Kidcity Children's Museum — Attraction in Middletown

The museum was ok.The only room dedicated to Littles was just that a room.. there was a slide and a few (two) tunnels to crawl through. It no toys or things for them to play with. The rest of the museum was only for bigger kids and my 18 month old was getting trampled at every turn. The thing I disliked the most was the electrical outlets were not covered in the Littles room! The staff at the front desk was great but the staff that was walking around was a bunch of young kids and you could tell they didn’t want to be there at all!!

**Update I spoke with the staff at the front desk about the outlet situation because it had been on my mind, and I was nervous for the littles at KidCity. They let me know that the power outlets have built in child protectors and when Sue explained it to me, it made so much sense. Kids take the plastic covers off and could try to eat it or even stick it into the outlet. So that makes total sense. The littles room is for kids 2 an under, the room itself is cool and my daughter did have a good time. I thought she would have been bored because there are not any toys to play with. But the room itself was enough for my daughter (who is walking, does stairs) she was able to go down the slide alone (there is a thick mat at the bottom) She really did have a good time even without toys. I will be going back hopefully on a calmer day so my 18-month-old can explore the "big kid" areas without being run over. Sue was great, answered all my questions and gave us passes to come back. If it wasn't for Sue & the way she handled the call, we would not have gone back. The staff (had to be no older than 18) that walk around (on their phones not really paying attention to the kids or seeing if anyone needs help) need to take a lesson from the front desk workers for sure. Thank you Sue we will see y'all...

"NOTICE! This Coop is Now Gender Neutral" It's quite disappointing that Kidcity Children's Museum has chosen to prioritize political agendas over providing a fun and educational experience for 1-7-year-old children. The recent decision to make the coop gender neutral seems unnecessary and irrelevant to the interests and needs of young children. Children and chickens alike are unlikely to be concerned with such political matters. Unfortunately, it seems that Kidcity Children's Museum is more interested in pushing their own ideologies than catering to the developmental needs of children. This approach feels like a disservice to parents who expect a neutral and inclusive environment for their kids to learn and play. Instead of indulging in unnecessary politicization, Kidcity Children's Museum should focus on delivering a quality experience for children, taking inspiration from establishments like Bud Light and Target. These successful brands manage to cater to a wide range of customers without subjecting young minds to divisive ideologies. Instead of focusing on delivering a quality experience that puts children's needs first, Kidcity Children's Museum seems more preoccupied with promoting a "woke" culture. This approach mirrors the mistakes made by other companies, such as Bud Light and Target, who suffered significant revenue losses when they veered into political involvement. Parents seeking a politically neutral environment for their children may want to consider alternatives. In light of the museum's apparent inclination towards promoting a "woke" culture, I cannot recommend visiting Kidcity Children's Museum if you want to shield your children from such influences. It's unfortunate to witness a place that should prioritize children's innocence and joy become a platform for...

KidCity is a museum for young children ages 1 to 7. It's located inside a historic house built around 1835; it was called the Camp-Sterns house and it was used as a covent for 70 years by St. Sebastian Church. The church donated it to be used as this museum. Before going, a reservation is required; making reservations was easy on their website.

There was a metered parking lot behind the museum; when we went on a Wednesday, it was $1 per hour. Checking in was easy. There is a room where you can eat and drink, since you can't do that inside the exhibits; there is also a coat room and gift shop. Each room had a theme and kids are encouraged to pretend play. There are three floors and the room themes are:

Fishery Space aged road trip Middleshire La Piazza Rollerducks Toddler Sea Caves: for children 2 years and younger. Main St. Farm

They have artists that created these exhibits. The attention to detail was amazing; from the steam coming out of the sinks, the fake fire and sounds from the stoves, and the fire pit at the Middleshire, to name a few. The artwork was very intricate and well thought out. I give major props to the artists!

We visited for my son's birthday and they gave him a free T-shirt, that's so awesome. The customer service was great. There were plenty of restrooms with changing tables. My family and I were there for a couple of hours and the kids loved it. I highly recommend a visit if you have young children! It's definitely up there with one of my favorite children museums thus far. Also, it's in a great locations with tons of...
