I took my 1.5 year old daughter here today and she really enjoyed it. There are activities that are better suited for an older child; perhaps a 5 year old, but there are also enough creative spaces for smaller children to enjoy.
The three areas I am giving a lower rating on:
The play area that is only reserved for 6+ year olds. This set up is similar to “House of Play” and a younger child could very well utilize this play area, alongside a parent.
There should be an area for food/drinks, or at minimum a vending machine for healthy snack options. I always have food/snacks/drinks packed for my child, but it would be nice to have something for the adults.
Last, the admission fees are super expensive, considering the size of this museum (very small) and what you actually get for the price. I paid over $30 for myself and my daughter and I think it’s overpriced, so this should be re-evaluated by management.
Overall, decent place to go with your little ones or to sit down with them and...
Read moreThis is a new children's museum located in Victoria Gardens and really fun for small children. The main features are the water table and crawl space, and there are several other small rooms for exploration and interactive play. The admission is a little pricey for the size of the museum, but I consider part of it as a donation to the library.
There are a good number of seats for parents and caregivers to relax. Though my photos show very few visitors, it was actually a little busy, which is understandable given the holiday week. There's not much room for a stroller to get around and no indoor cafes, so be sure to bring your own food. There's a partly underground parking structure very near the library and museum, so you won't be taking little ones home in a hot car.
We were able to see everything in about 2 hours, but my little one had so much fun with the water table that we stayed a bit longer. I'd...
Read moreVery cool center for young kids to discover and play. Probably best suited for ages 2-5; anything older they will probably get bored quick. We spent 1.5 hours there, though we could’ve spent another hour if it were not closing time. I couldn’t pull my 3 year old away from the interactive water table. Once I did, he had fun in another room but eventually wanted to go back to the water table. I love that this place is offered for tots, however I do wish it was a little bigger and that the other exhibits (other than water table) were a little more exciting - maybe along the lines of wind, sound, light wave activities. There also is not much room to sit with a stroller and feed a baby. Cost is a little high at $15 for 1-17 year olds and $16 for 18+. We would definitely go back again though as my toddler had...
