Fun place for kids and adults. First place I’ve ever been to that said it was adult friendly. I love it! My daughter (9 yrs) enjoyed it. So much to see and do!! Very clean and sunny. Don’t miss the outside area, the even had a bunny nest with babies that they shared with my daughter! Fun and informative. Worth every minute!

My wife and I and four kiddos went and checked this out a few years back. And it is still as cool and interesting as ever! They do have a new outdoor exhibit unfortunately it was way too hot for us to experience that. There is hands on stuff there to do for kids of all ages! Even adults will enjoy joining in on he fun! Go check it out, great rainy day event!

My kids loved this place - age 2 and 5. It was clean and the staff were great. Plenty for the little ones to do for a couple hours. Found a good deal on groupon. Will definitely visit again!

We've been to this children's museum several times over the years and decided to become members in 2019. February was our first visit in a while. The day we were there it was very busy. That said, not once did I see a staff person out in the play areas, only in the office area. The entire place was in disarray. While some of this can be put back on parents not supervising their children, I would say the staff also has some responsibility in that area, or at least they should! Entire areas were useless because the toys/props were missing (yet could be seen strewn about the museum). The lack of staff presence also made me question the cleanliness of such a hands-on place. Some of the children playing, especially in the beehive area, had a total disregard for smaller children and seemed to be beyond the intended age range for the play areas. A few times, I directed my child elsewhere so she wouldn't be injured by older, rough-housing kids with absent supervision. We'll be back because we already bought the membership, but were sorely disappointed.

We took our seven-year-old daughter to attend while on vacation. We have been to a few other places like this and she usually loves them, but this was mostly a miss. They had 10 or so main exhibits but there were really only three or four she got into and the others she went through quickly. Not sure why, perhaps they were meant for younger children. Therefore, after just an hour, she was ready to leave. There was also an outside area but it was closed due to ‘renovations’. However, I looked and did not see anything going on and it looked fine to me. That probably would have added another 10/20 minutes to the trip if open.
Therefore, the bottom line is that we paid a total of $24 (not sure, why adults pay the same amount as kids) for an hour+ of entertainment. We would have been better off going to a movie.
Last point, I wanted to echo the comments posted in March 2019. We were there an hour after they opened, and the place was already a mess and there were no employees in sight (except in the office). I agree that the staff needs to be around to enforce the rules and clean up, and for parents to better supervise their children. We did see an employee start to clean up while we were leaving but it should have been much sooner.

We visited with family and four young kids ages 8-3. They all had a great time. There were a variety of activities for different ages and interests. The beehive is awesome. My kids loved playing in the water feature the most. My son and husband made a rocket the ended up stuck on the ledge with some others. He was a bit disappointed he couldn’t retrieve it. Entry prices are good and lots of parking we were there from 4-6 on a wed and it wasn’t crowded but several other families were there.

This has interactive exhibits, i.e. water play, farmers market, pretend bee hive, etc. My grandsons are 8 & 10 and they were a little too old for this Discovery Museum. I think the age range of 3-6 would enjoy this. A good rainy day activity.

Great fun kids. They love the Beemazium . The climbing wall is also a winner. Water works area is interesting and fun for the kids. Plus we always make rockets and watch them fly.

Our exhibits are geared towards ages 0-12, so your 15 month old can absolutely enjoy our museum. We do have a specific exhibit focused on the younger ages called Baby Carrots, but we highly suggest exploring the entire exhibit floor. Another popular area for the younger ages is our Water Works, Inc exhibit. We have children both crawling and walking throughout our museum and hope that you choose to join us too! Thank you.
