Reviews of Children’s Museum of Idaho (Museum)

Ian Taylor

Man what can I say! My kids love this place! My 4 and 7 year old sons have so much fun whenever we come here. The airplane and pizza shop really excite my kids each time we go. I definitely recommend this place for anyone who has children.

Great indoor place for kids with lots of interactive activities! (Outdoor was closed due to rain) the kids seem to love it and we spent several hours there until the fun was ruined. The behavior that was displayed to us as well as a couple other children by the Executive Director and her second hand person was appalling. These two are certainly have no understanding when it comes to children at PLAY. They also do not understand the very basics that go into customer service! Myself & 2 other adults attended and we had 4 children under the age of 5 with us. The kids were actively playing with the toys in the room when the executive director walked in and acted as though her heart had stopped. She could not believe “the mess” that the room was and walked around berating children and parents to their faces saying they needed to pick up the room. The adults in the room stepped in and said they had planned to pick up the room, just as we had with all of the other rooms we played in today. But there is no sense cleaning up and putting away toys that kids are actively using and playing with. The director then went on to still berate the parents saying they need to keep better watch of their children so that they don’t make a mess at all. (Again clearly she is in the wrong business if she doesn't understand how children play they aren’t a Fischer Price commercial) and when parents tried to explain this we were just met with scowls, dirty looks & rude comments/excuses on why we should be better and that they are allowed to be upset because we “would not believe how many messes they have to clean up in a day” (Again, not a customers problem). The secondhand person then began cleaning up the room while huffing and puffing and making a scene about how hard it is. (Toys that were being played with and parents were no given a chance to pick up said toys, one dad told his son he had stop playing with the toys so he could give them to the lady who was cleaning up.) The executive directors face and attitude was not that of a person who enjoys knowing or being around children in any sense and does not understand basic communication. So your kids will have a great time so long as you don’t have to deal with the ED and her protege. 4.5 stars would have been given if we hadn’t been disrespected at the end.

Liana Martinez

What a fun place for little kids to play and learn! My two year old had a wonderful time!

Trom Dillinger

Cool place for the kids for sure they love it

Deborah Boyd

Location was clean and the staff friendly. Took my almost 9 year old son and 4 year old daughter. Most of the areas are intended for the 5 and under crowd, with a couple appealing up to 7 or 8 years. My daughter loved the grocery store and pizzeria, since she could engage in great pretend play. My son was bored out of his mind, aside from playing a bit with the trains. $8/person seems like a lot to spend for my daughter to make pretend salad and pizza. Would be worth the punch card price if you have toddlers plan to go multiple times.

Casandra Bergquist

It has quite a few different areas your kids can play at, but it is smaller so call to see if there are field trips before you go.

Mark Navarrete

A fun place to take your kiddos to. My kid is 3 and he enjoyed it. A really big place with lots of actvities both indoors and outdoors. It had an educational aspect to it. Also wheelchair accessible also for those that need it. Definitely worth checking out.

Sarah Adams

Not worth the cost in my opinion. Not that much to do for $8/person. The exhibits are not all that great and already in poor condition for a place that just recently opened. Definitely not meant for kids above 1st or 2nd grade but the younger kids would enjoy it. The kiddos were able to explore the whole place in about an hour before they got bored and they are 3 and 5 years old.

Alan Davies

The kids love it. But, management needs to pay a little more attention to small safety issues and making sure exhibits and items are functioning properly.

Stacey Bullard

Grear place to take younger kids to learn and explore.

Stephanie Mason

Perfect for littles! Lots of fun activities! My kids had a great time.

Leah Zohner

Space is small. Really happy with how much they are working on bringing great things for kids

Brittany Steadman

The Children's Museum of Idaho opens Dec. 2, 2018 and will offer over 23 indoor and outdoor interactive exhibits to ignite the imaginations of your little ones. Exhibits include a Trader Joe's mini grocery store, pirate ship, Idaho Pizza Co bistro, rocket ship, airplane, vet clinic, dentist office, Moutain West Bank and much more!

Joan Paul

What a GREAT place! So many hands-on experiences for children to learn and play!

Stephanie Zimmerman

Kids never want to leave!

Penny_ 208

Great place for toddlers. Lots of things to do and see.

Bizzy Schorr

Awesome awesome place for toddlers and young kids! So much to explore! And the staff are super friendly, helpful, and do a spectacular job of keeping the place tidy despite the chaos. They are so patient!

Jessica S.

My two boys had so much fun! So many interesting hands-on activities, it kept them busy for hours. They’re already asking to go back.

Jonathan Alizo

(Translated by Google) Excellent museum where children will have a good time learning and having fun with all the attractions. (Original) Excelente museo dónde los niños pasaran un buen rato aprendiendo y divirtiéndose con todas las atracciones.

Brittany Fernandez

Wish had longer hours. Really cool place my daughter went for her birthday and did not have time to see everything. :(

Kelli Spayd

Its different than what I expected. I was hoping for more science hands on stuff and instead it is a lot of community simulation activities. However, my daughter did enjoy the gardening and Trader Joe's display. This is great for 3-5 year old kids who have imaginative play. It was very busy on Saturday. I look forward to seeing the outdoor exhibits this spring.

Todd Bertapelle

My almost 3 yr old granddaughter loves going there.

Isaac Allen

Great place to take your kids to learn and play at the same time.

Brittany Sullenger

My family visited the new Children's Museum of Idaho a few weeks ago for the first time and my two boys LOVED IT! My boys (ages 2 & 6) enjoyed the many different areas of the museum. They enjoyed the farm, construction area, dentist, animal hospital, pirate area, cave, reading nook and multiple other areas. They also really loved making their own pizza in the Idaho Pizza Company area! It was great as a parent to be able to have my kids be safe, while also having fun and learning. We will definitely be back!

Nelja Westwood

I came here with my almost 19 month old son for a touch-the-truck event, and decided to go through the museum too. I was blown away. Such a wonderful place for kids! We will be back!

julia putnam

It wasn't the best childrens museum I have been to. It was $24 for me, a 6 year old and a 2 year old to enter my son couldn't do much of anything except the baby area. We first went for a zumba class that was crammed into a small room so my daughter didnt even want to try. The interactive computers inside the jet and airplane are confusing and the steering wheels in the airplane need a heavy dose of WD-40. I was excited for a children's museum to open in boise but I think it still needs to come a long ways to be on par with other ones. The reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 2 is because my daughter stated she had fun.

Marie J

Underwhelming experience here. To start, the woman at the front asked how old our toddler was. We told her it was actually his second birthday. Rather than, "happy birthday!" we got, "well I'm going to have to charge you for him." His grandparents were in town for his birthday, so we paid $40 for one child to play, that's pretty ridiculous, what a terrible pricing structure. It seems to encourage a lack of adult supervision. While the parental supervision may have lacked a bit, have no fear, they have staff members to walk around and wordlessly scowl at everyone, that'll keep the kids in line! The space is fairly small and was packed. The "exhibits" are all advertisements for businesses that you play in, that struck me as odd. I was hoping for enrichment - sensory activities and such, not stuffed animals in cages, though some of it was still pretty cute. It was much more a play place plastered in advertisements than a museum. All that said, my kid was entertained, but we won't be making the trek back out to Meridian for this place anytime soon (if ever). I'd much rather stick to the Discovery Center and indoor playgrounds like Planet Kid.

makenna65

Good price, clean, lots of thought put into each area. Kids love it!

Amber Hawton-Hill

This place looks amazing! Having a resource like this in Meridian where the lifestyle is so family-centric means its long over due. Glad someone has had the vision and talent to make it happen!

Michelle Wilson

Had a great time at the museum!!! My 3.5 year olds and 14mo old had a blast!! Not sure why there are so many negative reviews. Sure, it’s a new place so there are a few kinks to work out, but that’s to be expected! Lots of different stations and rooms for imaginative and real life play. So excited that we now have a children’s museum here! The only bummer was that while no food or drink was allowed in the Museum, there wasn’t a designated area to eat and drink or a place to buy food and drinks. Kids need to take breaks for snacks and water, but there was nothing. Definitely will be going back though!!!

Gwen Purcell

Really awesome play place for toddlers but... Quite a bit overpriced. Charging for parents is ridiculous. And when you charge for parents, at least don't ask them to clean up the mess too. My advice to the owners- should really take a look at Jabbers in Nampa and see what they charge and also note that Jabbers pick up after your kids too and provide parents with leather couches and coffee. The amount of activities was really great but I feel like the staff there are really up-tight church moms or something.

Ingrid Dryden

Great place for little ones! Ages 0 - 5 would benefit the most but is open for kids of all ages. Always clean and super fun.

J Hofstetter

I have always wished for a place like this to exist! It was nonstop fun for my two toddlers. They spent hours exploring, asking questions, and creating. Just when you think you've seen everything, you turn a corner and there's more! It is worth the drive to Meridian.

Steve Gone

Nothing to see , visit or review there.Will post the pictures of how it looked 2 weeks ago later.The place is under construction and closed to general public as in cerrado,ferme,geshlossen.To write an honest 5 star positive review should only be possible for a person, who has a profound knowledge about construction processes in place.I can understand when the person who never had a car distantly admires even Ford focus or Fiat 500,whatever the functionality and reliability may be it is still a vehicle, but Boise area has plenty of options for families with kids:Zoo,Center for birds of prey,parks , Discovery center,Chuck E Cheese's etc.Most within 5-7 miles from the center of the city. No urgent need to admire something,that might have been awesome yet is still not there. December is not the best month to visit anything in Idaho,I will probably swing by when the state properly defrosts in May or later.Until then hard to make a positive opinion about something yet to be seen.If it is a chain place there maybe certain expections though... Gotta keep myself busy until then find some beautiful places not yet open and review them,then share my viewpoint about few rare books yet to be written and discover where to get together with creative people to discuss imaginary places and events. Fun,fun,fun ;)

Al Tarasau

4 months ago one person wrote how good/amazing it looks ... It still looks like there is not much to look at from my perspective,still under construction and what amazed me was why would someone list it as open and confuse the travelers with small kids ? Tons of dust,dirty and not finished. What not to like ? According to gmaps they are open till 5 pm come visit,breath in some construction dust. The Museum is very educating indeed.

Joseph Slawson

Halfway between a kids play space and an interactive museum. Very enjoyable exhibits that kept a 4 & 6 year old engaged for about 2 hours

Kevin Hutton

The Children's Museum of Idaho is a great place for kids to learn about all different aspects of life, from food service and shopping to banking, veterinary science, farming and agriculture. It's a great place for kids to let their imaginations run away with them. Lots of creative things to do and play with are scattered all around the museum. They offer single or family memberships too which is awesome. We use ours almost weekly.

Tresca Mason

Such a fun experience! My girls loved it!

MC Hansen

The museum is well organized and clean. The displays are fun and engaging and the props are in good condition. We’ve gone twice in the last two months. My child has a great time when we go until we go to the bathroom. A children’s place should have children’s toilets and sinks. Small children can’t get themselves on the toilets or sit on the toilets without touching the seat with their hands. Then they can’t wash their hands because the counter is too tall, even with the one step stool they’ve put in there.

Andrew G

Great activities for younger children.

Addie Murray

A wonderful gift to Idaho!

Juli Pool

On Dec. 2 the Children's Museum of Idaho will be opening to the public. It is going to be amazing! The hands-on exhibits such as the Maker Space, the veterinary office, the dinosaur dig, and the dentist office (and so much more!) will be so fun for children and their families.

Nicole Walton

I can't say how it is everyday, when we went it was super busy, so we didn't get to okay with most thubgs. From what we did see, This place is meant for really really young kids. I would say 2-5, my older kids got bored really fast.

simon hirsch

Great facility.

Mary Fisher

This place looks like it is going to be just what the valley needs. I had the pleasure of walking through it, although still under construction, and the exhibits for the kids are unreal. Parents and little ones are going to love all the hands on things they get to do, all while learning something new. Love that a lot of it is based on Idaho and what is found around here. Doors open December 2nd, can not wait!!!! Checked out the website for pricing, are you kidding me, so cheap compared to other places. And they do Field Trips and Birthday parties....can not get any better.

Kristina

Clean & well kept. Interior is finished. Exterior says it opens in spring 2019. Good for about 2-5 year olds. Don’t recommend going on weekends or holidays as it’s a mad house. If your kid(s) go to daycare or any kind of friends house with varied toys they may be a bit bored as well as many “toys” and exhibits are similar. In my opinion a little ridiculous to charge adults $8/person to enter is all most adults do is follow their kids then sit on bench or stand nearby; talking to other adults or on their phones.

Katie Krueger

Been twice with my 3 kids age 6 and under. Fun for them all. New outdoor exhibits now open too!

Eric Grubaugh

This place is an absolute gem here in the Treasure Valley. Took our 3.5 y.o. to this multiple time now and she loves it! Great environment and plenty of "grown up" things for kids to do and feel like adults! Super fun!

Sydnee T

Cool exhibits, but it's kind of a bummer that adults pay full price to get in when the just sit and watch. HOWEVER, with a season pass, it's totally worth it! My kids (3 and 5) really can't get enough of this place! They can play for hours and then they beg to come back the next day. I have to say though, my kids favorite parts about coming here are the story/learning times. Often they include an art project. My kids LOVE them! The staff member who does them is always very attentive and keeps all the children's attention. They love it and learn so much. It's the little extra touches like these, that make this place such a good place to visit in my opinion. I highly recommend it!

Jilly Bell

We love our new children's museum. Our grandchildren love it too. Story time & art project with Erin is super fun.

Nathan Koski

We love it have been in desperate need of something like this in Idaho for r a while. Much more fun for little ones then the discovery center downtown. Clean. Friendly. Lots to explore. Trains, pirates, shopping center, and much more to find.

Camille Fisher

So much fun!

JohnPaul Jimenez

This place is awesome for kids, so much fun stuff for them to do. My son goes nuts for their train tables and all the interactive stations they have.

Dan&Julie

We brought our Niece and Nephew here and they absolutely loved it! There are so many hands-on things the kids can do including dressing the part! Our Nephew didn't want to leave. Definitely recommend!

Rachel Davidson

Many hands on exhibits. Essentially a place where kids are encouraged to touch, explore, and play. Great fun. Check out their Facebook page for the latest events and special crafts.

TiAnna Borg

Nice place for kids. But kids can't be kids here. Employees and Owner walk around and make kids move things if they are in the wrong area. When the owner is around we want to immediatetly move to a different area. Let's just let kids be kids. No military discount or law enforcement discount. Only discount is EBT.... I stand corrected. There is a discount for Military. However I have been asking about one before they were open and was denied every time I asked. Glad they can finally give discounts to those serving our country.

Elon Folkes

So New. So many different thinks for the kids, have nothing but good ckean fun. Staff is helpful and they take care of the activity areas well. Cool place.

Karen Oster

My daughter and her 2 year old son came from out of town. This was our 1st time there and it won't be our last! There are so many different things for "young" children to experience with their child or, grandchild. Personally, I'd say ages Toddler through 4th grade would enjoy. Yes, it is stroller and wheelchair friendly.

Sara Terrell

Disappointed. We had high hopes for the museum. It did have a lot of fun things to play with. It was much smaller than anticipated. The price was steep in my opinion for what it is. About the same cost as Jabbers but adults have to pay admission too so doubles the cost. My real issue lies with the staff. They were overly obsessed with keeping everything in order. There are different areas.... a space ship, a train area, a gardening area, a vet area etc (most of them are kind of giant ads but whatever I don't really care about that). If you want a cranky Grandma to take a toy out of your child's hand just have them walk to the wrong area with something. I understand trying to keep some order but it's a place geared toward imaginative play.... yet... a kid couldn't bring a piece of fruit 4 feet from the gardening area to the cave to pretend they are having lunch in there without an employee confiscating it like the kid is a drug smuggler. Another employee was literally telling children they were playing wrong and telling them how to play correctly. If they want to interact and play with the kids fine, but don't tell a child they are playing wrong and how to do it right! At one point an employee came into the bank play area and erased what my son had written on the chalkboard and reorganized all the money and the whiteboard.... WHILE THEY WERE STILL PLAYING WITH IT. She literally came in and deleted their play because it wasn't organized enough. Let the kids play- pick up and replace things that aren't actively being played with. I can't imagine going back. EDITED to add. There is a cow statue you can milk and it sprays water out of it's utters. I watched a little girl spray it at the outlet behind the cow and miss it by a millimeter. This needs to be addressed.

Justin McMurdie

We were familiar with Portland's Children's Museum, and were really excited the Boise area had gotten one. We were VERY pleased with the Children's Museum of Idaho. It is definitely not as big as Portland's, but it has over a dozen really cool exhibits. Our 14, 11, and 8 year old kids all had a great time. We look forward to going back.

Justin Weis

Fun place for kids. Nothing exciting but the kids will enjoy their time there. My son enjoyed the aquarium in the lobby more than anything inside.

Lance Young

Staff is rude to kids. One employee yelled and blamed our child for doing something he did not do. Multiple people agreed he did not to what she accused him of. Staff walks around hovering. If you don't want exhibits to be used, why have a kids museum? Won't be returning. Not worth the $ either.

Jacy Jones

This facility, opening to the public on December 2, is going to be amazing. I am standing in what will be the Veterinary Office at this moment. This educational facility will provide children with access to hands on, fully immersive, learning aided by their adult guardian. It will be a place for kids to learn, and what they are passionate about. We look forward to playing with you all in a little over a week!

David

It's fun, but not nearly as comprehensive as some others we've visited. But a good start! Trader Joe's has a great display.

Kristen Dean

My almost 4 year old loved this place! If I wasn't pregnant right now I would have signed up for a year membership. If you plan on visiting this children's museum 5+ times a year it is worth getting the membership. At least for a small family. 2 people are included for the membership. I'm sure they have larger options as well.

Kerri Doyle

Great for my kids (oldest is 8).

Alex Youknowwhoo

May I spell lllame with 3 letters just to signify my dissapointment ? Why would google even list the weird place as open ? Took my little kids there while visiting Boise area just to figure out the place is not open until December, they are still building it... Why would anyone want to list it as open ? And why write a positive 5 star review about a place , that does not yet exist ? Wishful thinking ? Contractors looked clean and tidy ? Is it the way they do business in Meridian ? You tell me...

Danielle Meyers

Great for 3-8 year olds, lots to do, and fun for parents too.

Mindy Crosley

The kids had fun but there is not much there, it took us 30 minutes to see it all. The pizza bar was fun for them and the vet clinic but other than that there wasn't much interaction.

Rosco Treat

Unfortunately Captain America was asked to leave since I came in a short notice.. I felt bad for the kids, children at heart, & the troops who felt Captain America was a great addition to the event!!

Melinda Smith

Went there with grandkiddies! Was fun! Worth a try!

Amanda Hamell

We got to visit the museum today for the first opening week. My little loved it, spent 1.5 hours and could have spent double that. Dentist, vet, constructon, exercise, garden, reading, bank, cave, toddler, train, space ship, trader Joe's, plane, pizza, and a pirate ship areas. Some exhibits were more engaging than others for my two year old. The cave and space ship had very little to interact with but the other areas were awesome. He loved shopping and making pizza and digging in the "dirt". I hope in the future they have an area with climbing like a tree house or more crawling like in the cave but longer. Stool in the bathroom for littles to use the sink. We will definitely be back

Lee Scott

"A Night at the Museum" event was well organized and well staffed by enthusiastic volunteers.

Megan Brown

Great for kids under 6yr. My 9yr played but not a lot of interest without friends. It was clean, well designed and great staff. Parents supervise their own children.

Margaret Elkins

Mark you calendars for Dec 2nd! The Children's museum of Idaho will be celebrating it's grand opening. The exhibits will be hands on and engaging for the whole family. We look forward to seeing you.

Dylan Holmes

Amazing place for kids to explore the wonders of being an adult. The various areas like the Trader Joe's, Bank, and Veterinary Hospital are my kids favorites. The always have events going on. Such a wonderful place for the family.

Ryan Wilson

Great place to take your littles for some inside fun.

Amy Day

Loved it. My 9 month old grandson squealed snd clapped his hands more than I've ever seen him do. Lots of fun pretend play areas, lots of opportunities for you to interact with your child.

Dawn Anderson

A great place to take the grandkids! There are several interactive features for all age groups up to 11 yrs old. We were there for 3 hours! I will definitely return on my next visit to Boise.

Tammi Jackson

My grandchildren had a good time. I hope to see it expand as time goes on. I noticed that most of the volunteers were walking around just observing what kids were doing. Their time would have been better spent by wiping down surfaces with sanitizer as they were walking from exhibit to exhibit.

Nicole Egbert

Happy to change my review from a one star to a 5 star with the announcement of the museum closing to the public to allow a day for foster children to have a free day at the museum! Thank you for recognizing the children in most need of a fun day!

Deborah Gill

Always a fun and exciting place to visit. The educational interactive exhibits were a hit with young and old alike. We appreciated the Military discount too.

Steven Bryan

Very cool for kids and parents!

Darcie Wickard

So many great engaging activities to do with my son here!! We love it

Buffy Jones

Fun place for kids.

Melissa Horeczy

Can't wait for all the expansions and new ideas. My kid loves it there. So much fun. Except the bank. That's pretty boring.

Angela Cleverdon

Attended a fundraiser tonight. Great time supporting a great place. I would recommend bringing your children here for a fun adventure.

Susan Mahoney

The Museum is AMAZING!! Hands “ON” for little people to experience!! Bring your whole family for a great outing, December 2nd!, Plan to have birthday celebrations in this extraordinary environment that has been tailored for children ages 2-9.

Stephan Thomas

Kids love it

Josh Whitney

Was a wonderful experience for our whole family! We'll be visiting again soon!

ROBERT DORNATH

It was awesome

Melissa Campbell

Kids love it and there is a lot of fun activities to do. Best for younger kids. $8 is a little steep, especially for parents.

Jason & Jen Stone

The Children's Museum of Idaho will be open on December 2, 2018! Yes, there is a bit of dust now but please come back and visit in December. You will not be disappointed! The care and attention to every detail is just amazing!

Jeremy Redmond

Kids loved everything here, stayed most of the day! Lots of hands on stuff, and overall great experience!

Jack Hawkins

Good for all ages.

Mercedes Gorham

My 3 and 5 year old loved it! Such a great fun play for imaginative play and playing pretend! The items were actually a lot more organized than I expected. It was insanely busy but the kids still were able to take turns pretending to be at the bank shopping at trader joes making pizzas or milking the cows!

Charity Nicholson

Kids had a blast!

Brad Steadman

My kids love it!

joshua martin

Small but probably appropriately size for the area. Place is orderly and clean.

Cindy Pusey

A wonderful Children's Museum! A lot of hands on experiences for children.

Susan

My kids loved the grocery store and that’s all that seemed to make this place stand out. For us. I would of had a better time if the 2 lady’s walking around weren’t repeating at 4:40 that they’re closing and that we have to pick up and leave. If you don’t want to pick up after the children (which is what was intended for) why make a business for children that’s going to be messy. I’m sorry you have to stay 30 minutes after when there’s 3-4 able to do it. I have never been to a business that’s telling me to leave every 30 seconds. Beyond rude. Definitely $24 not worth spending for the 35 minutes we were there.

Coral Jillson

Great place for children to play and learn!

Nikki Simpson

This is such a great place for kids!! My kids, 2 and 6, never want to leave! There is seating so I can nurse my 3 month old while entertaining and keeping an eye on my other two. There are so many hands on learning things that parents get to he involved with and help kids learn about all sorts of things. The staff is amazing and accommodating and the owner is one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. We are so lucky to have this in Idaho. They just opened their doors and it is amazing what they have already have accomplished!! My kids and I will be regulars.

Grayson Gersten

This place is so great for young children! My kid will spend hours here if we could. Each room is unique and encourages exploration and curiosity. They can explore in a safe, air-conditioned, fully enclosed place. They have a store, pizza parlor, train room, reading room, dentist, construction area, veterinarian clinic, farm area, cave, pirate ship and outdoor space. It's crazy!

Joy Wilson

The Children's Museum is a blast. My two and a half year old loves it and the different areas kept her (and my husband) entertained for hours. They have crafts and read alouds and other various activities as well in the Community Room on weekdays. They also offer a military rate, which we appreciate!

Tami Porter

It's great for a rainy day, and for imaginitive play. You have to pay for adults as well as children because they are promoting adults to play along side the children. No food or drink allowed. There are stations with props to play in different settings: shopping at trader Joe's, make pizza and salad at Idaho pizza, pilot an airplane, play in a spaceship, play with trains on a large raised train track, play house, pretend you are gardening and milking cows on the farm, be a veterinarian, projected games onto the floor to stomp on, outside the kids can pretend they are fishing or in the wild west. My kids could have stayed the entire day, but I was exhausted after a few hours

Jeremy Paxman

Great place for kids so glad boise finally has one of these

Steven McConaughy

Great place for children to see and play.

Nichole Burnette

A variety of fun interactive activities for children and their parents

Kasandra Henry

Great, hands on play ! Love this place and so do my twins they are 5

Darbie Chocker

Absolutely wonderful place!! We took our kids for my son's 3rd birthday and they had the best time. So much to do and very educational. They didn't want to leave!

ReBekha Smith

So glad to have a place like this for my toddler to explore and play.

Payton Hampton

The Children’s Museum is a great organization dedicated to helping kids interact and learn. Kids in the 4-8 yo range especially will have a great time playing with the interactive exhibits.

Sharon Halsey

My grand children loved it! My 3 and 5 year old didn't want to leave. The staff was kind and gentle, while encouraging cleanup and also showing them ways to use the exhibits. Excellent!

Janine Rush-Byers

Come visit the Children's Museum of Idaho in December! The museum opens to the public on December 2nd and will delight the little ones with the amazing hands on and interactive exhibits. Visitors will have great fun in the cave, airport, bank, vet, rocket ship, train and so much more.

Ian Sanders

Great place to hang with the kids and show them how stuff works. Lots of learning opportunities in a play setting.

Rebecca Freeman

This place is amazing, with a huge variety of play-items to cater to all sorts of interests kids might have. They do story time and crafts as well. My only complaint is that they charge the same admission price for adults as for children (not sure why, adults don't use any of the toys), and it ends up being very expensive even for only one child.

peggy bettencourt

Great for ages 2/9 , have more interactive items for under 5. Our 8 yr. Old grandson enjoyed about 60 % of it!

Amber Terkelsen

Love love love! As an out-of-stater i will come back and go again.

Lauren's Natural Living

We took our 4+6 year olds and they were so sad when it was time to leave. Staff was friendly and the place was kept very clean even with a bunch of kids running around. We purchased memberships and will be back regularly!

Brad Nolen

If you have young kids get them out there to have some fun

Leemary Caraballo-Garriga

Fun for the kids

Julie Rainey

Great place to spend time with your lottle ones.

Cecelia Blewett

Great place for kids

Veronica Zies

I don't know I didn't go

Deonna Mills-Humphress

This is such a wonderful place to explore!

Bryce and Rachel Perry

We love our annual membership to the museum. The workers are polite and friendly. The toys are in good condition. The restrooms are clean. The membership is a good value.

David Eisenberg

Hands on experiences for the kids.

A. Straker

Fun space for a toddler, but admission price is ridiculous.

Kevin Mangini

Great place, Tons of fun things for the kids to do.

Exactly what this area needed. Got my kids (aged 2 and 4) a membership for Christmas, and it has already given us its value, with many more fun visits ahead!

Kids loved it. Lots of small play places and activities for them to do.
