Best for children ages 1–7. Toddlers under 2 engage readily with sensory and movement exhibits. The staff's attentiveness to children with developmental differences makes it a welcoming choice for families seeking an inclusive environment.

β€œI took my younger sister her and she wasn’t really interested. She is special needs so it can be hard to get her to interact outside of her comfort zone. The staff was very accommodating and all the interactive activities were fun for me. I would definitely bring her back on one of her good days to see if she’ll try it again.”
