I took my son to the Miami Children's Museum for the first time during the Dr. Seuss Birthday event, and we had the best time. The museum has so many engaging sections that encourage both play and creativity. The Dr. Seuss story time and activities were so good. We loved the Green Eggs & Ham show. There's truly so much to do. We spent about 4 hours there, and my son was entertained the entire time. His favorite areas were the music section and the sock skating activity, but every part of the museum was enjoyable. It's a fantastic place for kids and a great way to spend the day together as a family. read more

My first time visiting Miami Children's Museum today and I loved how they incorporate local elements into the museum. Most of the upstairs space is centered around the Port of Miami and cruise ships. The first floor has classes, a fishing area, Publix grocery store, building blocks and fire station, among other play spaces. It's easy to spend at least half a day here. There's a Subway on site and I believe that's the only food option. There was a fire alarm while we were there so we had to evacuate the museum wait outside for about half an hour, but the staff were so creative and thoughtful in keeping everyone entertained with games and music. Bathrooms are large and kid friendly. Overall very well designed museum. read more

This museum is constantly hosting free event and the staff is very kid friendly, I highly recommend the pirate show my little one loved him. The only downfall is it's very very small. read more

When I arrived, they were doing construction and I was rerouted to the entrance by Subway. The exhibits were enjoyable and this time around, I saw some new things I didn't before. However, they didn't have shows until way later in the day. Those are fun so it would be amazing if they were to have a show at noon. Nonetheless, the exhibits were still fun. read more

I had guests from out of town and thought Miami Children's Museum would be a fun activity for their 6 years old girl, and I was not wrong. The Museum has vibrant colors, playgrounds and full of fun activities where the child can have fun for a couple of hours. I will keep this on the must to do list of activities when I have guests out to town with kids. They will appreciate it. read more

Such a neat fully immersive and interactive museum. There are so many hands on activities for the kids to do and a wide variety of occupations highlighted throughout. Our 4 year old loved it and was able to roam around independently with a watchful eye. The weekends are busy and I wish we would have gone on the sensory friendly Saturday because it is a bit overwhelming and overstimulating If you're the least bit sensitive or neurodivergent. Nonetheless I would definitely recommend this place and would totally get a membership if we lived here. read more

Miami Children's Museum is super cute and a great spot for kids. The exhibits are well thought out, interactive, and perfect for different age groups. It's a good size -- big enough to spend a couple of hours without feeling overwhelming. Bonus: my bank offers free museum passes once a month, so we got in at no cost. The A/C was a lifesaver, and everything was clean and well maintained. The only thing that made me nervous was the railing on the second floor. It's very high up (20-40 feet by my guess), and if you have little ones who like to climb, you'll definitely be keeping a close eye on them. Overall, a beautiful museum and a fun, educational outing for families. We'll be back. read more

Decided to take the grandkids on the weekend. This was our first time and we had such a wonderful time. They have different prices based on whether you are a Florida resident, a Miami Dade resident, or a Veteran, etc. which are interesting options. The museum has a lot of play make-believe areas. as well as sensory targetted areas and quiet rooms. staff was attentive, friendly, and professional. To eat they only have a subway which is overpriced if you go by regular subways on the outside. They have plenty of outdoor seating, and employees were rude and barely spoke English so got upset if you did not speak Spanish. not the nicest at all for a place that receives many tourists.. The museum is not big but it is fun to spend a few hours with the kids, they also have a gift shop if you want to buy souvenirs. read more

Our family enjoyed the children's museum located on Watson Island Park in Miami. The fee is a bit expensive at $26, $18 for Florida residence, and free for children under 12 months. Parking fee is $2 an hour. They offer many exhibits and educational activities for the kids. We spent about three hours at the museum. They do a have a gift shop and a Subway sandwich restaurant. They also have an outdoor picnic area. read more

This is a great place to bring the kids if you're feeling tired! The exhibits are stimulating and educational for - in my experience - age 5 and under. read more

We love the children's museum The shows are great and the haunted house/sock skating are so much fun for the kids Some exhibits need to be improved upon. There should be a microphone in the karaoke, the BiG piano doesn't work well, generally speaking the whole music/art section needs a major overhaul The boats haven't worked well since we started coming either Story time and dance parties are our favorite and should be more often Even with its flaws, we still love the children's museum and visit once a week read more

This museum is very interactive! Here are some tips to ensure you and your family have a good time. - It's very interactive, meaning it's for kids and adults to bond over the different activities/rooms. If you have one child, be prepared to engage with them until they feel comfortable possibly joining other kids. No staff members are watching every room or every child (which shouldn't be their responsibility). - If you're taking your children to this museum, ensure you are watching your child. Depending on their age there are many rooms where objects can be thrown. - For food, there is only a subway. So you can eat before coming to this museum or take some snacks with you. - They have sensory book-bags for kids who become overstimulated with sounds, a lot of people, etc -You will need to pay for parking. They use an app, you pay per hour. This museum is so colorful and can be a learning experience for younger children. read more

Third Friday on every month entrance is F R E E!! Yes, FREEEE!!!! great entertainment for kids and family. There is so much to do at this place, lots of interactive activities for the kiddos. They want to role play Doctor? Police? Veterinarian? these are all here!!! Plus much more exhibitions that explain how many things work, not that they will have their FULL attention. But some displays are very cool, like the coloring of sea animals and inputting them into the wall through a screen shot!!! Slides, animals, sounds, ships, cargo ships, grocery shopping, testing your fitness plus much more! Remember it is FREE every 3rd Friday of the month! read more

I'm so conflicted about this review because I think this museum can have great potential! Our 1 year old enjoyed his time but so many things could be improved/changed here Pros: - Cool exhibits - Friendly staff members -Clean bathrooms -Dr Seuss area with books for children to whine down -Different themed events throughout the year - Plenty of hand sanitizer stations all in working order Cons/things to be improved: - From the moment we entered until the moment we left we were all sweating! It was hotter inside than it was outside, it honestly makes me not want to go back at all - Some toys were out of order - Parking is not free, even if you're a member. - There's no cafeteria or place indoors where you can eat your food other than a tiny Subway. I can't imagine going during the summer months and having to not only bring a packed launch but having to eat it in the Scorching heat outside with no fans/ shaded area! - A covered splash pad/zone area would be incredible and little ones would go crazy for it - Earlier opening times. By 10am we've already lived 3 lives with our son and other family with kids agree read more

I had been wanting to go here based on pictures of the museum. However it's only nice in pictures. There's NO attendants at the stations meaning when the kids are done playing with materials and they just leave them thrown somewhere, when the next child comes in to play there's no materials left. For example, the mini grocery store had almost no food in the market because it was thrown elsewhere. The Peanuts exhibit also had no materials as shown in the picture. When I told an attendant that the exhibits were disorganized and that there was only two crayons for the kids, she picked up the broken tiny pieces and counted saying "oh one two three four, I see more than two." I said "okay... well it needs to have materials at the stations and the other stations are also missing materials." She replied with "is there a problem?" I said "yes. This really isn't worth the price if kids can't truly experience it." To which she said "you're free to leave and get a refund." Super rude. The WHOLE ship area where kids can fish with the magnetic rods was FILLED with mold and disgusting water. I don't think they ever clean this place. My nephew got hand, foot, mouth disease after leaving this place. I got a stomach virus. DO NOT RECOMMEND. ZEST POOL FOR GERMS AND BACTERIA. read more

Half of the exhibits didn't work. For the price, a family of three entry & snacks, was over $100. Maintain your displays!

Such a cute museum to take the kiddos in the weekend. Came in for the first time with my boys 4-9 and we had a great time. We spent about 3 hours and change including breaks and lunch. They have several prices based on if you are a Florida resident and or a Miami Dade resident. Also veterans are free and up to 4 guest for a discount. The museum is heavily targeted to little ones from 2 to maybe 7 with a lot of play pretend areas. The museum staff was attentive and professional. They had a small Lion guard exhibit which was very cute. To eat they only have a subway which is marked up in price. And they do also serve personal pizzas. They don't allow strollers in the subway and they will ask you to take it outside. They have plenty of outdoor sitting but in the summer it might not be ideal to eat in the heat with a little one. Their employees were also not the nicest. It was a very cute museum, but with the Miami traffic might not be ideal for some. read more

We did go on a weekend so I understand being busy but how about controlling how many are admitted to an area at a time? The place was pure chaos, reminded me of a children's version of a haunted house more than a museum. Zero wholesome/family or learning vibes. Welcome to the third world kids! read more

I just finished a year membership here ao feel I have some good insight. This place is overall nice and my toddler had a lot of fun here this year. They do various events which are worth attending and loved that they always had a craft upstairs. Downsides - no benches anywhere! My kid wants to stay at one activity for ages and there's no place for me to sit which is very frustrating when I had to nurse or brought a grandparent. GET BENCHES read more

My kid loves this museum, she has so much fun every time we go! There's so much to do, so many fun learning/interactive sections - our favorite are: the children's Publix where they get to go shopping and ring each other out, the big building blocks area, the fishing section by the boats, the music room with the big floor piano/key board and of course the arts and crafts room. It's almost impossible to do it all in one day! Wish they did have better lunch options but subway isn't all that bad-- they just run out of food options in there fast. The gift store at the end has great toys too. Hands down best museum for kids in all of miami! read more

We went to the museum a little while ago but we had a great time. Even though they have their own parking lot, you still need to pay to park. We bought advanced tickets, which helped avoid the lines and allowed us in to pick the exhibit we wanted to see first before it got busier. We saw the Ninja Turtles exhibit and my son loved it! The rest of the museum was great as well and we thoroughly enjoyed it. There is even an outdoor playground in the middle of the museum. However, the doors were locked and a bunch of us were stuck outside waiting for anyone to open the doors. The only real disappointment was that the museum store only had very expensive collectibles and not really any reasonable toys to purchase. However, plan to spend a solid 90 minutes with all the exhibits. We look forward to returning. read more

We finally made a trip here after recommendations from friends. The drive is not easy from Broward because it's a very high traffic area. The parking and admissions process was super easy. They have a lot of very cute exhibits. The Publix was one of my daughter's favorites, where they can really check out and pay for the groceries. The veterinarian station was super cute, where you can care for the animals, the art room, the music room, and we even sang in the karaoke room. The prices are very reasonable for Florida residents $16 and kids are free! We ate at the subway and our experience there was not the greatest. The staff there was very unfriendly and after we waited in a long line, we were then told they didn't have pizza. So, that was a disappointing experience. All in all, I think it is a fun place and worth the visit. read more

It's not big at all. Went with my cousins and our babies and it's nice and there's lot to do but they definitely need to do better with keeping it organized and clean. It's cute and for small kids it can be entertaining. The winter in wonderland was nice cause you can put on socks and slide around as if it was ice skating. read more

You'll definitely love the children's museum and so will your little ones ! They have a different room filled with fun activities for your kids to play with , from construction, to supermarket, children's hospital, so you can definitely have a fun day with them. The only thing we didn't like about it was the heat, the air conditioning was definitely low! I would also say they need a few more food options for adults and kids, since the only place we found was a subway . read more

Two words: SIMPLY AMAZING Some more words: Such a great place for 1-3 year olds! Our little one had such an incredible time. This was the most engaged we've seen him with his surroundings. Highly recommend if you are in the local area or S FL area. I wish they had some better food options (besides subway) but other than that- the people there were friendly. The things were relatively clean considering it was the holidays and is generally catered to children. Worth the resident cost. Parking was easy, short walk across. Stroller friendly. Must visit if in the area!! read more

It's a cute place for kids especially the publix supermarket and Vet area. My daughter had a blast. Not the greatest value especially if your a non-florida resident. Don't plan a whole day, we went through everything in about an hour and a half. read more

This museum is just okay. I have been to a few in different cities and this one falls short compared to those. Every exhibit is a giant advertisement for the company that sponsors it. It is more about promoting their brand than having activities the kids will actually enjoy. The Carnival exhibit is the worst one as it is a big waste of space with not much for the kids to do. The museum hasn't really changed since it opened 15+ years ago so once you have been once, there is really no reason to return. There is also nothing to do on the outside while many museums have exhibits/ activities outside as well. Ft. Lauderdale has a large interactive playground. Denver has a large water feature kids can play in as well as a giant pirate ship playground. No reason this museum couldn't add outdoor features considering our year round good weather. Overall just an okay kids museum. It looks huge on the outside but not much to do on the inside that would warrant admission pricing. read more

My brother and his family (wife and two kids) visited Miami and we had a blast playing at the Miami Children's Museum #bubblyaunty It was a fantastic day of fun and learning. They've got an array of sensory toys and numerous pretend play stations that kept the kids entertained for hours. The option of two sessions, one in the AM and one in the PM, with a lunch break in between, makes it flexible for families. We went to the morning one and it wasn't too packed, though it was the weekend. They also have special quiet rooms created specifically for children with autism, sensory processing disorders, global developmental delays, and other special needs to enjoy with their families. The only downside was that the outdoor playground was under construction during our visit, but honestly, it was quite hot, so we didn't mind staying indoors. Overall, it's a fantastic place for a family outing filled with interactive and imaginative play. We can't wait to return when the weather cools down to explore the outdoor areas too! #bubblytip: Bring plenty of snacks as it appears they only have a Subway there... read more

I hadn't been to the Children's Museum in years until a friend of mine suggested we take our boys. We pre-purchased the tickets online and chose a time slot of 1-3 PM. I loved the idea of picking a time slot because it allows families to come in shifts and doesn't overcrowd the museum at once. Also, as a Florida resident we were able to get a discount which helped save us some money. My friend mistakingly purchased her tickets for a different day and the front desk accommodated a date change extremely quickly and we were able to begin our day without any problems. The museum is filled with different rooms of hands-on activities for kids like "fishing", building blocks, coloring, etc. My favorite part of these rooms is that most are sponsored or at least represented by Miami-based businesses such as the children's hospital for the ambulance and operation game, a section for Britto and the Port of Miami which had an area among others. Even the exercise area had a healthy choices bicycle riding experience that allows you to bike ride through different areas in Miami (super cute). I'm always grossed out by museums and interactive places because they always seem dirty to me but the Children's Museum was organized and not dirty at all. What a relief. And because of the shifts in time I never felt like an area was too overcrowded to enjoy. Overall the museum was a great way to spend the day and our boys had a great time is the most important part. read more

This is the best place to bring kids for a morning or afternoon of fun. We were in town for the week and needed an outlet for our 3.5 year old. He loves this place. Whatever your child is interested in there is something for them. Each room is themed, construction, bank, firefighter, veterinarian. The really hit was the kids sized store complete with checkouts. I would go when the place opens to avoid the crowds and it gives you a nearly solo experience. read more

Lot to do for children. It's an amazing indoors playground. They had a dinosaurs exhibit and our grandchild had lots of fun.

This is a great place for kids to go weather it's on a Field trip or with there parents . They have about 10 different rooms from instrument ,food store building ,working out , a exhibit of the month which was Eric Carl this time. And much more it's one of my places to go the traffic getting there isn't the beSt but the place itself is so easy to find and color full they also have a gift shop and a snack and food center which. I believe is subway. The people are so friendly and helpful who work there also read more

We visited this museum as part of our family vacation. We always try to visit the children's museum of any place we visit. In comparison to other children's museums this one was on the higher end for price, especially since the price was only for 1/2 the day. There was a lot of potential in this museum but there was so much renovation occurring we didn't get to experience what it could be. My kids range from age 10years -8months. So we covered every part of the museum. The museum was best suited for my middle child who is 5. We all like the music room and spent a decent amount of time there. Compared to other children museums this museum was lacking for toddlers and infants. There was one soft play area that was in the corner of an area dedicated to outside animal education. There is no nursing room. It was recommended that I nurse in the quiet area which is an area set aside for those who have sensory sensitivities. Being a Monday it was quiet and nursing there was easy. A nursing room would have been much appreciated though. It was blazing hot so we didn't check out the playground. The air-conditioning inside worked great though, so thumbs up for that. Other than we thought attaching a Subway to the museum was such a great idea as most museums have their own cafe with overpriced food and long lines. The bummer was we tried to grab something right before the museum was closing but Subway was already closed. This museum has great potential but needs better execution with the exhibits, staffing and overall experience. It might get better after the renovations are done and everything is up and running. read more

Took my little ones on Veterans Day during my day off and I was blown away! So happy I finally found a great place to take the kids on weekend or my days off. My 1 & 2 year old had a blast! There were so many different activities it was hard to enjoy them all during a single visit. The museum has two floors, has activity rooms and also offers rooms for private birthday parties. This museum is ideal for children 5 and under, great for toddlers to walk/run around and exhaust themselves yourself included (since you will running after them). I ended up upgrading my ticket to an annual pass for $150 since it was $45 to visit once and I definitely will be back With my husband. There is a subway inside so you can easily have an inexpensive lunch during your visit. Definitely one of my new favorite places in Miami for little ones! read more

My original review was 5 stars. I came here with someone else's kid and thought it was awesome. A lot like Wannado City from back in the day. Now, not so much. It has not changed much and that's sad. Now that I have two kids of my own, I should be getting yearly passes but I have come here once since they were born and I feel no real desire to go back. I really don't want this review to come off wrong. I would hope that with enough people saying they need to buckle up they will. I want to love this place but right now, I can't read more

It needs updating, essentially especially what they're charging for entrance and on top of that hourly parking. Yes they are adding new things, but the whole location need to update the toys, painting, some toys are missing in some of the areas. Their birthday rooms are a little rundown, again a little updating to give him some spunk back it'll be great. I know I have a friend that was thinking of doing her son's birthday there but decided not too cause of the reasons I'm giving. Yes, your assigned a person to help you which is nice and helpful but the look of the room is a downfall. It doesn't stop me for going cause it does have a good concept but it's not my top museum to go check out. read more
