Visitor tip
Plan your visit across multiple floors strategically: Floor 1 has the jungle and fire truck (great for younger kids), Floor 2 features hands-on arts/crafts workshops and sensory play, and Floor 3 has the climbing 'beehive' and swirly slide (better for older kids ages 3-10).
Visitor tip
Visit on a weekday or check for high traffic alerts before arriving. The museum features free parking, clean bathrooms, AC, elevators for strollers/wheelchairs, and outdoor play areas—making it ideal for all-day family visits with multiple age groups.
