I love Treehouse Museum. It has a place in my heart, as my first job was there, and it was an amazing experience. That, though, was many years ago! Back then, it was a fraction of the size, in the old mall that is no more. The only other time I've been there was probably around 10 years ago, with a niece. It has expanded SO MUCH. Two adults and three 2yos went this time. We all had fun. We spent about three hours there, and didn't see everything, let alone DO everything! Not even the things or little ones could. It was well worth the admission. That said, I had a few frustrations.
I don't like paper tickets when I want to come and go. It's too easy to lose or ruin them.
I had a really hard time just keeping track of my twins, even with the other mom's excellent help. There are many, many walls to disappear behind. It's not something that needs to change, but you should be aware.
I was a bit sad because we arrived just before a storytime...I think. The website listed it, but the girl who checked us in didn't say a word, and I was distracted and didn't realize the time. With apparently only one the whole day, I wish we'd been told.
I also THINK there are lockers, but didn't see anything about them. I ended up hauling a heavy diaper pack around the entire time.
I was disappointed a couple of times when small craft type spots did not have supplies.
Finally, there are tables under shade outside to eat at--yay!! But no trash cans in sight. We had to go around the corner, back to the one by the entrance. It would also be really nice if there was a place to get food close by. Something to take back to the tables maybe. Something very kid friendly. My friend is more than 37 weeks pregnant, and was on her feet to chase toddlers in the museum. The thought of traipsing to a restaurant in the heat to boot was too much!
Overall, we had a great time. Nothing that bugged me enough to even for a moment consider leaving early or not returning. I think it is a...

Read moreThis place is decent—not top-tier, but cute and engaging for younger kids (ages 2–6).
Pros:
I love the variety of themed play areas and exhibits.
Each section includes matching books, which is a thoughtful touch.
There are educational elements throughout, even if that’s not the main focus.
I love the different country themed parts (being of Japanese and Native American descent, this was very meaningful)
Cons:
-The hand sanitizer stations were empty, which feels like a miss for such a hands-on environment. I found myself constantly wiping my kids’ hands instead.
-The front desk staff could benefit from a little more flexibility and empathy.
During fall break, I wanted to quickly peek at one specific room before paying admission. It’s the only area my 12-year-old enjoys, and if it was overcrowded (as it often is), spending nearly $60 for the day wouldn’t have made sense for my family. I asked politely if I could just step a few feet from the front desk—clearly within sight—to see how busy that area was. The employee repeatedly said “no, sorry,” without taking a moment to actually hear what I was asking, or my situation.
I completely understand the importance of rules for safety and fairness, but there’s also room for common sense and customer care. This interaction left a poor impression, and unfortunately, we decided not to stay, nor will we be returning....it truly left an "ike" taste in my mouth.
I’m sharing this not out of spite but in hopes that management might encourage staff to balance policy with understanding. A little flexibility goes a long way in creating a welcoming,...
