💬 What Visitors Say

💬Bring or purchase 'grippy socks' before your visit - they're required in the play areas. The museum sells them on-site if you forget, but bringing your own saves time and money.
💡Plan to spend 2+ hours to fully enjoy all exhibits. The cafe and espresso bar inside make it easy for parents to relax with coffee while supervising children, so you can stay longer without needing to leave the venue.
💬Consider booking the entire venue for birthday parties - staff are noted as 'super helpful' with setup and cleanup, making it a hassle-free celebration option for families.
💡The museum is excellent for children ages 2-6+ with mixed-age play opportunities. Younger toddlers benefit from the motor play areas, while older kids enjoy STEM exhibits, theatre, and dance spaces - all in one visit.
💡Mark the Color Run Fundraiser on June 27th on your calendar - it features unique activities (tie dye, glitter tattoos, bubble stations) that complement the regular exhibits, offering seasonal variety.
