I took my 2yr old son to the Children's Museum Short Pump location. It was OK. I think the downtown location would have been much better. The only thing he really enjoyed was the paint and play room that they have set up. Other than that he found the play equipment to be boring =/ More

This is a Childs dream but a parents nightmare! Having so much potential, the Children's Museum just misses the mark during the week!

I would say that the Short Pump location appeals to the toddler to pre-school crowd. There were a few things that dealt with science, a large area that housed... More

It's great for toddlers and preschoolers. Older artistic children will enjoy the art area, but the other areas are more appropriate for younger kids More
