This is a fun museum - parking can be a little tricky to find, but they do offer a small free parking lot (shared by the Dover indoor swimming pool - follow the signs). Otherwise, street parking in Dover is relatively cheap, especially compared to city parking prices! This museum has a GREAT upstairs level for the little ones -... More

Not a large museum compared to the Boston Children's Museum but just as much fun, less crowded and noisy. There is plenty to do for all ages. The only food available is from vending machines. More
