What visitors say
For $10-$12 a person it's definitely not a bad way to spend a couple hours with your kids. They do apply military discounts which is nice. I would recommend this especially for kids between ages 3-9.
Our family has been visiting taking our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to CHOM for over 35 years; it is a safe, educational, healthy and fun, happy choice for everyone. We love CHOM and great staff to help if needed.
Absolutely fun for all ages,yes Mimi and pawpaw loved it too. It's wonderful to let the kids show you how they explore everything in their own way.
