Lexington Children’s Museum — Attraction in Lexington

Very disappointed!!!! We are from Tennessee and brought our 3 & 4 year old to Kentucky. We decided on our way out to make a stop in the Explorium to let the kids play, since most of our trip was spent in a room or in the hospital. The very first thing we stopped at in the explorium (the little aquarium) was broke, the next thing the horse measure thing was also messed up. Then we got to what would have been our kids favorite part; the water. No absolutely just no!! It was disgusting, nasty and barely had any water in it. Where we live we have a Creative discovery museum in Chattanooga about 1 hour from our house. Which we usually go to. For what we paid for 4 people to get into the explorium we could add about $35 more to it and get a year membership to our discovery museum. I read the reviews on this place before we went but thought maybe they've fixed the issues. They haven't which is sad it has a lot of potential. But for us we decided not to waste our time nor our money and asked for a refund. Which they were ify on giving us, even though Wed only been in there maybe 8 minutes. The parking also sucks. My suggestion don't wasteyour time trying to park and then wwalking to this place and then waste your money in there it definitely is...

This is the second time I have been here and each time we're delighted with the items that are available. From this experience. As I was walking in the was a couple outside talking about how bad it was. I stopped in the door to take off our coats. The guy came back inside said something to the lady and she have him some money back. She Was very helpful to his problem. I walked up she asked if had been there before and I stated yes. Very pleasant and helpful. Every time we would walked passed they would ask if we could help or if we needed anything and asked us if we were enjoying ourselves. We drive from Clay City to come here. One of the main reasons is there our an activity around every corner for you and your child. My daughter is 5 and I have to drag her out almost every time! We played together for hours on end without a care in the world. Some of the exhibits were down but for the cheap price I can live with it. She has a blast every time we go. And he imagination can run wild with the props but also very educational without her knowing! My only complaint would be up front it would be awesome to have lockers to place purses, wallets etc. Even for a price. We will be...

If I could give this 0 stars, I would. My friend and I took her 2 year old daughter thinking it would be a great time. Upon arrival the first room with the horses looked completely normal and nice. As we entered the next room we experienced one of the dirtiest, most off-putting experiences I have ever seen. Every single station was completely run down and DIRTY. There were outdated items all over the place, the carpet did not look vacuumed and every station was practically in shambles. I cannot believe this is supposed to be an educational place for KIDS when it is a living-breathing GERM PLAYGROUND. In the doctor's office themed area, the baby dolls were all dirty and there were papers all over the floor, the place was falling apart. My friend and myself were actually crawling out of our skin. We refused to continue at the explorium by going to the upstairs area because we were mortified of what we exposed a 2 year old to as well as ourselves. I would never recommend this place to ANYONE and would never be returning. It was a waste of $30. Make sure you have a tetanus shot before going in there. I cannot get the image out of my head with how disgusting...
