What visitors say
One of our favorite places to visit. My son loves all of the different learning stations, the interactive exhibits, and the creative station for him to let out his inner artist. He can spend hours playing and exploring and enjoy each…
Entrance is included in the ticket of whatcom museum. It's very entertaining for kids, in a healthy way. My kids would love to be here again.
Wonderful place to take your toddlers as they have so much stuff for them to play and interact with and on Friday the Art paining is free and wonderful. They love it!
