Party rate was a flat rate for two hours and not a pay per child model like other places. I appreciate the blending of play with technology; dressing up and seeing onself in different backgrounds given the green stream and scanning dinosaur drawings into a landscape. I hope this museum continues to grow and have more for older kids to play, explore and learn. The bathroom situation- a single which requires a code, is a bit lacking.

Two BIG thumbs up to the Discover! Children's Museum in Centralia. Not to be confused with the…read moreother review that's posted on this site, this Children's Museum is located at 415 N. Pearl Street in Centralia and they are open Wednesday - Sunday from 10:00am - 5:00pm (with the last admission at 4:15pm). Admission is $10/person. Now ... onto the review. My two boys love going here -- so much so, that we purchased a membership that has already paid for itself! We live in Centralia and had driven up to the children's museum in Olympia; and while that one is much, much bigger, it's wonderful to have a smaller version right here in town. The kids literally spend hours playing here and there's plenty to keep them engaged and having fun. Their favorites are the super large Wooden Train Layout and the massive collection of Legos! They go back and forth between those two centers and love imagining and building. Other play learning centers include a child-sized grocery store, veterinarian office, and TV camera station that superimposes the kids on a variety of backgrounds. There also are lots of dress up costumes to complete the scene. Additionally, there is a detailed science station complete with child-sized lab and a dinosaur dig table! Inside a barn-like structure, the kiddos can play a series of games in which the "keyboard" or controls are displayed on the floor and they need to step on images to play. Up front, there is a smaller toddler sized space with cushions and play things; and in the back there is a music room with a piano, percussion, and other instruments. The museum also hosts weekly Wacky Science Wednesdays, in which the kids can be a part of highly engaging learning activities that focus on a variety of science topics. Check out their website for more details and a list of events. Lastly, the staff are very friendly and focused on fun for the kids. Parking and accessibility is totally easy and they even offer rentals for family celebrations, homeschool groups, and birthday parties! One thing to note ... they do not allow food inside, so you'll need to head out for snacks or lunch. But, your admission is good for the day, so you can come back after eating. :-) I highly recommend the Discover! Children's Museum in Centralia! You won't regret it.

We made a last minute reservation as we were driving from Milwaukie all the way to Hillsboro. Our original plans didn't work out but wanted to give my 16 month old a fun day anyway. From the second we walked in we were greeted with genuine enthusiasm for being there. I love the layout as I can watch him from anywhere. There was so much for him to do (even though he was at the train table 80% of the time!) and it was all SO cute! I don't know if we just got lucky, but every other parent/caretaker was extremely kind as well. Also, they give out a free toy and snack on the way out which definitely helped with the heartbreak of leaving. We will definitely be back a bazillion more times!

I truly didn't look at Yelp before buying tickets to the museum and a showing of the planetarium. My fiancé and I finished walking the museum in 30 minutes because it was full of children from camp. We weren't going to play or interact with the museums when children were there and it was sciences we already knew. I was saddened thinking it was a museum for adults. In addition, we absolutely bought the wrong tickets for the planetarium. We ended up at a KPOP Delon Hunters Laser Show. We didn't know what to expect. Whoever made the show did an exceptional job, but we wanted to see something that completely encompasses the entire planetarium. Ultimately, perfect for children. Not adults. The 4 stars is that it is still a great museum.... For children.

Play Street Museum is located in a nice shopping center with plenty of parking. When we arrived, we were greeted and welcomed by the employees. It is a shoe-free place so make sure you're prepared to wear socks. I was impressed by the entire setup of Play Street Museum. It is very clean, accessible for all ages, and there is a variety of play options. The setup makes it easy to move around to each area. There is an airplane that has different realistic airplane sounds. There is a food/kitchen area, a veterinarian office, a home space with a kitchen and babies, an outer-space section, an ice cream truck, tables with different activities like drawing, sorting, building, and a large lego table. There is so much imaginative play options. All of the toys were clean and seemed new. There is also options to add extra activities like make your own slime, paint pottery, and dye a hat or apron. Play Street Museum also offers to host parties. We loved our hour and a half of play time at this awesome spot! At the end of your visit, the kids get to pick out a snack.
