some cubes so that they fit into a box, guessing items inside a bead box, a huge box of legos, a race track to try the lego car and measure its speed were a few of the games.

Jason Young

Great place for children of all ages, live animals and plenty of activities

Richard A Adams

Fantastic! We took 2.5/yr boy and 4.8/yr girl and they absolutely loved it! So did we. So what if it is not gleaming new! The tactile stuff they have are among the best around. Don't miss it!!

Susie H.

The most expensive children's museum in the area and very disappointing. All the spaces are sort of isolated, and each are only moderately interesting, even for my 2 & 4 year old. We can spend 2 hours at the little Lutz Museum and all day at KidCity, but I doubt well last more than an hour here. What a huge waste of a lot of money.

Peter McMahon

A fun place for children and adults.

Andrew Gray

Lots of fun stuff for kids of all ages.

Clara Revel Chion

Beautiful place, the kids were so happy to spent the time there!

joelle dinerstein

It was very nice

brett hitchcock

I have gone to this museum four times since 1980 . The planetarium is my favorite exhibit but the live exhibits were awesome too on March ,24 2018 .

Raquel castillo

Looks like it needs a huge remodel but kids loved it and theres lots to see and do!

Jennifer Audette

Really neat place. My daughter had a great time.

Elle C Hall

Fun and educational. Light bright, clean. Elevators to get you several floors of exhibits. Easy to get to, park. Butterfly room was particularly interesting and it was a green welcome when we went since the winter was in full swing. Nice lil gift shop too.

Aerin Paulo

Great place for toddler age and up. Love the animals, really cool turtles and bugs. Can't wait for our little one to be older and have more of an attention span so we can see more

Aaliyah Hasan

My nephew loves this museum his favorite part is going inside the whale.

iEateggs Everymorning

It was 'aight. I liked the small animals, especially the bobcat, legless lizard, and turtles. The planetarium is nice too, and don't forget the walk-in whale out front - it's a Roadside America attraction.

Adrijana Allan

It has a lot of interesting things to be seen and the staff is very helpful and friendly. However it is dated and would benefit from a revamp.

Ocairy Silva

Good place!

Jennifer Schelly

Bunch of exhibits were broken it not functioning. Cool live animal exhibits. Gingerbread Lane during the holiday season was super impressive.

Queen Ragga Rasta

Shamefully not handicapped accessible in 2013. Too many stairs and unsatisfactory excuse about this being an old building. Where there is a will, there is a way. The show in the planetarium is a dizzying waste of time. Instead of taking a tour through the galaxy to see the planets and stars, we are made nauseous by the images of the planet as we take a ride on different amusement park rides on each planet. Just seeing swirls of color. Listening to alternative rock I. The background. They need a DVD from the UcConn planetarium or something. The exhibits are interesting and there are interactive things fort he children but to have yo carry a stroller up and down multiple flights of stairs is unacceptable and we will not return.

Sue Feinberg

Tons of activities for children of all ages. The memberships are amazingly affordable and I bring my 10 month old daughter there often to look at the animals and play. Even at 10 months old (not walking yet) we still spend at least 2 hours going through everything. Older kids could easily make a day of all the activities. The planetarium shows are a little hit or miss. I saw one about a polar bear that was just still pictures and a story, which was probably the saddest misuse of a planetarium setup that I've ever encountered (seriously, management: I love you guys but that polar bear video needs to go....). That said, I've taken in other planetarium shows there, like the holiday special, that were really good. But this place is so awesome overall it's still a 5 star experience for what you're paying. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to the animals and are happy to answer questions. You can tell the animals are well cared for and they let many of them run around after hours so they're not cooped up all day. Overall, it's so worth the money. I'll continue to get a membership annually because it's the best "cooped up on a rainy day" activity for kids.

Cara Nguyen

I have a membership from a museum that offers astc reciprocity, which this museum claims to participate in. Before they renovated I could use it easily. Now, while they they remain on the list from astc claiming to accept it, they won't honor it saying it's within 90 miles of the Peabody. Given that they have jacked up their prices much higher then other nicer museums, I'm no longer interested.

Josh Morehouse

Kids looked it, but a bit dated. Really disappointed that a place like this is not wheelchair accessible.

Lori Burdo

Such a fun place to learn

josue sierra

my boys always have a blast and learn new things aswell.

Michael Mackie

Perfect place for children ages 7 and younger. Not to big to over whelm a child. Has a great butterfly garden in the summer time.

KJ Richard

Great place to bring the kids!

Jacob Ritter

Outdated! I expect much better from Weha!

Adhavan Veeraiyan

Great children's museum! Lots of stuff for kids to do. Lots of animals as well...also they do spotlight of animals twice a day!

Leslie Ortiz

Love this place so much to learn see and appreciate worth buying the membership specially for winter

Kevin McCarthy

Sad

Gail Bailey

The children's museum was not only fun but also informative. There were many games involving logical reasoning which kept the kids as well as parents occupied. Arranging some cubes so that they fit into a box, guessing items inside a bead box, a huge box of legos, a race track to try the lego car and measure its speed were a few of the games.

Ryan Bartholomew

Have been coming here for years, is showing its wear but it's still very informational and fun!

Nicole F

When we pulled up I was NOT impressed this place looks like an absolute dump outside. If they didn't have the giant

ernie ehrenreich

Funny for all my kids bring your family and enjoy!

jillian ross

Great place for a few hours, then head across the street for lunch :)

Francesca Hart

Finally took my own 3 children after visiting with my students. Packed a mini lunch and there is a room in the lower level to sit and eat. Does have vending machines if you need, tables, chairs and sink to wash up afterwards. Great animal rooms and the favorite was the shadow wall.

Becca Lynn

Everything was on the kids level. They loved that they were able to touch and play with almost everything. Great little day trip for to get the kids out of the heat on a hot summer day!

Benjamin Root

Great place to bring your little ones. Lots of different exhibits, unique animals, and a planetarium! We held our son's second birthday party there, which included a guided tour, animal encounters, and two crafts with all the kids. Everyone had a great time.

Daniel Kelleher

My son is still regaling me with facts he absorbed, love it!

Karen McCormick-Wells

Great for kids of all ages, and live animals were a surprise !

Allison Talty

Visiting from out of town. This is the worst "museum" I've ever seen. Very run down. Smells very old and musty. No actual exhibits, just small rooms with certain themes. Do not waste your time and money.

Victoriana Reyes

I loved being here can't wait to go back

Frederica Weeks

Lots to see for children but planetarium film was very blurry-needs updating

Michelle Worsham

Super fun for kids

Nina Greene

Great little children's museum. Inexpensive and full of animals and fun exhibits. My almost two year old daughter adores it!

Monica Robotin

It's a good place for children, however I just can't see why the parents have to pay, as well. I also like that they improved the little kids room, as before it was very cold in there. I remember visiting it a few years back and I never wanted to return.

Jacob Breneman

Lots of highly interactive exhibits. DEFINITELY FOR SMALL CHILDREN. Lots of animals.

Masuma Shabnam

Good for lil kids, from a single place you can get lots of chances to to teach them with fun.

ANGEL CORALES

Good experience for little kids!!

Melissa Cimadon

Great variety to different aged children and clean.

Mark Lotterhand

I enjoy looking at all the cool animals

basia gaspar

Very friendly and helpful staff. Animals seemed well cared for. We got through the entire museum in 1.5 hours. We were bummed there was only one planetarium show, late in the afternoon. Even after seeing the entire museum and going out for lunch we still would have waited hours for the planetarium. Kinda bummed as that show is usually the best part.

Jennifer Tully

Always a wonderful experience for our children.

Ricardo Hernandez

Great place, great parking.

will batayte

I've loved this museum since I was a kid and I still love it to this day.

belogvardeets

Overall good place for the kids to spend an afternoon. Only thing that at I would not reccomend is the planetarium. Extremely low resolution. Not worth it.

Jennifer Harris

A small children's museum with some fun exhibits.

Devin Ayala

This place is the worst they get rid of the good stuff when you are older

Veronica Chacon

Small place but perfect for little ones

Elisa Hand

Very disappointed. We had been looking forward to experiencing this place with our little ones and are thoroughly disappointed and disgusted. This place is for children and was one of the most dirty and unhealthy places I've ever been. One of the exhibits included water bottles filled with colored water. A few of the water bottles had huge chunks of mold floating in them!

Amber Fabi

Great place for young kids

Daniel Ditz

The kids had fun and they learned a lot too. I enjoyed the animal exhibits.

David Gerrol

The staff is very friendly and great with kids. The displays and activities are really engaging for kids, especially the animals. The staff occasionally takes some out their habitats for the kids to pet. Here's the problem: Like many small museums, this one is underfunded. It gets no town or state assistance and must rely on benefactors and general admissions to operate. So, if you enjoy this little gem of a kids' place, please consider making a donation. Every bit will help. I have no affiliation with the Children's Museum. Just want to help.

Antonio Hernandez

Pretty cool place for the kiddies! The planetarium show is a little outdated, and it was pretty blurry.

marcin olszewski

Great place for small kids

Jackie Andersen

Came here based on reviews and honestly I’m beyond disappointed. The cost to get in for what it is is ridiculous. We are 2 adults 2 kids and 1 senior and $70 and change for 40 minutes of my kids being unengaged and bored. Aside from the lack of stuff to do I wouldn’t exactly say it is a clean place. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone and knowing the Torrington children’s museum isn’t far and is much nicer I will definitely go there from now on.

Stephanie Berk

Was nice, lots to see. Probably wouldn't have gone without the Groupon.

sandra b.

Loved it but you really need several hrs or a couple visits to just see everything so I'm getting a membership

Kate Davis

Great exhibits, but it's really hard to navigate. Little to no handicap access or stroller access

Bob Gallagher

Great whale sculpture outside for children to climb on. Fascinating butterfly exhibit and wonderful planetarium. Wide variety of live animals and several fun hands-on activities for pre and school age children. Very helpful staff, free, handicap accessible parking, reasonable admission fees. Website very informative. A nice little museum!

Ryan Ahrens

Very enjoyable experience, with many hands-on activities for children!

Lindsey Mercurio

It's the greatest place ever, and as an adult, you might only see the prices and all the stairs and what's wrong with it, and it might not be the high tech age of science museum you'd expect to see, but it will instill a lifetime of wonder and curiousity in your child. I went when I was little, and they did a demonstration where they made icecream with liquid nitrogen, and that was so cool to me, and do interesting, that it literally helped shape who I am today. I'm on my way to being a chemist because it helped form a dream and a passion. Isn't that worth it? To go there with your kid, and have them learn about animals and become a biologist, learn about physics and become a physicist. It might be old, and it might not be what you'd expect, but it's worth it even if just one of your kids is sparked with enough curiousity for a lifetime.

Shawn Riley-Rau

The children 4 and under area was amazing and my daughter had so much fun in there we didn't really see much else.

Wen Liu

Great place for the kids

Amy Johnson

My 9 year old LOVED all the animals. Unfortunately we were there when a large group of younger children were visiting. They were VERY LOUD, so we did our best to avoid them.

R M

The animals!

Bill Stamm

Replace for learning , activities and animals for children

Maxwell Vaughan

This place is incredibly outdated and poorly run. The children in my Summer Camp were quickly bored of the exhibits and were looking for things to do after 30 min. The mountain lion is gone. Half of the staff is uninvolved & disinterested. When booking a small field trip for my Summer Camp, we were charged for the children who had called out sick and did not even go. This is ridiculous and a terrible way to run a business, but there were no exceptions given. This used to be a fun and educational experience for the children, now it is a summer field trip that my Camp will be eliminating from our Summer Camp schedule in future Summers.

Greg Hardy

Have young child? You must go! Also, for picky parents or parents of immunocompromised children, they do an amazing job of wiping surfaces down frequently. That tidbit is from a friend whose daughter has a week constitution and loves how attentive the staff is

Bharti Wadhwa

The staff is very helpful and polite. Museum provides excellent learning opportunities for the homeschoolers. They conduct classes in Space Science, Physical Science and Life Science and the classes provide enough stimulation to the young minds. My child was very happy and excited after the classes. With Homeschooling sessions, you automatically get membership to the museum for six months. That's value for money. :) All in all, I recommend this place.

Lisa Z

Great place for kids to have fun!!

Martina Johnson

My favorite area museum to bring the grand kids. Plenty of things to do and see. The kids are never bored and neither am I.

vlora Ramadani

Fun place for kids to learn, and not even notice they're learning. Theres a lot to do. It's not that expensive .they have cool shows as well! You can leave for lunch and come back if u want and they allow your own food and drinks!

Ken Berchem

We found a Groupon and made a trip with the kids, lots of fun. They have a wide variety of things to capture their interest from animals to science experiments to simple imaginative play things. We'll be back, but I think they are looking to expand so check before you go.

Deirdre & Matthew VanDeursen

A fun and educational place to bring kids for an afternoon or morning.

Annisa Farese

A Greater Hartford institution that deserves our patronage and ongoing financial suppport. My husband went there as a child and now we bring our little one. I hope someday he will bring his kids to visit Connie and her friends.

jaimie Arnold

We will be back very soon! We went too late in the day so we had to rush but we loved being there!

Lisa m

A great place to kill an hour and a half.

Kelvin Olumese

Great and informative for the kids. They even have live animals

Jose Martinez

is not bad for what we paid

Maria Coleman

I worked as a volunteer for the exhibits. It's an awesome job. I learned a lot.

Lauren Ijomah

The Children's Museum is okay, but unfortunately it's pretty expensive. Even with a library pass it was $20 for admission for my 4-year-old and myself along with a planetarium show. We had an enjoyable afternoon and my daughter especially loved the Lego cars on the bottom floor and the color exhibit, but with so many great (and less expensive) places for young kids in the area, I doubt we will return. The Roaring Brook Nature Center is owned by the same organization and is one of our favorite places to visit on a nice day. It's also much more affordable!

Amanda Hughes

Fun for probably 10 and younger (though I had a great time too). Coat area by the front desk. Only found one bathroom, has baby changing table, large stall, low sink. Live animals and reptiles, even has certain times to pet them. Face painting (tips), lots of themed rooms, tons of hands on activities (nothing was easily broken). A snack room with vending machines, a gift shop. Outdoor things (did not get to enjoy/ weather permitting). There was a movie about planets for extra cost. We would definitely by a pass.

Scott Byrd

Kids have fun there, but it's small and building is showing it's age.

Sasha Krushnic

Fun times sweet animals nice kids

Hope Mack

My 6 year old girl had a blast. They had an animal demo with snakes and a ground hog while we were there. She liked the blue foam building room and the camping area the most. Whisper disks were pretty cool too.

Sophia Chrostowski

i remember coming here in kindergarten. it was a disgrace. COMPLETE and utter disgrace. the fact that i don’t remember anything interesting from this experience is heartbreaking and appalling. i remember eating a chocolate cupcake, that was not near delicious, and leaving. this is obscene, i am now 14 years old and remember this awful experience. good bye.

Adam Schwartz

I consider our family experts in Children's Museums. So I can say that the Children's Museum at Holyoke has concentrated most of the best features from children's museums around the country into a very compact and achievable space. If you're passing through this town, Balmain stop and explore for an hour or two.

Melissa Herpst

It's a nice museum just thought there would be more than what it is

Matthew F

I really enjoyed the interactive exhibits and their huge turtle collection!

David Antico

Nice, but small and outdated for the cost. A decent amount of animals to look at.

karen luna

Great place¡ is good for little kids. They can find a lot of dynamic activities. Nice place for 2 or 3 hours.

Stacey Soumahoro

We absolutely love the museum very educational for the children.

Kim Morelli

Wonderful museum, kept my 2year old entertained for hours. It was just hard for me to get around due to all the steps and no elevators.

Bruce Johnson

Super fun for the kids. Great place to spend an afternoon

Josh Smith

My toddler loved it. Great place.

Jessica F

Very underwhelming! Costs wayyyy too much for what it is. Exhibits are old, many not working, and they are not very elaborate. Sorry to say this is probably the worst children's museum I've been to when factoring in the ticket price. Also, using a stroller here is very difficult. There are MANY stairs and no ramps or elevators. I will say they do have a lot animals and the whale statue is cool.

Liliana Monteiro

Tons of fun. Brought my six and one year old and they both thoroughly enjoyed themselves. A bit pricy but a nice treat.

Nicole Marie

This is an OK Children's museum. Seems a little run down and not as clean as others but my daughter still seemed to enjoy. It is not at all stroller friendly so keep that in mind if you have a baby.

Heather Henry

I love the children's you down you can get free passes from a library and it's a great place to go during the winter to get some energy out and see some very cool things love taking my little one to the IMAX

Jessie Bouclier

Great design, really cool for kids. A bit $$ but worth it.

Ed Murphy

We took our granddaughter, and found it was just big enough to keep her attention, just small enough for a good day trip. The displays were very interesting, and our granddaughter loved the animals. We particularly liked the planetarium. It was a bit more pricey than we had planned, but the staff and facility were both above average, so we didn't mind.

SAB SAB

Nice place to go with children. There are a lot of learning stations here. My granddaughter loves it. There is a nice picnic area. This is the perfect day trip for the family. I can't wait to go back.

Sarah Butterworth

We originally planned on going to see a show at the planetarium they have but they were having "technical difficulties" and canceled every show for the day, even though their website stated the planetarium shows were running. Other than that, it's a pretty cool place. There are a TON of children's activities. There were about 4 different birthday parties going on there when we went too so they definitely have the facilities to hold parties there. We had a nice time, even though the planetarium shows were canceled.

jennifer davis

We had our daughter's 6th birthday there today and I cannot stress enough how amazing our party pal Ellie was. She was so patient with kids but still helped keep all of the kids under control. We got a demo of 2 animals that the kids got to pet, followed by a private tour with Ellie and her helper, time for cake and pizza, and finally a craft to wind down the party. I would highly recommend The Children's Museum for a party. They were so great!!!

Cori Magnotta

My toddler spent all day there. Clean and fun place!

Faith Hope

Seriously they need to tear this building down and rebuild...keep the whale as some kind of relic. Recently had a party there...bad idea...the issues started with my very unprofessional party coordinator. Everywhere is dark...no brightness or cheeriness the exhibits are sad and unkept. The animals are the only bright side, loved the bunny and the turtle.

Dave S

Kind of dumpy museum. Most of the place smelled like mildew. Animals were mostly in small, sad enclosures. Some of the exhibits weren't really exhibits, for example a cardboard puzzle, or a display case with dinosaur related toys. It was seriously the dinosaur from toy story, a dinosaur comic and a few others. The butterfly enclosure was nice but not really the kind of thing that holds a kid's attention. Overall just a sad place.

Cassandra Giovanni

It was good, but honestly, a bit pricey for what it is. If it were cheaper, we would consider coming again. Felt a bit dated, but there were some fun animals

Lena D

Overpriced and not user friendly for parents with small children. I cannot believe they do not have a elevator or even a ramp for people with disabilities. Also the big cats are sad to look at....cages are small. Kid city is half the price and way better no sad looking animals there.

Kayla Stewart

Good spot to entertain the younger kiddos for a couple hours. There's some animals to check out and activities the kids were really into. Not stroller friendly!!

Erica Perry

A great day trip for the kids with tons of stuff Rio Leo the kids occupied!

Derek Szmyt

Biggest waste of money ever. Nothing is maintained and you can see basically all the animals at your local pet store. Don't waste your $ or time.

Tai wrilsd

For the price it was . It's was not worth it . Overall experience was subpar as the animals are confined in small spaces. The only thing that was interesting was the basement portion where the children did hand on activities involving legos.

jackie lenox

very outdated as everyone else has said...and very expensive for not much. luckily I'm a member of kidcity (which is fantastic!!!!) so I got 50% off which is still too much for this place. my 3 year old did spent about an hour here,. I really wish our last stop hadn't been to see that poor Bobcat pacing in his exhibit clearly losing his mind! please get these poor miserable animals a home somewhere more suitable!!! horrible! for this reason I'll never go back.

Keith Schmitt

Great place with a lot of really fun things to do great to occupy the kids even in the winter

Love Gilmore4

Lil pricey. No ramp for strollers. But was place to visit

Brianna Fenn

I quite enjoyed the museum but was I upset that many animals seemed to be in cages or enclosures that are too small. It also was very overwhelming with so many students from field trips there - they were being loud and seeming to scare many animals, which in turn makes them hide and leaves other paying visitors unable to see them! It would be helpful for museum staff to monitor the behavior of students visiting as well as encourage the school's staff to be more mindful.

RoseAnn pappa

I was not impressed at all. You have two foxes, an owl, ferrets, a bobcat an opossum, snakes and lizards and the Turtle room There was an interesting little guy from Australia. The Lego room was nothing much, many missing parts and you couldn't build a car that ran! Three of the automatic screens upstairs were broken. I arrived 5 minutes too late for the showing at the Planetarium and understand fully why they couldn't let us in, however when I asked the staff if the next one about Weather on the Planets was appropriate for a 5 year old they said "Yes". Much too advanced didn't understand the vocabulary. Obviously your staff is ill informed! Using a pass from the local Library it cost $40 thank god otherwise it would have been $54 Certainly not worth the trip!!! The butterflies were the only thing worth seeing. But not too many varieties ! Ct really doesn't have much to offer what a shame!

Natasha Newman

Very mid friendly, great place for their small imagination.

Josh Smereczynsky

I've taken my kids to a handful of children's museums in the state and this was the best one so far. Kids had a great time.

Lisa C

This museum is surprisingly large and has quite a few unique exhibits. Both my 8 yo & my 11yo found lots of opportunities to be interested; they gravitate towards science activities. We easily spent 3 hours here. Because there were not a lot of patrons, it was relaxing for me as an adult. It was a cool-ish day so the butterflies weren't active. The dinosaur exhibit was new, I think, but not that interesting. My favorites were the engineering space and the color space. Kids loved the animals and all the hands-on interaction. The museum could use a bit of a face-lift (it has a 70's feel) and a food truck in the parking lot as there is no cafe, but there is a break room with vending machines. Overall, it's clean and interesting and worth a visit if you're looking for something to do with younger kids. If you live in the area, a membership is worth it for 2- 6 year olds.

Yaitza Nieves

Expensive, they no have any good attraction, and the animals are sad

Michael B

Great staff and kids enjoy the many rooms of adventure

Xo Xm

Fun for the kids.

Amirah Alfar

Amazing place for toddlers, young kids and preteens. We had an excellent trip and plan to go again very soon.

Brianna Dean

Not child friendly, rude staff, disorganization, lack of exhibits. NOT worth even the groupon price. Spent several minutes with another parent confused on where the exhibits were. Nothing but glass windows that are colored with 3d glasses and a room with blocks and other boring activities. Children occupied themselves by chasing eachother around and then got yelled at twice by two staff members for being too loud. Was really disappointed and their animals NEED better housing.

Khaled Rahman

Good musium for kids

Tiffany Anderson

The conditions of the animals were horrendous! I asked for a refund and left! Unacceptable! Run down and unclean.

Tracy Janik

This is a nice museum which has a program for day care during school Vacations. My daughter and her friends did the program a few days over April vacation and loved it

Shawn Hubbard

Fun place to take little ones on a rainy day.

Jayme Lamphere

Hold a membership. Kids love it.

July Santi

Very well mantained and clean. Fun for the whole family.

robbie111250

Great place for kids 3 to 12

Ashley Benton

Fun for older kids. No ramps for strollers.

Anthony J. Power

Great place for small children

Michele Valentin

Absolutely love the planetarium! And so did my 3 yr old. Best experience ever!!

Michael Duval

Good local museum! Kids loved it.

Amanda Duffy

It was very dated and held together by duct tape. It was not interesting for my toddler, although he did enjoy the animals. On the expensive side for what you get.

Thunder Muffin

My kid loves this place plenty of activities to keep your child entertained

Lisa B

My 7 year old grandson absolutely loved it. He is so into dinosaurs this year and they added an entire floor of dinosaur exhibits. Well worth the money!!
