The Scene – Visitors approaching the building know immediately that this is a thinking child's playground, thanks to the friendly architecture that includes giant children "holding up" the sides of the structure with outstretched arms. This is the kind of place where youngsters play while learning. Appreciative parents can participate or observe. – – The Collection – An auditorium and rooms for classes and celebrations make the museum multifunctional, while the main attraction, 14 galleries of interactive exhibits, educate and fascinate. Visit a Mexican mountain…

Miraculous Museum
by kostfeld
This museum is WONDERFUL! It provides a great hands-on learning environment and family learning is highly encouraged throughout the museum, so you can have fun playing with your kids while they learn. Children are encouraged to learn through play and experimentation. The have many terrific galleries, each of which engages the child's mind. Finally, the staff people, which are on the floor in nearly every exhibit, are great sources of information and exceedingly helpful.
- Pros: Very Inexpensive, Helpful Staff, Hands-on learning
- Cons: Not much for age 13+

Fun for toddlers
by jeffcaynon
The Children's Museum is a great place to spend some quality time with your little ones. My 2 year old had a great time. We will go back again. Additionally, the price of admission can't be beat.
