I took my 4 year old to the Creativ e Discovery Museum after it being recommended by friends in recent years. I was really disappointed in the quality of the museum. Some exhibits did not work and some exhibits were missing pieces. I actually saw duct tape holding down the rubber stairway padding. There was a lack of staff in... more

On the first visit here we ended up getting an annual family pass. I have two boys, 9 & 3. My 3 year old LOVE the water play, bubbles on the roof, vacuum messenger, the Curious Georgia exhibit, and all the music rooms. My 9 year old enjoyed the music rooms, building, dyno dig, and the Curious George exhibit as... more

My 2 yr old daughter had fun at the museum. She loved playing in the water and loved the musical instruments. This museum is good for young children. It was a blast watching my daughter interact & have fun with everything. The only thing is that I don't think adults should be charged full price since it is for children... more

I took my daughter there in December 2008 while my husband was at drill with the Tennessee Air National Guard. She absolutely loved it and so did I! I really loved the section about musical instruments! I found myself playing with the exhibits too! My daughter is 3 years old, so I would have tor respectfully disagree with the review... more

We visited on 12/21/08 and our son, 2.5, loved it. He ran around and we played with 99% of the exhibits! Even us parents had a great time. It was too cold for the rooftop playground but we'll hit it next time we're in Chattanooga! I recommend this for parent with a 2.5 and older. Our son will be 3... more

My husband travels for business and we travel along with him so my children (3 and 7) have been to just about every children's museum in the southeast. It seemed to me that Chattanooga really did their research...the best exhibits from every museum I've been to were there. We spent hours. My girls loved the music section. They had a... more

If you have a child that will sit and do hands-on projects, then this will be great for them. Our 2 kids (7&5) blew through most of this. They were more interested in the play area on the roof, which was closed the day we were there. We got on the roof and played for a couple of minutes before... more

I took my two children to this museum in June 2008. It looks really cool from the outside and it is in downtown chattanooga, right next to where the chattanooga lookouts play. I took my 6 year old and 2 year old. This place was perfect for my 6 year old, but my 2 year old was bored. I thought... more

This is one of the best children's museum's we have been to. It has been recently renovated and expanded and will provide hours of entertainment for your children (especially those 10 and under, though our 13 year old stayed the whole time with us). We spent about 5 hours here because our 4 yr old loved it so much. There... more
