For my 2 and 4 year old boys it was an adventurous place. Some of the exhibits didn't seem so elaborate but they loved to play in each place. My children are spoiled and have been many places. They had as much or even more fun here as some of the big expensive attractions on big cities.

Huge catfish through the roof! Also displays of other river information, local industry, power generation. Hands-on activities such as rudimentary carpentry, arts and crafts, even a floor keyboard played by walking on it. Kids love it.

This is just a great place for the kids, the staff are a lot of fun, and very knowledge about what the museum has to offer. There is even a walking trail available for anyone who would like to take a stroll around the beautiful grounds.

Weary parents traveling with young children can find a respite from the road by taking their children through this museum made just for them. Gardens abound and playgrounds are nearby. A place to let the kids run loose for a bit and wear themselves out.

This is a fun, hands-on, place for younger children. Check out Deibert Park while you're there. My children have spent hours there. It's always a great place to go on a rainy day.
