Super fun things for kids to do!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for children aged 1 through 10. Toddlers and preschoolers get the most out of the hands-on exhibit format. Families visiting multiple times should seriously consider the annual membership — it breaks even quickly. At least one adult per five children is required by museum policy. Closed on Tuesdays.

“Super fun things for kids to do!”

“Just amazing! My girls had a blast. High priced! 9$ per person including adults! But a year membership for 6 people is $100. A membership makes more sense”

“Really fun place for families. As soon as you walk in, it feels bright, welcoming, and full of energy. The front desk staff are awesome. They are super friendly and helpful, and they make checking in easy. They answer questions and help you figure out where to go, which makes the whole visit start off great. The museum has lots of hands on activities for kids. Instead of just looking at things, kids can play, build, and explore. There are different areas like pretend play, science, and art, so there’s something for everyone. My children also loved the new plane exhibit. Everything is clean and easy to get around, which makes it nice for parents too. There are also places to sit while the kids play. I would definitely recommend!”
