We have been members of the Kohl Children's musuem on & off for the last 5 years. With a 2 & 6 year old, it's a nice indoor attraction with lots of educational interactive exhibits. Our favorites are a child sized grocery store with grocery carts and cash registers for children to role play and a recent addition - a... More

I have grandchildren who love this place and never get tired of going. There are so many hand on exhibits for them to play and not knowing that they are learning. There are mock rooms, restaurant, nursery, vet, grocery store, and they have a music, water room, along with a discovery room that has different exhibits and a opportunity for... More

This place is just crazy. My kids are completely overwhelmed. It is the only Children's museum in this area and there are hundreds of kids every time we go. I'm not sure they have any kind of capacity limit. The noise and chaos is everywhere you go. More

Brought my nephews here. I would say it's good for kids up to age 6 or 7. After that, they get too big for the exhibits and get bored! More

I was concerned that my kids would be too old for this museum based on the other reviews, but we tried it anyway. They loved it! If you kids love pretend play, they will love it here. There is a baby nursery, grocery, restaurant, animal hospital, library, and others. There are also some science exhibits, an art room, water play,... More
