We took our ganddaughter to the Lexington Explorium and had a wonderful time! She was so entertained and enjoyed the freedom to explore so many interesting projects and displays. At five years old, everything is why, how, and when; this museum allows a child to have fun while learning. More

My granddaughter had a great time and didnt want to leave. She is four, and loved the art room, the bubble room, the boats and the dancing videos on the floor. It is a great space for all ages and we learned a lot about horses, geology and dinosaurs, among other things. Reasonable cost and a great way to spend... More

It was fun to be around people of all ages that were enjoying learning and living. I had a great time with mom. I hadn't had a good laugh in a while. It was refreshing, exhilarating, educational, and most of all, FUN. It was well worth the fee. Plan to spend a couple of hours. More

My wife and I took our four-year-old to the Explorium on a weekday. The price was very reasonable, and since it was a weekday, it wasn't very busy. As some of the reviews have stated, some of the exhibits showed quite a bit of wear and tear, but I found it very acceptable relative to the admission price. Besides that,... More
