Surprisingly good sized museum. Went here on a Tuesday during the day. It is inside the UW- Fox…read moreCities campus. Nice little museum with a lot of stuff to see. It is very reasonable cost I think it was $3 for adults and $2 for kids/Seniors (65+). While it might be boring if kids are too young, there is lots of dinosaur bones that can be touched, and a few other interactive exhibits. If you looked at every exhibit and read everything it would probably take about 45 minutes to see everything. It is very impressive for being a museum on a college campus. Lots of information on the history of the land that is Wisconsin but from an Earth Science spin so what happened billions of years ago to even more recent meteor landings. It is right next to the planetarium so you can easily see both in an afternoon if you wished to do so. There is also a little gift shop if you wanted to get a little trinket. Come check out this place if you need something to do on a rainy day and want to learn a little about the Earth.

Visited on a Monday with a 5 and 3 year old and an 11 month old. They had a total blast! There were…read moreso many different things for them to do and it's wasn't crazy busy! The workers were attentive and the place looked cleaned and well laid out! Will definitely be back!

We love touring the Children's Museums in Wisconsin. Today,…read moreWe decided to drive the hour and 15 minutes to go to the one in Stevens point, since we had never been there before. There were definite pros and cons. First the Pros: -It was only $5 a person to get in. -Parking around the area is free. -Everything is on one level, and that makes it easy to keep track of your kids. -The exhibits are different than the other museums. -The art area has so much to do, creatively is endless with all the different supplies available. (Paper, paint, tissue paper, cardboard cones, cardboard tubes, paper clips, yarn, plastic pieces, buttons, puzzle pieces... etc) Now the cons: -The super fun music instruments area will give you a migraine from kids constantly beating the drums. -The bathrooms were very dirty, as was the bubbler drinking fountain... the water also tasted super metallic. -The cleanliness of the whole place was actually lacking in every area. The floors appeared to have not been mopped in...forever. -The dental center that we were excited to play with was the most disappointing. Most things were broken, and there weren't any tools or anything to incorporate during play. -The vet area is a great concept but also lacked so much. -Staff was not overly friendly, as with other places...they weren't mean or anything, but they just all seemed very bored. My boys favorite parts were the "healthy heroes" And the Newscaster studio (which even the newscaster area could have been revamped to make it even better. My favorite part was the art station. We actually spent an hour and a half in there creating our crafts and masterpieces. So all in all, we enjoyed our time here. We wish things were fixed up, cleaned, and had accessories added to the exhibits, but for a small town children's museum, it was a good way to spend a day. Not one of our favorites tho, by any means.

We were lucky enough to be in town right when the USS Cobia had returned from dry dock so we…read moredecided to go to the maritime museum to check the sub and museum out. The city has a rich maritime history so the city is a perfect setting for this museum. Lots of well-curated exhibits house a ton of interesting stories and information. You can easily spend a full day if you really wanted to immerse yourself deeply into everything that they have to offer. Our family was there for about 4 hours and was able to tour the submarine as well as check out all of the museum. Great exhibits for all ages. My kids had fun looking at the model ships and playing in the water play area. We had to practically pull our youngest one out of the area because he didn't want to leave, ha! Prices for admission were comparable to other museums and events that we did in town and that included the guided sub tour. I'm glad we stopped!

More interesting than expected. We spent over two hours touring this place and we did not even do…read morethe sub (we've been in subs in other towns & museums). We were on our way to Door County and decided to take the longer way up since none of us had ever been to Manitowoc. We saw this place in the tour books and knew we had to stop. At first the price seemed a bit high even without the sub tour but in the end it was well worth it. The displays hit on a wide variety of maritime topics not just the subs that were built locally during WWII. I really learned a lot including about all of the shipwrecks in nearby Lake Michigan. I really liked the display of old outboard motors. Overall a great experience.

The one thing that does stink about this place is there are toooo many reading corners. I love that in a museum but there are like four areas on the second floor all right next to eachother and this has potential for other exhibits. Although really looking forward to the water exhibit they are building! I've also seen so much progress in this place since moving here two years ago! Third floor is def where we spend most of our time. Again made for more little kids. Older kids would get bored fast!

This place was wonderful!…read more It has multiple floors of fun - from slides to a fire truck to a farm for toddlers, there is plenty to see and do. This could easily keep children busy for hours and aside from the stairs, it's pretty well contained so kids can play without getting into dangerous situations. Well worth a rainy day visit.
