I do NOT recommend going here unless you are the parent or baby-sitter of a kid under 6 years old. It's basically a giant playground for little kids with some interactive things like play stages, fake grocery stores, and interactive semi-learning games. It's crowded with stampedes of screaming little kids running all over the place. More

Have been to a half dozen or so children's museums and this one is in the upper middle. Frankly, I would expect a larger museum for a city the size of Milwaukee, but it is a lot of fun there and someone who lives in Milwaukee should get a membership. My 11 year old was bored, but my 4, 6,... More

We just purchaced a yearly pass. I love visiting here with my 8 year old and 2 year old they both have a blast. I love that the exhibits change throughout the year so there are new things to see all year round! More

A must go in Milwaukee. A lot of imagination and effort put in the games and interactive exhibits. Be prepared to pry your kid off, they will not leave without a fight!! More

We spent a day here and still didn't have time to do everything. It will appeal to any child, since there is so much variation throughout. Tons of themed rooms... grocery store, car repair shop, camping trip, etc. More

My son is seven and for him, there didn't seem to be much, mostly for younger children. He mostly played in the playground section. We could have gone to the park for free for that! I would bring a smaller child there but from seven upward, I don't think it is worth it. More

Love that admission includes whatever activities are going on. Currently go to the yoga storytime every other Tuesday and the instructor is fantastic. Class is included in the price, as is arts and craft activities, puppet shows and a variety of other fun things. Membership is totally worth the money! More
