    It would be better if they sporadically went and sanitized items. Especially in the toddler room…read moreinstead of just collecting items throughout the day. Some areas are better than others. Some have a ton of toys to play with, and some have absolutely nothing in the area. It's a good place if you have a toddler and want them to run around and burn some energy off

    I'm honestly shocked this place has any good reviews. It was so dirty and all the toys and displays…read morewere old and dingy. In the toddler room, all the plastic toys had no batteries. Everything looked dirty and ancient. The reading area was so dingy my friend said "looks like we are about to get bed bugs." There was a school group absolutely destroying the place when we arrived in the display areas. Not a single item was where it belonged (all the food in the grocery area, the mail in the mail area, etc was wrecked). The children were running completely wild with zero supervision while the few chaperones stood in a different room and didn't put a single thing back where it belonged. I can't believe I paid $20 for this and our kids didn't really enjoy it. My toddler who barely talks said "messy, clean up." The hand sanitizers didn't have actual canisters of hand sanitizer, they were empty. Good thing I brought my own. Place looked like a germ factory. Go to Marbles or Rockingham for a good children's play space/museum.

    We've had a great time every time we visit. Our family was…read moregifted a membership for Christmas and have attended the new year's noon event and the kids Olympics, along with a weekday visit, so far. The events are heavily discounted for members, which we love. The employees are great and there's not many people there during the weekday in the winter, anyway. This is a smaller museum, so it's great for our almost 4 year old. There's a little outdoor area with a few things. We love the school bus. Fun place to visit when the weather isn't great.

    WOW! 10/10 fun to be had here!! If you live in the area or plan to visit in the future and have…read morelittles along with you then this is a must stop for sure! Truly 3 stories of endless amounts of hands-on, sensory fulfilling fun. So much to learn here and each room has a completely different theme including an entire dentist office (with a dental chair and life size toothbrushes and teeth!), an incredible treehouse and play kitchen, a huge boat/ship and aquatic area, a veterinary office featuring many stuffed animal dogs and everything you'd see in a vets office including dress up costumes, and so much more! We spent a couple of hours here and honestly didn't think my toddler would make it that long, but that goes to show how epic this place is! Even if you have an early walker like my little babe, I highly recommend! There's something for all ages here and a great way to get out of the house and stay off the screens!
