Best time
Call ahead to check school field trip schedules and plan your visit on non-field trip days to avoid overwhelming crowds, as reviews note the museum can get 'crazy crowded' during school visits
Visitor tip
Baby Bayou and the Baby Brain Building Space (ages 3 and under) are exceptionally clean, orderly, and less crowded than other exhibits—ideal for families with infants and toddlers
Visitor tip
The museum features unique hands-on role-play exhibits including a mini NICU, Discovery Hospital with doctor/nurse roles, EMS learning, and a mini fire department—spend extra time in these interactive areas as they provide valuable educational experiences beyond typical museum activities

The staff is wonderful and the space is fun for younger kids! Not too much for older kids though. Downsides are it can get crazy crowded when there are school field trips. I’d recommend calling in advance to schedule around them.
