Went there with my 2-yr-old and 3-month-old a couple months ago. I love the products in the museum store--it's a one-stop shop for encouraging my toddler to learn through play. Every time I go to Habitot I walk away with something--that day with 5 items! Wish I knew they had such a nice raincoat and rain boots selection before I... More

I was very unhappy with our recent visit, I thought the place was very unsanitary, the play areas didn't seem like they had been cleaned in awhile and we were there shortly after it opened, so you would think it would be clean. The bathroom was disgusting too. On top of all of that, it was very expensive, I'm not... More

I took my two year old daughter to this museum (my nine year old had to stay home with Dad because the age range is only 0-6), and we had fun but I wouldn't say it's the best children's museum around. There is a small play store/restaurant with play food and a couple of cash registers and some shopping carts... More

My grandkids love this place. There are multiple areas for little ones with limited attention spans. They can paint, wearing aprons, and slop all over. They can create individual art projects with glitter and glue. They can plan in water. They can play with a train set, climb in a little house, shop in a little "grocery store" and many... More

I went with my friend and her twin two year old boys and they had a blast. One of them didn't even get passed the first exhibit of the spaceship he was having so much fun. While it's small, there's lots for little kids to do. They have a section for the "artist" in the family or a local grocer.... More

Habitot is heaven for tired mommies and toddlers! I took my son when he was about 18 months and he loved every minute of our visit. It's expensive if you're just paying for a one-time visit, since adults and children both have to pay something like $9 each. But the great thing is that it's all enclosed so you can... More
