We took our nearly three year old grandson here today. He had a blast! We were there for over three hours and if it wasn't for the fact that "POPS" needed a nap we would have been there a couple more hours! Kids can experience anything from changing a muffler on a car (kid size of course) to picking vegetables... More

This is a great place to take the kids when the weather is not so nice..or when it is bright and sunny. The different exhibits will keep most young children (2-9 y.o.) busy and engaged. I've been taking my daughter since she was a toddler and it never gets old. They have recently added a food court, which is a... More

Love the $2.00 night. Not that crowded and a great price to experience the place. Wonderful craft opportunities, science learning sessions and climbing available. My son is 5 and he really enjoyed his time there. The people who work there are wonderful as well.

There are many activities to keep children of all ages engaged for hours. There are so many hands on activities that even though the museum was crowded we never had to wait to find an activity that was available. At $12 a person it will probably keep us from going back as often as the grandkids would like to go,... More

Great hands on for kids under 12. Perfect for a rainy day or for an hour or two adventure to go along with some time at the Riverfront.

This is a start to what is going to turn out to be a very nice museum. Loved the activities they had for the children (especially the scooters which I went out and bought a couple later on). A nice addition to the area.

Went on the week end, and my 5 year old was able to see and participate in all the exhibits - it's not swamped like the Smithsonian. Well worth the visit if you have youg ones

I visited this museum with my 4 year old grandaughter. We spend almost two hours going through the museum. It is very hands on and is geared to younger children. She had a wonderful time spending the day with Poppy.

I decided to take my daughter to this museum instead of the one in Philadelphia I normally go to and what a nice relaxed refreshing atmosphere it was. As of this writing admission is only $12 dollars and the parking is free and pretty plentiful. The museum itself is only one story but everything is spread out and nothing feels... More
