REVIEWS OF Please Touch Museum IN Pennsylvania

Justin Adams

Kids love this place. Has so much to do, see, and play with. Staff was super friendly and engaged and knowledgeable. There is an exhibit that changes, keeps it different each time we go. Seen signs for what was coming next and already booking our trip. Fees were very fair. By online if visiting during week to save more.

Aye Armenta

Perfect place to go with your kids, it can take the whole day to go and it worth it.

Celina Nicole

I'm really disappointed to see that not much has changed since we last visited--OVER FOUR YEARS AGO. They need to update a lot of things. My seven years old son enjoyed it a lot but of course my ten years old son was over it, lol. There is really nothing for kids 10 and over to do, which is very sad. So my oldest son pretty much assisted me with with his younger brother. We were all over this place after about 90 minutes. If you have a toddler, this place is amazing and offers so much for them to do... BUT if you have kids 9 years and older, skip this place for sure.

Mary French

Drove nearly 2 hours for the Superhero event that was cancelled without notice. Unfortunately, we had purchased 2 adult , 1 child and a parking pass, totaling about $75, last night. We had a very disappointed 7 year old and had to spend time in a museum geared to toddlers up to 5 (?) years. A waste of a day and alot of money. If you have a child in the age group that would enjoy this, the museum is well done and in a beautiful building. When we left, after 12 or 1 p.m., they were still advertising the Superhero event.

Sharese Collins

This museum is amazing. I took my kids here (7 and 1&1/2) and they both had a great time. They thought of everything. It's a very innovative place. I wish there was one in California.

Joan Borrelli

This is a fun place to spend time with children aged 2 to about 8. Everything is hands on, and children get a chance to be a bus driver, doctor, astronaut, shopper, sail boats and have tea with the Mad Hatter, plus much more. My four year old grandson loved every minute that we were there. I only gave four stars because the ticket price of $19.00 is the same for all ages and it's an extra $3.00 to ride the carousel. Also, a few things in some of the attractions didn't work and the seats in the car that children can drive are ripped and taped. This should be fixed. However, the young people who work there are wonderful. They interact with the children and really enjoy them. All the staff are very nice.

Nick Chappell

The kids had a blast! Definitely for the younger kiddos, those over ~6 would quickly get border unless they are helping out with younger siblings. There were a variety of things to do and kept everyone entertained for about 3 hours. Prices are a bit high for what it is, at $20 per person for both kids and adults this can be an expensive day for not much value. Free and available street parking helps offset the high cost.

Yolaynie Cruz

I love this place with your access card you get you and 3 other people in for $2 a piece I mean come on the kids love this place and it’s not breaking my pockets.

Arpit Goyal

At $19 each plus the $12 parking expected lot more than what it had. carousel requires another $5 for unlimited rides. If you have kids above 5, go only one time, else you can bring them multiple times. More for kids age 1-4. Post that it is just one time activity.

Alicia Blackburn

Great time, especially if there are no school trips. Staff is friendly and always tidying up. Changing themes makes it a great time and love going back to see what is going on.

Kae Queen

We just visited the Please Touch Museum for the first time and really enjoyed it. Our children are 6 years old, 5 years old, and we have twins that are 21 months old. There was something for everyone there, but I think our overall favorite exhibit was the rockets. Everything felt pretty clean, except for the foam blocks. The food was good, but pricey. We would definitely return.

Charles Kizis

OMG this was such a delight! I was just so amazed how great this was! There were so many things for the children to do and so much for the adults to look at it really was great for the entire family. They had this really cute little shopping Supermarket set up where they have little carts and they would run around put the stuff in their carts or baskets and go shopping for groceries like Mom and Dad! We even had a child designated as the checker outer LOL however he charged us $500 for some bread and vegetables! Talk about capitalism everywhere huh! The only thing was there was barely any shopping carts it seemed, like I counted the ones I saw and it was like four or five. But there's 20 kids running around at any given moment. Overall it was a great experience and we had a blast. I would recommend this to anybody. It was a great great experience!

Neil Angotta

Great place for kids between 1-4. Can be busy during the weekends but there’s so much to do inside that the flow of people moves well. Great for a rainy day.

Beau Arrich

Seriously the best spot for kids. If you have an Access Card there are steep discounts. Such a fun place to enjoy and learn. The kids had a great time, as did we. The staff is super friendly and new attractions are always popping up. You'll worth the trip.

Zac Ertel

The kids enjoyed the water boat area and the food area. There is a snack bar that had hot dogs chicken nuggets and premade sandwiches and salads for the healthy options. The tickets are a little pricey but I recommend looking online to see of there are any deals or groupons.

Anthony Weiss

Great indoor playground / museum / learning center for kids to explore. Have gone with kids from ages 6 months to quip years, and they all find something fun. Membership is a great value

Jeong Kim

Imagine an art museum turned into a kids cafe. Anyways, I think they could've utilized the design and the setup a little more creatively and cleaner. Was okay.

Larbi Abiadhi

Hi I was with my family today In the museum , I was really disappointed by the non welcoming and the hate face from the cashier that was their . She was irrigant, non smiling face , and she show the hate in her face . It is really discriminatory place . I did not see her name because her badge was in the backside( she looks Spanish lady with age of 30 probably). With all of that I was polite with her and said thank you when she gave me the tickets but she did not even answered back and she look to us very weird . Disgusting place.....

Delores Willis

I hadn’t been here in many years since it was part of the Art Museum. I was very impressed with all the activities there were for the children. My granddaughter is 2 and everything fascinated her. The supermarket still remains one of the favorite things for the children. I loved the Alice in Wonderland set. There’s a story time and a creative studio. Will definitely take my twin granddaughters when they turn 2.

Sharon Eskridge

My husband and I took our grandbaby on a Sunday and we had a great time. It's larger than it looks. She loved everything about it and asked to go back to visit. Very nice museum for family.

Elisabeth Budd

Great museum for little kids! My daughter (5) and i loved exploring this museum. There was so much to see and do, I wish we had anither hour or so. Astronomy show was amazingly done, food was reasonably priced for a museum and they even have a carousel! Bathrooms were pretty clean, given the number of families there. Admission was a little higher than what i would've liked, but definitely worth it.

Brad Allen

Not a lot of places you can take a 16 month old toddler besides the park. This place fit the bill. Our daughter had an amazing time running around the place engaging with cars, trucks, all kinds of things that were her size. It is a beautiful re-imagining of a cool historical building. So fun!

Francisca Hom

expensive ($19 per adult or kid), but reasonable for for you get. two level with many areas of fun. top level houses massive water table on one side and fast-food/cafe, and transportation with real objects or very real replicas (including sit-in stationary monorail) on the other. in the addition on the side, one finds a Muslim theme exhibit, along with a camping scene, robot showcase, and a rocket launch. the top level alone was enough to kill half a day. lower level has a life-size community combo: shoe shop, bakery, supermarket, mail service, small hospital (equipped with stationary ambulance, gurney, and MRI machine!), etc. middle of the section is art studio on one side, theater and railroad exhibit + huge landscape model on the opposite. towards the end is an elaborate Alice In Wonderland maze, combined with gift shop and ramp going back up to ground floor. truly an amazingly designed place for kids age 2 to... at least 9. had to leave in a rush so didn't get to check out the carousel ($3 per ride, included in membership). ample street parking outside. umbrella stroller available for loan.

Rocky Citro

We live in Jersey so we often go to the Discovery museum. This is a bigger version of that and definitely some fun stuff there. Our girls liked the Alice in Wonderland exhibit. If you plan to go a few times then the membership is worth it. I thought that going once it was quite pricey. But overall fun day and the food was decent too.

vivek bajaj

Gr8 place for kids .. lots of activities.. gun rides.. train bus car.. carousel.. gud 1 day kids trip

Konstantinos Rizakos

Really small, really basic, and for really small children! Very expensive, too ($76 for a family of four) The exhibits are well crafted but they only cater to toddlers. Think of a wooden imitation-train engine, and a plastic lettuce that your toddler can throw in a tiny cart in a mini-supermarket. The building is quite spectacular, as is a model of the 1876 fair for which it was constructed (in the basement). But that’s about it.

Natasha Danielle

Whats not to love about this place!? Children can have fun in a safe place! They can touch everything and run around. When you get home they are tired lol

Lazi Flores

Great place to bring children from all ages. We spent 3 hrs here and still didn't get to see everything so definitely can spend an entire day here.

Paula Brasch

Fun place for the kids. Downstairs could use a little love. The "hospital" area is empty no babies or doctor tools for the kids and no shopping carts in the grocery store area.

Meli Stafford

Nice for very young children (under 10 yrs old).You can visit the entire museum in 1 hour. I heard tickets are cheaper online. There is a free waiting areagift shop and cafe near entrance if you want to wait while parent or guardian enters the museum.

Sara Raudenbush

I love visiting the Please Touch Museum with my 3 children. We have never eaten there until today, and unfortunately the food was so terrible that my children took one bite each of their chicken and pizza and then threw it away. $22 down the drain

Mr TraxxOnDeck

Unprofessional staff to say the least! I visited this location not by choice. I didn’t view the museum. I was only there for my job! The museum was closed, they were having an employee party during the time the museum was reserved for another occasion which was why I was there. The experience with the staff was horrible from 2 ladies. As a visitor, I would never come back to avoid these two. It’s hard to imagine how they interact with children considering how I was treated for trying to exit the exit door. No reply needed thank you.

D Jackson

The museum grounds are immaculate. The lot the museum is located on is very spacious. The museum is 2 floors of activities for children of all ages. When you walk into the museum you see a gigantic replica of the torch of The Statue of Liberty made out of different objects. There are activities on each floor that are geared toward certain topics ie. one of the mazes is Alice in Wonderland. There is a small food court where you can purchase food and different kinds of organic drinks. It was very clean and sanitary. There is a parking lot that is for paying visitors but there is parking located on the street. There is a discount for purchasing tickets online as opposed to buying them at the door. Such a great place to spend the day. Definitely recommend.

Kimberly Stephens

This place is the best! I took my 15 month old nephew and spent over 3 hours there. He was having a blast and we could have easily stayed longer if he didn't need a nap!

Hasan Ajmal

The kids always have a great time over here. Awesome place to visit.

Jacob Moux

Very nice place. Fun for children and adults. Encourages you to be hands on and interactive with everything.

Chris Cordes

Great Kids Museum in Philly! A lot of different items and exhibits. Very well done. Definitely appreciated the selection and diversity of exhibits. Overall I hope it continues to be there and remains successful.

Bharath C V

Good place for kids to spend time in winter. Around 4 hrs of fun for toddlers

Reed O'Neal

If you have kids 2-7 this museum is awesome. So much for them to do, can easily spend 3-4 hours here. Did not try the food during our visit but the exhibits were great for kids. So much to do and very interactive. Highly recommended for families with younger kids.

Tatiana Mazurkina

It was interesting for a three old one. I think museum is up to 6 years. The older ones will be bored. And the tickets are too pricey.

Jonathan Cooper

1 part chaos + 1 part adventure + 1 part FUN! Your kids will love it. Plenty of room, plenty to see, plenty of space if they (or you) need a break. This is the most hands-on day at the museum your kids will get. (thus the name!) Take the time and go through 2X. Have them pick out their favorites or ask them where "Alice" or the "Statue of Liberty" was and make them navigate ... it's so much fun!

Renaye Devlin

The Please Touch Museum is a great place to bring kids to learn and play with things in everyday life. I love bringing my nieces and nephew here, there is the carousel, the grocery store, a small house, the ways water moves with air and so much more. Access cards and group discounts are available here for a discount. So anyone can afford to come here with their kids!

Quetta Nyree

Great family place and school trip to go to. Fun atmosphere. Didn't order any food brought own.

Camila Anderson

We love visiting Please Touch Museum! I want to give a shout out to Brady! You are the Please Touch Museum's best asset. Out of all the attractions and staff you are my kids favorite! Thank you for being awesome!

Tishe Williams

Over priced not what I expected at all. Up grade is due. Alot of Exhibits did not work or broken. Got all that money everything should be up and running. They all need up grades. Investors should come see what their money is paying for. Not cool.

Jamin Yoder

A wonderfully interactive museum. My children loved it!

Vince Vitello

It was nice for kids 8 and under. Only worth the price if you had membership. Per visit cost is very expensive. The cafe is over priced and was out of lots of hot items.

Alexandria Carraway

A lot to do in the Please touch museum and the service and bathrooms were clean. I would have been more comfortable if I saw the staff sanitizing as we went

Ahmed Abdelbaki

***FREE PARKING ON THE STREET *** It's called a museum but there is nothing "museum" about it. It's a Home Depot size McDonald's Play Place. The visiting exhibit was the only learning experience. Carousel ride should be included in ticket price for kids for one time and additional rides should charge extra. They charge for parking but parking is free DIRECTLY in front of the "museum". They charge $19 for 1 year olds but a lot of things were not for them. They couldn't reach the water for the rubber ducks or boats. And many other exhibits were not for them. Also adults should not pay full price as kids do. Not for ages above 6 and no less than 24 months. The museum will tell you 1-8. The room downstairs with the trains smelled moldy and my son couldn't go in due to the smell.

Lori Smith

I really enjoyed this museum with my young grandchildren. It is very big and there is so much to do. There is a carousel and the kids tickets are only $3.00 and then adults ride for free. There were a lot of neat hands on exhibits. One of our favorites was the Alice in Wonderland exhibit. They have so much to do we didn't have time to explore everything. I would definitely go back.

Patricia Joseph

I went with my daughter and grandson kids and we all had a blast. The children loved the hands on activities while learning so much and I have to admit I loved the place too. It brought out the kid in me. We bought books and toys for the kids. I can't remember what we ate there but we did have ice cream at the bottom of the steps to the museum which we bought from an ice cream truck parked outside.

Klarisa Rosado

I enjoy going with my family. Maybe should make a space for infants. Will definitely bring alot more people

Antoinette Gilbert

Had a great time with my grandson. It was his first visit. He loved the carousel.

Chris C

Great place. Our kids had tons of fun. Highly recommended.

Patrice A Thomas

Great place to bring young toddlers. They can touch everything, exciting new exhibits are always added. Great gift shop and cafe.

Nicholas Webb

I took my family their. My 6, 3, and 1 year olds all had a blast. Many people recommend it for young children and they were right. It was spread out enough to not feel to busy and a great assortment of different things for the children to do. It was very clean and well taken care of. If you don't want to pay to park o recommend getting their early and park on the street. If we are back in town we will make sure to go again. I will make sure to recommend it to everyone I know.

Howie Mcnicol

We went here with our two young grandchildren and they had the best time! We definitely tried to touch everything! I think it is a great idea to have such a nice place for kids to explore! There are areas for climbing, water tables, a mini grocery store, a transportation area, and a there was also a musical sing/dance along time! The carousel was fun too! Obviously, there were MANY kids! But we had a great visit! Will go back!

Rachel Bales

What a great day at the museum! There is so much to see and do. We spent about three hours there and could have probably squeezed another hour in if we weren't so tired. My kids are 4 and 8 and there was plenty to keep them both entertained. If I lived in Philadelphia I would definitely get a membership.

Dana Cook

It had been 10 years since I last visited the museum and upon our visit this week, I saw how much was still the same & really needed a face lift - Both inside and out! That is my strongest critique. My 2 year old son really did enjoy himself, though, & all staff we encountered were very pleasant.

Kim Schult

Omg Probably the best thing to do with kids in Philadelphia. Had an amazing day

enzo baldwin

Going here once is enough for me. There was essentially no parking and I had to drive around in circles with my family for an eternity. After waiting in a line for 1/2 hr I was in! There are a couple levels to walk through. It was ok I was hoping for something a little more in depth. Brace yourselves to navigate through crowds of children like never before.

Gary M

Just waited over 40min to get in with a 2yr old, kids crying in front of and behind me. Get this, I paid extra to be a member last time we were here and was in the supposedly faster, member's admission line. They still had to check my ID and manually locate me in their computer system. This is a CHILDREN'S museum! How can the admissions line be this ineffecient!? Get it together!

hogwartsteacherspet

I took my 4 and 3 year olds to the museum for the first time today amd they had a blast. As a matter of fact, the 4 year old declared it "the best day ever!" There is a lot of stuff to do and friendly and helpful staff all around. There were (very limited) vegan options, but we all had lunch successfully at the cafe. The story time was cute and interactive. There were plenty of bathrooms around for the little bladders that don't wait too well! It was pricey, $50 for the 3 of us, plus $5 for each kid to ride the carousel, but we spent hours there doing fun and interesting activities, so I think it was worth the price of admission.

Kathy Mues

It is the best . My granddaughter loves The Alice in wonderland room !

EK Lucas

Any child with a sense of curiosity and adventure will be quite happy here and it's small enough for parents to keep a reign on the little runners.

Mindy P

I have a membership as my 2 year old loves it and asks to go to “please touch” everyday! It’s expensive if you don’t have a membership but we are fortunate to live close by making it worth it. The cafe offers a good range of food. Employees are always very nice.

David Pratzon

We are members and visit when our grand kids are in town. (Note: members ride the carousel free.) They find new things to explore each time we go, but also have favorites to revisit. We were lucky this time...summer camp is over and school hasn't started yet. The place was not nearly as crowded as usual.

Natalie K

This is a fabulously entertaining and educational place for toddlers and young kids! The exhibits were well thought out, organized, clean, and perfect sizes for littles to engage. We loved drag queen story time! Our book reader did an amazing job speaking to both kids and their parents. A great place to spend a morning or afternoon!

Just No

This place is everything! I love the open area and the kids love exploring and touching literally everything. As much as I love it I don't tend to go enough which I should. This place is so unique so when we go I call it the Special Museum so my kids know they are free to explore I don't want them to get in the habit of touching everything at other places. When we leave the kids immediately pass out in the car.

Har Kaur

Good place for kids for pretend play, but one time visit for adults.

Ken Smethers

Perfect place to bring your children to make them aware of some knowledgeable things. The place was attractive and the infrastructure was amazing. There also food court here which serve delicious food. Overall recommended place for children .

Barbara Hesse

Wonderful concept. Everything (except a FEW pieces of original art) is MEANT TO BE TOUCHED. Great for children. I liked the fact that they had play areas specifically for those who are under 5 years old.

Tanya Straus

What a fun place for kids! My 2.5 year old loved it so much that we decided to buy a membership right away. The carousel is fun but pretty fast (can make you dizzy!) So be careful. The staff is friendly and helpful. Also, this is a huge one for me: they have hand sanitizer on almost every wall!! With thousands of little hands touching everything I am glad they have this available. This place is great for fostering creativity and exploration.

Mark Azevedo

My Grandkids had a great time...we spent 2 hours there.

Comfort Bowens

This museum is the best. It is a safe place for the children to play and explore and learn. I loved that the children were able to interact with everything exhibit in the museum.

Maria Stathoudakis

My 3 year old nephew spent the whole day here and loved it. I was bored out of my mind! Thought the Septa and Shop Rite rooms were hilarious. The cafe food has great prices; not an arm and a leg.

LJ Sharae

My child loves visiting, always have a hard time trying to get him to leave! Worth the trip everytime.

Jaleel Jordan

My children always have a blast. From the moment you enter and play in the water, to the carousel, to the parade at the end of the day!

Karen Uber

Great place for kiddos. Tons of space, lots of hands on exhibits for imaginative play. My kids loved the rocket exhibit and the water play area the most.

Valerie Landis

I have a membership for my kids, but I don't think I would buy one again. I have a 6 year old and a 6 month old. It's okay for the 6 year old but the 6 month old didn't have much. I think the perfect age for a membership is 2.5 to 5 years after which a one time visit is okay. I've only had the membership since April and have gone about 2-3 times a month. I also don't live that close so it's a bit of a hike.

Colleen Kirby

So much fun! There's no way you can get this entire place done in a day. There's always something new to explore. Perfect for ages 1-7, I think!

Stefan Kassza

Massive military discount! Military (dependents included) get in free, and only get charged for parking. The museum itself has just about anything and is about as hands - off for parents as it could be, excluding, of course, basic supervision. There is also a very good - quality and reasonably priced cafeteria inside. I would not skip this attraction for kids in Philly - they will thank you for it!

Wong Jamie

This museum is way much bigger than I thought it would be! It’s so huge and beautiful from the outside look!! The moment I went inside, I felt like I enter the magical kingdom of kids! There are so many interesting interactive items for kids to touch and play. Kids can be anything they want in there! Also there are so many fun and cute pretend stores there for kids to pretend to be anyone they want to be! Not only the kids would have fun, so does the adults!

Meredith Wilcox-Levine

Went for a wedding, what a fantastic space! I'm looking forward to exploring the museum in its entirety.

Tonie Baker

A fantastic place to visit fun food an adventure I love it makes you want to be a kid again

Evgueni StOnge

Really cool for the kids, I had a great time and my friends 4 year old didnt want to leave. Definitely worth checking out if u have a family.

Phillip Henderson

Good place to take young children. They can interact with all of the exhibits. They display old toys that adults played with as kids. The rocket exhibit was my daughter's favorite. She and her classmates went here for a trip. All the parents teachers and children had a great experience. I plan to return again with my whole family.

Crystal Wong

I just had my daughter’s first birthday party on Saturday and ordered the deluxe package for 45 people. The room (chipped green walls and in the basement) was barely decorated for the party and there was a shortage of centerpieces. There were only 3 tables when promised 6 adult tables. Some of my guests were told that there was no birthday party there that day when arriving and had to speak to multiple front desk people. They almost expected us to bring down the 50 lb cake ourselves until I had to request someone to come with a cart. There was no lighter for the candles and the guest experience host just said oh well and started singing! Horrible!) Immediately kicked out of the party room and rushed my daughters party. Asked to extend for a fee and told me they were understaffed. They only had one person in the room the whole time and no other accommodations. I never received the contract paperwork for the event. When I call, there is no answer. For a $1650 party I expected way more. Overpriced and disappointing. Please Touch Museum please call me or email me. I would prefer a refund.
