Reviews of The Children's Museum of Northern Nevada (Museum)

Cindy Vick

Huge disappointment :( like a dingy run down day care center. That they charge adults to get in is awful. Total waste of $

Troy McComak

Fun for the kids. We had a 2 and 3 year old and they were really upset when they had to leave.

Amanda Antonson

Great place , took my granddaughter, she had a blast. So many hands on exipits , and kids being kids with imagination flowing. Love this place

Lots of fun for a snowy, inside day. Plenty of activities for any age. Bathrooms and a water fountain are available, and they also sell snacks.

Kathleen Franco Simmons

The Children's Museum is a great place to bring children, ages 1 to 12 for creative play and interactive learning about Nevada history and wildlife. Other activities included a climbing and slide structure, an airplane-shaped teeter-totter, a child-sized play market and restaurant, doctor's office, governor's office, a jail, a gold-panning sluice, and many other interesting interactive displays.

Chandler Davis

Lot's of fun and educational stations here. Kids will love it.

Sandra West

Fun for all ages kind staff interactive

Amanda Meglio

This "museum" is in an old church building. They have 1 large room with everything in it. It's a nice place to bring your 3 or 4 year old when you want to just sit and relax while they entertain themselves. Not worth the price, though.

Great family fun

Bob Scharffenberg

Half of their stuff didn’t work. It would be a nice museum if they had everything working

My granddaughter and II went to the children's museum expecting a museum. We were charged $10. $6 for me, $4 for my granddaughter. That was fine, until I actually got inside and realize that this isn't a museum. This is a playroom. Charging an adult $6 to watch the Children Play was is rather annoying. My granddaughter explored around for 20 minutes or so and then we played with some of the building block sets for another 20 minutes before she was ready to go. It's a nice enough place but not a museum.

Tia Perryman

The Museum was great for my 3 yr old grandson. He enjoyed the exhibits and the art room.

Connie Wiseman

Fun place for kids!! So much for them to do.

Tanya Pittson

Unfortunately this place is a huge disappointment! It is a great idea... Abe Is a hollow reminder if perhaps was once an exciting place to.come play and learn. The place is very dirty. Toys are broken, many things don't work. I think this place just needs a big overhaul and could be restored to maybe what it once was. I won't be going back until the overhaul takes place...

Randy Herrera

This is the worst place I have ever been, I will never bring my kid here again. My daughter is almost all the way potty trained, and she had an accident. No big deal, it happens. We cleaned up the potty on the floor and my girlfriend took her in the bathroom to change her. As my girlfriend and daughter are walking into the bathroom the employee walks up and starts chastising my 4 year old. Telling her that she made a mess and now other people have to pick it up. My daughter is already upset that she had an accent and this old lady is standing there yelling at my daughter. Completely unacceptable! She was incredibly rude from the moment we walked in. As we were leaving, after my daughter was all changed, she gave us an incredibly rude look and started telling everyone in the lobby 'a girl peed herself and made a mess I had to go clean it!' I will never come here again!

Kids would love this place

Marlene Maffei

keith soules jr

Love this place

Glenda Gee

Name Jason

It's fun for the kids to play dress up,and pretend they are shopping,cooking,and doctors.

Mark Jones

Great place for the young ones to explore their world. Something for every child!

peaceful. mama.of.three

Cheap fun place to do kids parties. Amazing staff

Rosa Marin

Fun fun!

Liyanis Hernandez

Love this place.

AwesomeCat Woman25

Only bad part is trying to get my kids out of there!

Rich Harris

Fun for kids, not so much for adults

Marci Pacl

We love this place! The kids all have a blast and the staff is so kind. There's is a small snack selection and a picnic bench out front, making it really convenient. Definitely worth getting a pass. It pays for itself almost immediately.

Lior Singer

Great place to stop by, but it is a one thing experience.

Luana Olsen

Check out the museum for yourself. There have been MANY changes and additions in the past four years.

Rachel Lowe

Definitely best for younger kids--it's like a one-room playland, but a very good one for the right ages. My 7-year-old had a lot of fun when we visited with one of his playmates, but might not have enjoyed it solo. My 11-year-old was completely bored. I'd say 7 is probably about the top end of the ideal age range.

SaxtonP

It's awesome. Kids always have a good time, lots of different activities

Mindi Blokzyl

Awesome place to let the kids play while it was so hot.

Ashlyn D

My two children loved the Childrens museum! I've been going here since I was little so it's always so fun and nostalgic! We love the music section and the grocery store!

Carolanne Shaw

This muesum is wonderful. The staff is nice and positive. It's quaint and you can sit down and watch your little ones play and see them from one side of the room to the other... The museum has stick rules about cleaning up after yourself...(which you should do anyway! Proper manners!) The price is amazing I got a 6 month membership for $40! My kids love this place!

Erin Phillips

My granddaihhter loves it here.

Carrie J-A

Our was a great place for my toddler to get his energy out and admission was cheap. I gave a 4 instead of 5 just because some of the toys were old, but it is a non-profit and toddlers don't care about the age of the toys. But my son thoroughly enjoyed himself.

Andrew Buffalino

It is technically a museum. But it could definitely use a lot of additional funding and maintenance.

David Frost

This place is like an indoor playground, and has exhibits from much of Nevada. Get the year pass; pays for itself quickly.

melissa naccarato

It's great for about a half hour and then you realize there's nothing else to do. The kids have done it all and played hard for 30 minutes before you're ready to go.

Burnie Shadoan

Good place to go lots of entertainment for kids and the price is perfect$10 entry for kids adults free

Reed Cozens

My family have always enjoyed going here. There is lots of stuff for kids to do, however, not everything is in working order. As a parent I like it here because I can see where my kids are playing from a distance. Would recommend!

Stephenie Nash

My kids loooved this place. So many different things to imagine and play with. We were there for three hours and I had to bribe my kids to leave. We will be back.

Timothy Keller

Need to keep some young ones busy? Good place to go.

Amanda Moore

Great place to bring children of all ages. My 1 year old enjoyed it and so did my 4 year old. There was much to learn in the STEM area. Dissecting a human torso, kinects, weights to learn balancing, a microscope, and fish in a bathtub! The staff here are all kind and want to help children develop and do their best. 6 month membership is $40, 1 year is $70. Under 2 is free, kids are $4, and adults are $6. We purchased a membership and plan on going frequently. It's a warm play to play when it's snowing.

nathan Richardson

The musium is the perfect place to take kids on bad weather days to expend some energy. They have lots of fun activities, and lots of fun facts for the kids to learn about the great state of Nevada

chris mattoon

It's a museum

Walid Ali

My kids had fun! But It does not contain a variety of things.

Jack Allard

very nice museum

Jon Denning

Very fun and educational place to bring your children, my son absolutely loved it!

Keisha JW

My grand kids and I love this place.

Michele Mecir

Fun place, lots of cool stuff, and inexpensive.

David Haley

Great place for kids, with the added bonus of some good physics

Joseph Stinson

Kid's love it!

Jacqueline Gonzalez

This place is too small and a complete waste of time. It is not a children's museum its a tiny indoor playground.

Peggy Dawers

Great place to take 1 or 8 of the kids. We take our 1-1/2 year old granddaughter often & it's not only fun for her physically but terrific for social interaction. Activities for kids of all ages with science for older children. Highly recommend.

Justin McIntosh

Wonderful place for kids under 10. Beats the discovery museum in Reno for kids under 5. I'm a bit worried about the price hike, almost 2.5 times the cost for membership starting February 1st.

Roxanne D. Polk

Excellent place ro bri g the kids! Incredibly helpful and friendly staff!!

Georgy Pike

A great place for kids to play!!

S A

Kids love this place.

Alex Chavez

We had our kids birthday party at the Museum. The staff were so helpful and everyone had a great time! If you are looking for a great spot to have a party, this is it. Just remember it's best for the little guys! ~Alex

James Hanson

Fun place for little kids

Gillian Waldenfels

Excellent place to take kids

Ruben Paolinelli

Fun, cool place to take the children to learn and grow.

Adan Aguilera

Not very good. We went for a birthday and the attractions really are outdated and boring.

Ryan Johnson

Great place for kids only 3 dollars.

David

Children museum? Boring, NOT! If you have kids and haven't opened these doors..... You're me, when I didnt have a membership here.

Anita Raus

Lots of fun! Educational

David Sachs

A little long in the tooth. Needs some TLC. Grandson loved it.

Debra N

What a great place for a little kid to spend a Sunday!

Jeff Paul

A wonderful experience for the children trick or treating

Glen King

I love carson city!

Joel Saenz

My 5 year old had so much fun here

Cindy Burnett

A great place for youngsters to run off energy and learn what they can about each room. The only thing negative I have to say is every toy and station needs to be cleaned weekly and sprayed with disinfectant daily. The last time I went with my 4 grandchildren we all got sick with nasty intestinal troubles. I ( grandma ) ended up in the ER extremely sick and so did youngest child. Hopefully children won't be able to fool their parents into thinking they are not sick when in fact they are so they don't go and spread their germs. Like I said this is a great place to get a fun learning experience.

Jackie Bake

Great space for your kids to play and lots of things to learn.

Erika Pallas

My son loves this place so much. I don't understand why parents get charged to enter it's a bit odd sense we don't do anything but watch our children and keep them safe. It's an amazing place and a very great idea. Also with winter here this place gives the kids somewhere to burn off energy and keep warm. Just wish I didn't have to pay for myself, I can do my part anywhere for free, be a parent. Or maybe hire me to clean the place that's a good deal haha just saying.

Vera Kazlouskaya

Cool place, price can be bity. Better pay for half a year or whole year.

Echoe Camacho

The staff here are super friendly and accommodating. There's an upper level for youngster and the lower level is for a bit older kids. They even have an art room where you can pay or make cards.

j jeffries

Not 5 stars as a museum but definitely 5 stars as a place for 6 years and under to have fun.

Jenny Claypool

Love taking the grandkids here to play and learn.

sankha chatterjee

Great place for the kids. Yearly and Semi-yearly family pass options are great bargain. If you are live in and around Carson City, there is no better place to take your kids to.

Daphany Lane

My child enjoyed the activities and the environment was really pleasant.

jeanise bird

Great place for families and birthday parties

jon won-ton

Great place to take your kids.

Robert Plebaniak

Great place for the kids!

Isabella Todd

Love this place. I like that it’s very much targeted for kids a little bit younger (toddler and preschool) not to say older kids won’t have fun but as a mom of toddlers, we don’t find of indoor places for younger kiddos. Place is clean and well kept as well.

Laura Thompson

Love taking my little one here. It is all in one open room so I can sit and watch him play.

Always&Forever Turner

Their prices have gone up so that's a down but it's a wonderful place for children literally of all ages

Stacey ann Myles

It was our first time and we were watching issac. Man we had a ball. This was a cool place

Marla Bennett

YNice clean recreation for kids. You are required to pay 10 dollars a day to let your child play unsupervised?? One lady in front on phone most of time. Cute and good for Rainy days or super hot days(ac) I will take my granddaughter back to try story time on Tuesday morning.

Vickie Fisk

Loved it. We had a large group ages 78 down to 8, and everyone had fun.

Kelly Thomas

Great place for kids of all ages! I take my 18 month old & my 7 yr old niece. They love it. Different rooms set up like different places (grocery store, school, doctors office, music room, etc) They have a huge climbing area with a slide, a rock climbing wall, tons of learning activities.

Mike Reynolds

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the museum was pretty clean. My child had a great time, and we'll be back.

Natalie Rehm

Something different to do once in a while when it's too hot or cold to go to a park.

Raquel Gonzalez-Rivera

It's a great place to have kid birthday party or to take your kids. Located in a historical building, it's the kids version of an adult museum.

Shanna Mae

Such a fun place to bring the kids! It is a giant play town on the first level, with everything from a doctors office to a grocery store, to a governor's office. There are also construction toys, a rock wall, a playplace and slide. Downstairs is the STEM area with lots of challenging puzzles and hands on math and science. If we lived a little closer we would definitely get the year long family pass.

Martin Kois

This is the best place to take little kids in the whole valley, bar none! Tons of interactive play and a whole STEM/art center downstairs. The staff is friendly and encouraging to kids, and they listen to patrons on fun new configurations so that the place is always changing, even just little bits at a time.

Joy McPherson

Fun for kids for a long time, but not very in depth educational

jeremy guthrie

Alot of fun for the whole family love the science room

Family Chavez

My son and his class had fun the front desk person was not very nice but we always have a great day when we come out and play at the Children's Museum!

Chris Kiagiri

Best attraction in town for kids 7 and under

Jared Holmes

Pretty cool spot to take your kids and avoid the summer nevada heat

David Coots

Had my daughters 2nd birthday party here was wonderful

Terri Wornek

Lots of interactive displays. Very busy, very loud. Great place to take the kids!

Randall Temple

Good good

Dad n Thor Malone

It was fun, and slightly educational. More of a play place than a museum really. A bit run down also, not much actually works there.

Nancy Kuniya

A great place for children

Adam Woodrum

Small but really loaded with activities. We ran out of energy well before the kids got bored. Everyone was really friendly. Great local place and the building is interesting.

Kyle Eden

the grandchild unit had lots of fun here

Jon Michealjonhiltontrumpgottii

Best place too invest sometime a donate to the children's museum funds, many great things are there and I all ways have the best of days , finding all the great things about Carson City, to injoy when I'm there , much more more to looking fun and walks , allways make my days of buiessness , pleasantly God blessed, all day long

David Heizer

This is a amazing placing for children under 10 years old. The museum is got so much hands on AND it is parent friendly. Very little bending over, lots of things that parent and child do together. The price is near perfect and the activities and numerous. Plan to spend a couple of hours for sure. Also don't miss out on a chance to be an engineer driving a train.

Scott Barker

This is a very old place to visit but my grandkids really enjoy it they have a super time on the things inside the museum I believe the grandkids cost $4 and they charged me $6 which was kind of funny because I didn't do anything but sit around and watch them

Arlyn Constantino-Caguiat

Okay place for the little ones. Little old but nice and quiet. Need to be dusted, maybe vent air out as well but otherwise an okay experience.

Jean-Paul Lefebvre

very nice well kept place for the kiddos, and they love it

Scott Trotter

Hells Kitchen Barbers

Bridget Cullen

My daughter had her birthday here. The main floor of the childrens museum is one big play area. There is also a downstairs area with STEAM rooms and a birthday party room. With the party package, you can rent the room for two hours and the kids are paid for until the museum closes. Everyone had fun - the only thing my daughter didn't like ws that the birthday room didn't have a hook to hang a pinata.

Eve

Such a magical and cool place for kids. This place is truly a gem. My little one loved it!

Judy Stuard

Our little ones loved the Children's Museum; so much so that we held our toddler's birthday party here. The party guests and parents all liked it also. There are lessons learned here for toddlers and older children alike. It makes learning fun for them!

Tabatha Combs

Great for a small creative museum!

Jaspreet Buttar

Kids like it here.

Kristina McComak

It was kinda a let down. The kids had fun but everything is a mess and most of rooms are missing the props. Buttons that were supposed to make noise didnt. It was chaos. People just let their kids go nuts. My kid got bit by another kid.

Brad Christensen

Need to figure x all exhibits daily and constantly. Have organised exhibit. Concentrate on hospital nursing. Otherwise great interactive place.

Anni K

Caught a wretched cold, in the middle of summer.

Catie Webster

It's fun for the kids, but can be very busy.
