Black Earth Children's Museum — Local services in Black Earth

My child had a lot of fun at the Black Earth Children's Museum! There was a lot of different themed areas for children to play in, including musical instruments, learning about space, slides, natural habitats, and climbing a rock wall. The place was relatively organized, and most kids were respectful and put their toys away when they were done playing in a certain area.

The staff was very kind and friendly, but they were not the most helpful for a first time visitor. I carried my coat and bag the entire time, and it turns out the museum has a coat rack (which is awesome, now I know for next time if we choose to come back).

Their very small kids play area was well laid out with accesible activities for the littlest ones...unfortunately there we're a bunch of older children playing rowdily when I was in this area, so my almost 1 year old did not get to play for long. One down side to this place is that they are a small organization so they don't have a lot of staff to fix things when they break or get damaged. There we're a handful of activities that we could not use because they were damaged. The flying...
