"Nice Kids Venue"

It seems as though the previous reviewer didn't see this venue for what it is!  A CHILDREN'S museum.  I enjoy interacting with my children while they explore.  That is half the fun of the Children's Museum.  Right now, they are in the process, looks like from the signs, of creating two new exhibits outside and one inside.  I can't wait to go back and check them out.  My children love coming to this place and we find it a great value for a Children's Museum.  You need to check it out if you haven't already.

"Dirty and not worth the money"

This is nothing but a filthy oversized classroom.  They charge $5 per person which is GREEDY for what they offer.  I could see $5 per child but there is NOTHING for the parents to do.  The toys were disgusting, the costumes for the kids to dress up in hadn't been washed in a long time and the outside play area was lacking.  I was really dissappointed and felt cheated out of my $15 for my twenty minute visit.

"Escondido Children's Museum"

What a gem in downtown Escondido.  Amidst artists studios you'll find this cozy hands-on museum has many surprises.  Imaginations can go wild in the building area, gluing wood together to create sculptures, stories come to life in their puppet theater.  Climb inside the giant tree, climb up to the look out and send messages via the pulley system.  There is a separate play area for the smaller set, and an old time school house complete with period fashions to try on.
