The rotating exhibits at the Quincy Art Center are thoughtfully curated and well-presented. Signage clearly explains the art and offers background information on the artists as well.

Parking is easy and on the grounds, which are well-landscaped and pleasant to stroll through.

The entire space is covered in clean carpeting and is great for crawlers. They maintain an online calendar showing when field trips will be coming, so you can plan around that if you want to avoid crowds. We were here at the same time as a small field trip and there was still plenty of space for all. The unisex restrooms are clean and feature excellent changing facilities. There is also an art room and an upstairs room with changing themes. The upstairs space is utilized as the cake space for birthday parties. Overall, this is a lovely, affordable place to bring your young child for the day.

QCM is just getting started and this review is for their location on Washington square. I hope to come back soon and update this review for their permanent location, a few blocks away, that's being established right now.  This children's museum is almost everything my kid hopes for in a children's museum. We've been to many- all across the US, and the exhibits here compare in quality and design. The main floor exhibits include a science area, art area, and role play areas (fire station, vet clinic, grocery store, etc). The upstairs area has rotating exhibits which have included a construction area, farm area, and arctic area. They renovate that area every few months which keeps the museum fresh, new, and exciting. On the main floor there is also a dedicates baby play space with items for kids under 2. My 6-year-old and 1-year-old could spend all day, every day here. They absolutely love it. The entire establishment is very clean and extremely well-maintained. All toys and exhibits are checked by staff regularly and appropriately organized and thoroughly washed. I have never found broken pieces or dirt/ grime/ grease in any area. There are 2 large gender neutral bathrooms. Both have changing tables with spare wipes and stepping stools next to the sinks.  The staff and volunteers are friendly and helpful. Admission prices are the cheapest of any kid play place in Quincy. You can also find QCM bringing rotating exhibits to public events, local schools, and local libraries. They are very involved in the community and have begun offering additional services that help educate the public on child development as well. Honestly, I cannot speak more highly about this place. Quincy is so very lucky to have the Quincy Children's Museum as a part of our community. My family will be supporting them for the decades to come- as we truly are so so grateful for all they offer our kids.

You can schedule a tour outside of those hours by visiting their website. There's no set fee for entry but they do ask for donations. The house itself is beautiful, it's actually the oldest brick house in Quincy! When you start the tour, there is a 15 minute video to watch that gives you the history of Dr Eel and the amazing things he accomplished. After watching the video, you are free to tour the house on your own. There are several large informational boards upstairs to read but you can otherwise get through the house in well under an hour.
