"Fun, but could use a little updating"

I've been to this museum a few times on school trips and although the children seem to have fun running around and playing on the indoor play areas, I always feel like it could use a little sprucing up.  There are some slides, an castle play area, a big area for building with cardboard bricks, and a tunnel.  The last time the tunnel had a leak in it so was not in use.  Very dissappointing since the kids seem to like this the best.
There are also a few educational centers and a dress up zone.  It can be a fun thing to do on a winter's day, but don't expect too much.

"Fun with the Family"


Located inside the Williamsport YMCA, the Children’s Discovery Workshop is a handson museum for children ages three to eleven. The interactive exhibits are designed to inspire children’s imaginations, explorations, and discoveries. Features include a toddler area, bricks to build a castle, a pretend ice-cream parlor, and changing exhibits.One of the most popular features is the 129-foot-long “FUNnel,” which children can crawl through.
