Kids Square Children's Museum — Attraction in Roanoke

Great place for toddlers to 10 years of age. My 4and 7 year old grandsons absolutely love this place! There is So much for them to do. They have so many different areas to play in and for them to use their imaginations with hands on activities . The kitchen is usually their first stop then on to, The bank, grocery store, tv camera room, vets office with all kinda of animals, a dentist office, an ambulance, a hospital room, a nursery room, a car that you can work on, a black light room, a theater room, a beauty shop room, a train area, a legos area , a fake sand pit, a playground area, a camping area with RV. and so much more, I love just letting them set the pace and I just follow them from place to place watching with pleasure to see them enjoying themselves so much. We go often and they never ever get bored.and it’s always the first choice of where they want to go.. the staff are great, there are rules that they explain when you go in that are for the safety and enjoyment of all the kids that I’m thankful for and glad they enforce. They work hard going from place to place to put things back in place for the next child to play. Roanoke is so fortunate to have this place for kids. I would highly recommend a yearly pass as soon as you see they are available to buy because if you go around 4 times a year it pays for itself.depending on how many kids you have. Some days we’ve been they have been super busy but the boys don’t seem to notice or mind they just have fun going from place to place to explore what new things they have this time , oh they do that too, change out the toys often so one week you might have certain legos and play sets and then might be mr potato head and Batman and they also do holiday decorations and special events and birthday parties.this in my opinion is the very best place to take kids for hours of play .we usually take a snack to enjoy half way through the play day to enjoy downstairs while we watch the big screen movie. For people visiting Roanoke you will want to check out all the other places at center in the square. And use several days of your vacation downtown Roanoke, you won’t be...

This place is absolutely amazing! It's set up just like a little town, complete with a road painted on the floor that takes you to the various exhibits, which are child-sized versions of stores, a bank, hospital, dentist, food court, and other mini locations made just for kids.

There's an indoor playground with a huge indoor sandbox, activities everywhere, and even hot wheels tracks and cars to play with, slides, tunnels, little caves to explore and so much more! It's easily an all day visit that kiddos will love.

My favorite part was the construction area. Aside from a Lego room in the back, there is a construction room that lets kids learn about all kinds of things related to, not just building, but operating machinery, safety, equipment, framework, and using tools.

Kids can suit up with a neon work vest and hard hat before heading to the site. There are even neon pink options in addition to the traditional orange and yellow/green ones. Bricks, cinder blocks, and 2X4 pieces of lumber are available for building, and look so realistic you might find yourself double taking to make sure. The coolest part was the mini CAT equipment that kids could operate during designated hours. These look just like the real thing and, when attendants are available, kids can take turns digging it moving rocks with these kid-sized CATs using the same controls as if they were grown ups working.

Honestly, there is just so much to do on this place that it's hard to remember it all, and even harder to describe the experiences in a manner that truly reflects how awesome they actually are. Take the kids and spend the day, you won't regret it!! One visit will leave you wanting another, so word of advice- if possible, get a membership!!! It is well worth the price because I promise one visit will leave you wanting another, and another.... And the membership packages are a really great deal, so check them out on the website or ask at the box office when you visit for more...

My review isnt based on the actual place as we didnt get to enjoy it but the manager that was so rude to me. We had a pass from the library to enter, so me and my daughter drove up from an hour away. They let us inside and then found us approx 5-10 minutes later to tell us that we would have to leave and pay to re enter. She said “as the pass cleary states” you are only allowed to use it for thursday-friday entry. Granted it did say that on the pass but we didnt even look at the pass, the other lady that let us in did. Then she asked how old my daughter was, and when I said 14 months she stated “she would have to pay too”. Well she didnt bring her wallet karen. You would think someone working this position would be a lil more nice of a person, its a childrens museum. If the job frustrates you to the point of having that kind of attitude maybe you need to find another job. Try having some compassion and realize it was yall who made a mistake giving us entry, could have been polite about it instead of a cuntasauraus. Inexcusable...
