What visitors say
Kids ages 8, 6, and 2 spent about 3.5 hours here. We were in from out of town and on spring break so it was not busy at all on a weekday morning. There's a wonderful coffee shop in the building to grab coffee at before you take the kids…
We drove up from Norfolk to this children’s museum with our 3 year old. And we’re blown away at how awesome this place is. Very clean. The layout allows you to be able to watch multiple children play at one time. We will definitely be back.
We love this place! The kids have such a great time here! They probably play for 3 hours at least just exploring and playing.
