Children’s Museum of Franklin — Local services in Franklin

Cute but like someone else said its more of a play place than a museum. Interested to see how they grow and expand. Hope to see more educational exhibits. Also pricey for what it is we paid $42 for a family of three when the play place in RI we normally would pay just for our kiddo like $16.

The coolest part was the conveyor belt to lift the ball through a course but it was hard to get the course set in a way that would actually hold the ball and it looks like the conveyor belt was already breaking despite being open for less than a month.

We go there right at opening and the magnatiles were already super sticky and smelled like maple syrup they clearly hadn't been wiped down from the day before which makes me wonder what else hadn't been wiped down.
