Arrive early on weekday mornings or right when the museum opens on weekends to minimize crowds and allow kids to experience all exhibits without long waits, as reviewers noted Saturday morning visits allowed children to do everything they wanted
Visitor tip
The dedicated toddler area is a standout feature - prioritize this first if visiting with very young children, as it's specifically designed for their developmental needs and highly praised by reviewers
Visitor tip
Take advantage of the art stations and water play areas which reviewers consistently highlighted as the best features - these hands-on creative spaces can easily occupy children for extended periods

What visitors say
This place was amazing. We went as soon as they opened on a Saturday morning and the kids were able to do everything they wanted to do. They had sunblock dispensers at the entrance and hand sanitizer placed throughout. Indoor areas…
Perfect place to bring the kid and get them hands on. Staff is the best and always helpful. If your kids likes painting and doing arts and crafts you can spend ages here!!
Wonderful experience with my two granddaughters. Loved the interactive displays and play areas. My girls have been begging to go back.
