"Disappointed"

  At first, I thought it was great. The staff their looks under age. They never told us that there was a private party there. My two year old did not understand why she could not have a balloon. I paid 18 dollars for three of us and the art supplies was not even filled. If we were informed of the private birthday party and the art supplies were filled, I think this place would have been a five. However, the staff makes it a three.

"Great for toddlers"

My 3 year old loves this museum.  When I say we are going, he immediately tells me about the "firetruck upstairs", though I think he places on it the least.  There are lots of activities that involve imaginative play - cafe, store, post office, bank, vet office, trolley & firetruck.  But there are also lots of more manipulative activities too - blocks, legos, bristle blocks, magnets, etc.  We spend lots of time there.

"6 yr old and 3 yr old loved it."

Being from the Seattle area, spending $6 per person was easy. And for six dollars there is so much for the children to do and see.
Our 6 yr old loved the body/bones and attic exhibits. All the "old people toys" , as my son called them, were great and inspired us to get some wooden and plain toys for our kids.
Our 3 yr old was in love with the school and the grocery store.
All in all we had a great time and will be going back for sure.

"Be prepared to stay for hours!!"

My daughter loved this. we had never been before so we had no idea what it was all about. but when we  got in we were downstairs for at least an hour and a half then we made our way upstairs and played for another 45 minutes! my daughter really had a blast pretending to drive the fire truck and being in school.

"Even For The Young At Heart ..."

There is no doubt every child both young and old will enjoy every inch of this Museum. There is tons to explore.  Each floor has a new adventure and the kids won't want to leave.  It allows them to tap into their imagination in the Market & Town sections, feel like firefighters driving the big fire truck , play and learn with the puzzles and  explore the park scene and live amongst the animals in our area.  Their calendar is always chuck full of additional activities that are often free with paid admission. Keep a lookout for their monthly half admission days too :)  You will NOT be sorry in visiting here :)

"Fun for Rainy Days..."

I really like this place.  Its great for rainy days.  My only issue is that they don't change the exhibits very often, if at all.  Its pretty well rounded though.  They have  things for all ages.  My kiddos love it here though.  Slightly spendy for my taste, but it gets us out of the house.

"Fun with the Family"

Walk through a toddler-size cityscape, climb aboard a fire truck, create giant bubbles, or construct a Lego village at this interactive museum.
