All in all, I really love this place. However, I still am not certain it's actually a museum. I didn't see anything "educational" there, but there is lots of activities for the kids to do and it is (mostly) wheelchair accessible. They have a little area designated for kids 2 and under, and everything else seems suitable for kids up to 10 or so. There is an optical illusion area with a slide, a water table area which is a big hit with all the kids, an arts and crafts area, a big play structure with tunnels and whatnot, the train that you can walk through that also has books and costumes for dress-up in the back, and an area where you can build towers with a remote controlled crane. Older children would most likely get bored easily. At most I think you could spend 3 hours here. It can get loud on a busy day, but it has an open feel to it and theres lots of places to sit. One complaint I have: Aside from the staff at the front desk and one or two doing rounds, there is no one around to help explain things, show you how to use something, or even enforce rules. I had an experience there a while ago when my daughter was almost 2, and some much older kids were running up the slide and one smacked into my daughter who was trying to go down. I had to be the one to tell them not to do that. Of course they didn't listen to me, and the adult with them ignored it and just stared blankly when I encouraged them to pay attention. Perhaps not so much the fault of the lack of staff, but of ignorant parents. At that moment I wish there had been an employee who could have helped me out though, which would make sense since it was totally packed with people. With all that said, your young child will have an absolute blast and I recommend visiting.

Took my 16 month old for the morning and they had SOOOO much fun. The exhibits were so engaging and developmentally appropriate. The only negative was a family of children who's parent was sitting working on their computer and not accompanying their children. So his children decided to follow us around all day with one of his boys pushing my daughter and taking her toys from her. I eventually told the staff and the family left thank goodness. The eldest daughter was watching the children and she was doing her best bust the brothers were not listening at all. I recommend taking your children here but please remember to accompany your children as an 8 year old should not be pushing babys and taking their toys.

For the price we both paid to go in, while the exhibits they do have are nice, there is not a lot there for kids to play with. The water table set up was pretty cool, and my son loved the slide and the mellow marsh area, with the bird sounds. But aside from this he didn't really play with much else. I had to pay to go in and follow him around. I think I just expected it to be a bit larger and have more things to do. The free parking was nice, but I feel like Hide and Seek, would give him more to run around ad play with for half the price. That being said. Interesting to check out maybe once or twice a year.

An interesting place for children to explore and play. From the large play structures, to the large actual train, along with the water displays there's a lot to do and many things kids can learn from as they play and explore. Equal parts play and learn, I recommend the trip to see the children's museum at least once. Though there are not as many things to do as the Manitoba museum, it is varied enough and unique enough to stand on it's own as an experience worth seeing. The experiences are grand enough that kids can bounce back and forth without quickly getting bored with any individual experience.
