Clean and totally amazing for my 3 and 5 year old grandchildren SO much fun. So much interaction Water room, train room , outdoor space, fishing , acting, laundry/ironing and my 3 year old grandson LOVED the clear suction tube with the scarf- he would have done it for 30 min !!! It is expensive but I will go again and it is a 30 min drive for me. read more

My goodness guys this place is absolutely incredible! We could be here for hours and hours and still not run out of things to do. On this particular day my son only wanted to do the wood workshop area and each session is only 15 minutes, so my son wanted to keep going to the class to finish his robot and the wonderful miss leah was so awesome and considerate. She held his wood that he already had been working on to the side so we could come to the class to finish and as if that wasn't enough she even helped us cut wood and make it. She was so kind and considerate, it took our already incredible visit to the next level. Shes an absolute gem and we look forward to our next trip! read more

fun me and my family loved it my fav was the tube with scarfs so so so fun and the servize was fantastic great

My toddler had a great time at this museum. I suggest to arrive right when they open because it was empty on a Saturday morning and we had a few hours with only a few people around. The new expansion area was beautiful! I couldn't stop looking around, so many beautiful details about this place. My toddler's favorite areas were the water area & "restaurant" area. They also have a huge, cool outdoor playground on the 2nd floor. I just wish my toddler could do more, she's only 2. Maybe we'll return in a few years. Definitely recommend a visit! read more

My 4 year old loves it here and so do we . I drive 45 mins plus each way and she's totally fine with it when going there ... I think that says everything read more

Imagine Children's Museum is a great place for kids to learn by free and guided play. They have huge space distributed in 3 levels with a lot of exhibits and play stations. They have something for kids at every age group. Young kids will surely enjoy the ground floor - that's were they have more age appropriate play structures available. Second floor is more suited for bigger kids - the attractions give more scientific aspect to various machines in the real world. They have an open terrace play structure. Suited for kids from different age groups. They have maintained this place so well. There were sanitizing stations everywhere, bathrooms are clean and the play stations are well maintained. No crowd management is there though. Sometimes kids have yo wait for a very long time to get a turn and young kids get easily irritated with that. They charge $22 for age 1 and above. Felt that's a little too expensive. Though they have membership options, for a one time visitor, it's a little too much. And don't think you can spend more than 3-4 hrs there. That's the only negative about this place. read more

We stopped at the Imagine Children's Museum yesterday and my son had the best time (and honestly, so did I)! So many fun things to do. We will definitely be back! read more

My 2 year old enjoys playing here and we will surely come again. It's large and full of stuff to explore. Tree house with ropes pathways are amazing and even adults can walk through them. Water play section. Bus, airplane, tractor and train stations. Animal farm, laundry, Italian restaurant. All kinds of pretend to play. Also art studios and other rooms that we could fit in our 2 hour schedule. A cafe upstairs to have some light snacks. The price is a bit high, $22 per person who are older than 1 year. Many other children museum membership can have 25% off. So two parents and a kid with other membership will be $49.5. A little bit far from Seattle or the east side, especially if you live relatively south. read more

The $22 pp cost would be worth it depending on the age of the child. Huge space with a lot of different exhibits to explore which is great, but my 2 year old son really just cared for like 3 of them. We went on a Saturday and it was very very very busy and kids crying over toys. A bit of a headache. I would prefer to just go to Kids Quest in Bellevue and pay $14 and get the same amount of play for my son with less of a crowd. read more

A great place for kids. Purchased a family fun pass so both named parents can attend with child. Plenty to do here, 2 levels with an outside level as well. Educational aspects have also been added. Restrooms onsite. Toy shop onsite. Benches around the museum for seating. Adult supervision recommended as slippery areas, various choking hazards, fall hazards, water hazards, stairs and trip hazards. read more

Such a fun place for kids and adult to learn about the Seattle area. Very interactive, fun detailed activities for kids and it was clean. They also, have a gift shop to purchase title gifts and they have an outdoor park that is connected to the upstairs. A definite go to place for a rainy day. read more

I've been to a number of Children's Museums and this one is really great! It is recently expanded with full two floors of exhibits along with a third floor that is a meeting eating area they also have an outside play area your child will easily want to spend two to three hours here the first time you come. They have a water area, trains, art, movie making, an airplane, music, aquarium, games, drawing, a workshop and more. The annual memberships are well worth the price we've been a number of times and I highly recommend it. read more

10/10! We got a membership for my 1 year old in March. Since then we have been coming maybe twice a month and he is 18 Months now and I can see how much he has learned from Imagine Childrens Museum. I wish I had more pictures to share, but every part of the museum gives kids exposure to something "real life". My son goes to the "pig pen" and feeds the pigs bottles and puts the bottles away so gently (for a one year old watching this visit after visit was so cool because first visit he was so confused). They remodeled and expanded in August and my membership is so much more worth it now! They have such a realistic campfire area to roast marshmallows and hot dogs. I just enjoy going and seeing my son interact with other kids and see him share and help kids. This place is also so clean and there is always staff members all over the place to monitor and be available. read more

The space is big , very clean and well staffed. I bought tickets online for the 11am time slot on a Saturday and it was pretty packed. Most of the area requires the parents to be near their kids but many kids were unattended. They have a nice downstairs area where you can eat snacks and drink, they don't have any food you can purchase though. I want to try this place again on a weekday, but overall a nice play to the take the kiddos on a rainy day. read more

Wow! The grandchildren loved it! I highly recommend for toddlers & elementary School aged children. Books to read, glow in the dark room, water stations with cool contraptions, toddler play area, rooftop playground and much more. They also have a area to eat so pack a lunch and let the kids run a muck! Lol have fun and let their imagination take over. read more

Only one less star for the fact that it would be nice to change up some of the areas a little more often! But I will say this place is amazing and has so much to offer. We have been going since our daughter was one, and the yearly pass is totally worth it! I will say it would be nice if they didn't charge parents and children full price, the parents aren't there to play they are there to watch their kids. Maybe a discounted price for parent?? Like I said we get the membership so it pays for itself after four trips! It can get pretty busy but there's usually some spaces you can find that don't feel too crowded. We will definitely keep returning! It's a favorite place of ours. read more

PLEASE be aware that they have all gender bathrooms and the baby changing table is NOT in a private area, which means men can see your baby while being changed. I walked in on a grown man with his pants down because he didn't lock the stall door. The stalls are like little rooms so there's no way of checking if someone is in there before opening the door. Might be a good idea to go in with your kids. I saw genitals that I didn't ask for. It was embarrassing and made me uncomfortable for the rest of our visit. read more

So much amazing, interactive fun for kids and adults. My granddaughter literally ran from one exhibit to another. We also went to the static electricity demonstration, which was fun & informative. There is a restaurant station, a wildlife rehab station, water works, a bus, a train, a theater, a tree house; really, just about anything you can imagine. It's geared toward kids but there is plenty of activities adults can do with the kids. What is most amazing is how absolutely clean it is. I watch the kids running and playing and touching, yet all the toys are clean, the floors are vacuumed and mopped, virtually all the toys are in great shape. The staff is friendly, helpful, and treat everyone respectfully. I am looking forward to going back again. read more

Great place for kids to explore. Lots of room to move around and touch everything. My 4 year old and 11 year old grandsons loved it. Great way to spend some hours on a gray northwest day. read more

Let me start off by saying: I'm grateful for the existence of this place. It's a wonderful place to go with your kids if you need something to fill a long day. It's also great for play dates when the weather doesn't favor an outdoor, park play date. The best time to go - HANDS DOWN - is Tuesday mornings. I give 4 stars because some of the times I have come, it's way too crowded and chaotic. This happened multiple times over summer when there were several different daycares coming in for field trips. Other than those times, we've had enjoyable and pleasant experiences for the most part. read more

It's unfortunate how down hill this place has gone, we use to love bringing our kids here. Place is dirty, customer service is a strong zero and the quality of area for the price it terrible. To top it off they have a bathroom that is for boys and girls but don't have a family bathroom. So if you need to change your infant they have it right out in the open for random men and women to watch your child. Next time we will go the extra 20 minutes to kids quest. read more

Fun place for kids to run around and play. The top part is outside and they have a large area for the kids to enjoy. The lower level has an area for toddlers as well as for bigger kids and the bottom floor has tables for eating. It's nice to go on a sunny day to utilize the rooftop read more

This is always a great place to take kids and have a blast! There's plenty of fun interactive activities that the kids will definitely enjoy! It's not the most affordable activity for kids but well worth it. Parking is extra ($3 for 0-3 hours, $8 for 3-10 hours/all day, $3 after 6pm). Admission is $10.70 per person. Kids 12 months and under are free. There are discounted admissions on specific days and times. If you wanted to check it out for free, they have FREE ADMISSIONS every 3rd Fridays from 5:30pm through 9pm. However, Only the main floor and basement are accessible, the rooftop is closed. On the main floor, gift shop, a veterinary hospital room, tree house, a room with books, a air system that blows out hanker coloful hankies to catch, a fire engine, train set, a dark room with glow in the dark platic sticks and magnetic peices, another room that captures your body outline into a big screen with different effects, a water play area, an enclosed toddler area for younger kids that can walk yet, a ping ball air suction/transportation section, a farm/barn section with a life sized tractor and some farm animals, and an airplane. On the rooftop, they have a huge playground with slides, monkey bars, tower, climbing wall, fossil section where you can dig up dinosaur bones, a huge piano, a drum section, and a safari vehicle to ride on. On the basement, they have more activities such as a construction room, cartoon corner, and an art studio room. I think they change up the usage of the room from time to time. The basement is also rented out for parties. It has a kitchen you can use with a refrigerator/freezer, microwave, oven and burner. There's also a private mens & womens restroom and an elevator. We've rented it out on a Friday night before from 5:30pm through 9pm at a very affordable prize and you get the whole place to yourself minus the rooftop access. We brought food in and the cake. It was well worth it! read more

The Imagine Children's Museum is a ton of fun. We've been taking our daughter there since she was five. She is now ten and still loves it. They offer various hands-on exhibits that help children learn while simultaneously using their minds and hands. The museum is somewhat similar to the Pacific Science Center but on a much smaller scale. I also feel that while the Pacific Science Center could cater to older kids, the Imagine Children's Museum caters more towards younger children (maybe age 11-12 at the oldest.) There is much for children to do, such as explore a large tree house, story time, have fun in a water exhibit, and on sunny days, run around in the upstairs playground. During school breaks, the museum offers various fun classes for kids (class schedule posted on their website). The admission is fairly reasonable. They also offer specials for military families (I believe they offer free admission to military families the first Sunday of the month.) They also offer free admission (they ask for donations- but not required) to the public every third Friday night of the month. If you attend any of these special events, you should be prepared to wait in line. The line could go around the corner, but often moves fairly fast. Last Friday, we attended the Free Friday event called Tooth-a-palooza. The event was wonderful. The museum did a great job educating kids on how important teeth care is. They offered free dental exams with dentists dressed in rainbow scrubs. They had a singer serenading kids with "teeth brushing" songs. There were even science experiments to teach kids how sugar affects their teeth. On a side note, the Tooth Fairy was even present to attract the interest of the younger kids. Parking is street parking. They do have a pay parking lot next door. But since the museum is located in downtown Everett, there is a ton of street parking. Another plus is that the museum is only one street away from Colby so lots of restaurant choices to fill your tummy after playing hard at the museum. Overall, great place for fun! read more

This place is so great for kids! Can't wait for the expansion! The only thing is, I wish the staff was a bit better. Most of them are nice, but I'm here basically every day. The front desk people are always the same, but never seem to recognize us. I know we aren't that important, but come on, it's been over 6 months now, 2-3 times a week...That being said, there are fun things to do, see, play, and build here. The membership works out to less than $20/month for the whole family. Totally worth it! read more

Stupid expensive. Like stupid. $22 PER PERSON. Why do I need pay $22 to watch my children play? For my husband and I alone it was $44.... Not even including our kids. Expect an expensive day. We live far away so after gas... yeah lol. Amazing facility for sure. I understand the hype. Don't appreciate the co-ed bathrooms. Not really a fan of changing my daughters diaper where grown men can walk right in and watch. I know a lot of other moms would feel the same. We spent a lot of time here and I kind of feel like I got my moneys worth.... Not completely though. also do not recommend for children under the age of 2. 2 is even a little young in my opinion! read more

My 2yr old could spend all day here! The train table and water station were his favorites. The train table was huge. He was SO excited! I ALWAYS save water rooms/areas for last because my island baby loves water. He is usually really good at saying "bye, water" and leaving but he did NOT want to leave this water room! The exploding balls thing in the middle of the room was super cool. There's even a toddler table so the smaller ones aren't bumping into the older kids. My kid thinks he a lot bigger than he is though, so the toddler table only entertained him for a few mins before he moved onto the big kid stuff. Parents were super attentive to their kids here and that made it super easy to let him explore. Everything was well kept and looked clean (I know looks are deceiving but some places are obviously dingy). The rooftop play area was amazing! He loved the dinosaur area. The outside xylophone was another thing he couldn't get enough of. Honestly, everything was great. Staff didn't hound you and your kid which was super nice. There were some missing parts to the instruments outside but that didn't deter my son from playing anyway. read more

My daughter loves this museum! I love how hands on all the exhibits are and it has so many fun features for kids of all ages. It's not only fun for kids but educational too. On the roof of this museum, there's a pretty big playground with slides, a small rock wall, a dinosaur dig, and musical instruments. I was so impressed I bought a family annual membership and we're going back again soon. read more

Our 1st visit was a total success and our almost 2.5yr old had such an amazing time especially with the trains and water area. Will definitely make a trip back up here soon. read more

We visited this week ended and while it's a wonderful place for 3-7 yro, right now it's a giant germ factory. With so many cool exhibits and items to play, it seems insurmountable to effectively clean everything. Parents beware and use your best judgement. Maybe in the future we can all enjoy this place once more. read more

I've been taking my little granddaughter here for years. It's one of our favorite "Grandma/grandkid" hang outs. The exhibits are ever changing, but one of the things we like the most is the rooftop play area and its beautiful view. There is so much to see and do in this relatively small building. Places to create art, play theater, music, fun ways to learn about physics, history, and so much more. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! This company only wants your money and does not care about you or your children as valued customers. They would rather stick you for an extra $50 over having you and your family return for a second visit. The customer service and responses from management there was particularly horrible. We booked a party for our daughter's second about 3 months in advance. About a week later we thought maybe this would be too high level for a 2 year old. We inquired with Jennifer if it was possible to cancel the reservation (we had already prepaid for everything which they require when booking). Jennifer responding saying that they do not cancel or refund but could reschedule within a year. At this point we decided to keep the reservation and give it a shot. The birthday day arrives and 30+ members of our family arrive there to find out that our party was in fact cancelled. Our family was there early to let their kids play and were unable to do so. Apparently Jennifer there decided to cancel our party, keep our money, and provide zero communication to us regarding her actions. We had family waiting outside with little ones unable to enter the activities. Again zero communication of cancelling our party nor did she seek our permission before doing so. Another manager was able to figure out a solution and get us a room after about 30 minutes, but by then family was agitated and our anxiety was through the roof. Also, they didn't give us the t-shirt for our daughter as is part of the deal. A week after the party, Jennifer called asking for more money because we apparently had a few extra guests over the limit and needed to pay another $50. I told her in lieu of her cancelling our party without consent from me and the hassle she caused our family, that this charge should be waived. Plus, as petty as it might be, no t-shirt. She refused, stating that when we asked about cancelling the party, even though their policy says they do not cancel or refund, that she would go ahead and cancel it - all the while not communicating her actions to us. This makes no sense and Jennifer is obviously in need of some customer service training. We are appalled by the experience and will not return. read more

Visited Imagine Children's Museum and it didn't disappoint. They have a toddler area for ages 1-3. Not many toys but awesome aquatic figures for them to climb on. It's more of a space for toddlers to meet one another and be social! I can't wait until our little one is big enough to enjoy the playground, on level 3, the arts and craft classes, lower level, and all the other awesome aspects of this facility! It's a safe place that allows your child to BE A CHILD! Staff was friendly and informative. I loved the little store attracted. We bought our little one some unique shark maracas and tambourine! He loves them! read more

My 5 year old said this was the best part of his vacation. He loved the outdoor playground and tree houses as well. It was quite busy as there were several school excursions. Bring your own lunch and eat it at the cafeteria as there weren't too many food options. Worth the $22 entry fee if you stay more than 2 hours. read more

My youngest is on the autistic spectrum and often times we find places that are sensory friendly very difficult to locate! When we first moved to the north Everett area the new construction and COVID made it unavailable. However, since reopening we are frequent flyers! So many hands on activities, awesome music sessions, plenty of sensory friendly spaces, clean and sanitized and for a reasonable fee. If you are low income on EBT there is a subsidized price point so it's very much available to anyone in the general public! Handicap accessible in all areas and a great place for socialization. One downside is I wish they would offer a more sensory friendly hour for noise sensitive children. My son does ok but I know many children with disabilities are probably excluded in being comfortable making it difficult for those families in need. Please consider a morning hour or two for quiet and low light play for children/adults with special needs! They also offer summer camps, youth programs and birthday party options that I can't wait for us to utilize! read more

My son still loves this place and the set up. I have to agree, but there front desk service has rubbed this mama the wrong way. Don't get me wrong, we will probably still finish out our membership, but the rude entitled, uninformed front desk has to take a chill pill! We came in today for our God sons birthday party. I wanted to use my own membership so it wouldn't count against her guest count. I read the website first, looked at any birthday party info I could find and no where did it list that members could not use their memberships to attend others parties! I came with my son, give my card and the guy at the front asked if I was part of a party and I said yes, and that I couldn't use my membership. Excuse me? He said that if I wanted to come in using my own membership, that I could not go into the party room with the other guests and that I could not bring in my birthday present, it was not allowed and stated on their website and birthday info. I told him I checked before hand and didn't see it stated anywhere. He was very rude and persistent so I told him to look it up online and show me, HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING stating that policy. Here's the thing. I'm not a rule breaker or want to cause a scene, but to talk to me in that tone and say that my son or I couldn't go in the party room or could not go in with a gift was just rude and embarrassing. It's a sunny Saturday and the place is about 1/4 full compared to busy days. Could he have just warned me and let me go, yes. Did he have to enforce a policy that isn't written anywhere on their site or front desk, probably not. Was he being rude and unnecessary, yes! Will I have my sons birthday party here, no way Jose! This is a kids play area and a birthday party for heavens sake, not an all inclusive resort! read more

Today is my little girl's 3rd birthday. As any mother, I'm getting emotional thinking about how fast she is growing.... 3 years might not mean a whole lot to us adults, but to a child, it's monumental. Showed up right when they opened so it wasn't too busy. When we went into the museum we were immediately blown away by all there was to see and do. As a mom, I loved that the museum has handy rooms for hanging up coats, a room for getting your kids and all their stuff together, or sitting for a snack or whatever you need to do. There was lots of stroller parking (no strollers allowed in the play areas) and everything was well organized. This one has 3 levels of activities for the kids including a rooftop jungle gym and dinosaur dig, construction zone, craft room, private party rooms.  Some of the exhibits include lots of pretend play for the kids including a stage area, vet clinic, pizza parlor, animal farm, airplane ride, train table, waterworks, soft climb-fire engine playroom, blacklight room, put scarves into suction tubes and follow them up and around different paths. It is worth the admission price for the hours of amusement on your children's face. Exhibits are designed for children ages 1-12. This museum is interesting from the moment we walk in. The outdoor play area on the roof is a blast on nice days, and the water play indoors is perfect for rainy days. Best Kids Museum I have ever been to. The drive to Everett from Seattle was about 45 minutes with no traffic on a Saturday mid-morning. It makes the 45 minute drive worth it. The facility is clean and the employees are very helpful. My girls have such a great time here, I only wish we lived closer. Even parking was cheap since it was only $3 for three hours and was right next to the museum. I would recommend getting a family pass if you live in the area or stop in for an afternoon if you are traveling in the area with small children. My girls were thrilled and keep asking to go back. We will definitely be heading back to this museum again in the future.  I can't say enough good things about it! My girls had a blast it was fun too for the parents (if you are young at heart) - totally worth it. I highly recommend this children's museum.

This place really is amazing! If you have little kids, this place is a goldmine of time-consuming energy-wasting fun! Great place with activities, multiple varied levels of different things to do, and great for a wide range of ages, I would imagine (my daughter is 20 months, so I haven't paid a huge amount of attention to the things outside her interests yet). There are three levels of fun here. The top level is at the roof, outdoor, and is amazing. It took a few times before we even discovered this part! This is for a little older children with a huge play area, musical interactive percussive stations, and a lot of open space! Below that, there is the main level, which has a lot to offer. A mock airplane where kids can be passengers, pilots, baggage handlers. Other areas where there are performers, water activities (not full-immersion, but playing with things in/around water), a mini-floor with a library, and more! Downstairs, I have only been once, but if I remember correctly, it was an area for group parties including food there. This is far and beyond the Seattle Center Children's Museum, a real treat for the little ones! read more

We are now on year two of our membership and all three kids love it! The staff is super sweet. I had an issue with my membership once and they were awesome in getting it resolved and following up with me. I have to please please ask though, if you bring your kid here to play. LEAVE THEM ALONE. I was in the vet thing watching my 18 month old, or however old he is, do his thing... but he could barely move because so many moms were in there trying to engage their children and police every activity. Calm down Karen, if he wants to play with you, he will communicate that. My kid can't play on the register with your fat butt in his face. Just back up and make sure your kid doesn't bite anyone. I love playing with my boys, but shit, if I can get 5 minutes of my baby not screaming for me, I'm down with that! I do wish they served alcohol. Maybe they can look in to that? read more
