💬 What Visitors Say
- Save the water area for last during your visit—kids tend to get wet, so plan this for the end of your day and wear proper closed-toe footwear throughout the museum (avoid sandals) to stay comfortable on wet floors
- Visit on weekday mornings (especially Wednesdays) to enjoy significantly fewer crowds and allow your child to explore the three floors multiple times without waiting
- Use the free parking lot on the south side of the museum instead of the front lot ($2/hour or $10/day) to save on parking costs
- Book summer camps and special events early as they fill up quickly—member-exclusive events like the Ice Cream Social and Toy Box Adventure Week offer added value beyond general admission
- Plan for a full day visit (5+ hours minimum) as the museum has three floors with extensive interactive exhibits; the breadth of content makes it easy to miss attractions if you rush
