💬 What Visitors Say
- Use the main elevator in the center of the food court to access the museum, not the side elevators, to avoid getting lost in the Armory building layout
- Visit on weekday mornings, especially rainy weekdays, to avoid crowds while still having access to all exhibits and activities
- Plan for at least 2 hours to explore, and note that all-day tickets allow multiple entries—you can take your child out for naps or lunch and return the same day without repaying admission
- Skip driving and parking; take the monorail or bus instead to avoid expensive, crowded parking lots and long walks with strollers
- This museum is best suited for ages 2-6 years old with limited appeal for children 7+; children older than 6 may find it boring compared to alternatives like Pacific Science Center
