We did a visit to this museum while looking where to host our upcoming national conference's off-site event for our attendees. Definitely a great space.

Program appears to be designed for 3 & 4 year olds. An enthusiastic presenter for program. Seemed to have regular attendees from community. Good if you are already in Baltimore. Possibly not worth a special trip from suburbs - for these younger kids. Lots of hands-on displays useful for older kids. These hands-one exhibits are not grouped together, but are part of separate, themed displays. A very nice, very interesting museum.…

Thanks for your kind words. We adore our Wee Worker visitors who explore the museum galleries and artifacts with a different topic each week, from trucks to cookies to hats.

If you're not a history museum-type of person than this one won't pull you in and win you over. But if you're willing to go and see what it has to offer there are some neat bits here. It's not big, a nice leisurely morning. I was disappointed that there wasn't a tour option for our visit. (Other reviews said they were worthwhile.) I can see that making the museum go from ok to great. For example, my two elementary school boys liked the video game exhibit. It didn't grab them at first, and took a little patience at first to understand but with perseverance they really got into. I might sound like a broken record but I feel that is the way most exhibits were. They didn't suck you in, you had to patiently want to check them out, read, and then you enjoyed them once you started investing in them. Is that a curating problem? Is that a display problem? Do they need more interactive things? I don't know. But that's where I think the personal experiences and tour-guides help the museum's reviews.…
