Children's Museum of La Crosse — Attraction in La Crosse

There is so much to do for children of all ages, and adults that are kids at heart ;) There are free activities daily, summer camps for kids, programming for every interest. Big things come in small packages in this museum. There is a dinosaur maze exhibit, a 3 story climbing tower, a river, a crane to build a bridge, train and bridge exhibit, a plane flying simulator, and that's just the first floor! The main floor features a real antique fire truck plus costumes for kids to explore, an electronic floor game to play soccer, sort recycling, pop bubbles, and more. Experiment with moving air in a wall pipe maze with scarves, a pin impression display, colored lights, xylophone, fun house mirrors. On the too floor, climb a tree house, play with blocks made from naturally finished tree pieces, control the weather, gas up and get groceries at a huge Kwik Trip exhibit, play at a bank, give the forecast and newscast in the news studio, build a fort with huge foam building pieces, a massive barn for littles, a giant light bright, a shadow room, a piano, and tons more. The museum is wheelchair-friendly, which is excellent. My 3 year old son had an "accident." The front desk has clothes and underwear for boys and girls of different sizes donated by a charity to cover parents in case of such accidents ;) Plan to spend around 3 hours at the museum. Week days are least busy. The fun programs happen in...

I cannot say enough about this children's museum it was so awesome I went thinking like most of the children's museums we'd be there for a couple hours and the children would either be tired of it or the crowds like at the children's museum in Illinois the Kohl's museum are always so bad that the kids get tired of it cuz they have to wait in line for everything neither was the case we had to drag them out for lunch and come back and finish their day it was so much fun a three-story tall leaf structure that's netted so they can't fall off my grandbabies 2 and 4 kind all the way to the top of it and back down again they played so hard we had to drag them out for lunch time promising to come straight back and they were asleep before I was on the ice State taking them home that evening it was the most wonderful trip in the world for them the perfect size big enough to have everything but small enough you're not worried about losing them and it's not so crowded that they have to wait in line and wait to do everything perfect place for...

I had high hopes since this is one of the only real kids attractions in the area but was severely disappointed. The kids in this place are wild. Parents did not watch their children and so, it made it very unsafe for our 18 month old. He almost got beat up by a 7 year old who started to throw a tantrum next to him. He almost got pushed over by kids running through the pool noodles. I was very disappointed to see clearly sick children in the place. I'd think it'd be common courtesy to keep your sick children at home to avoid getting everyone else sick. I was also seriously disappointed to find that they charge fully for parents as well. It ended up costing us 30 dollars and we decided we likely won't be taking him back. It was definitely not a good experience for us. I'm sure that...
