Such an amazing place for kids. It's free for kids under 2 and affordable nonetheless (way cheaper than the other children's museums we've been to, and better too!). There's a giant indoor playground inside Eddie, a Cessna, a jumbo jet cockpit, a firetruck, ambulance, news room,...Read More

Great children’s learning place. Fun places to “try out” careers such as piloting a plane, driving a fire truck, broadcasting the news and so much more. Love the 40 ft Eddie that shows how our bodies work. Fun for kids and adults alike.

It's a great children's museum, the kids are very excited. They had a few camps and class trips and it gets crowded there. Pricing is reasonable and there is plenty to see..

We went on the recommendation of Blippi, as our daughter had been watching the show and Adventures popped up. We live within driving distance so we went for it. Admission is only $13 per person. Great value. We spent about 3 hours there. Definitely recommended...Read More

This is such a great little spot to hang out with the kids, I would recommend it for younger children, maybe up to 7/8ish. After that, there are far fewer things for older kids to do. My youngest is 10 and she enjoyed herself but...Read More
