Lots of fun things for the littles to do! Not bad for the adults accompanying them either! Love all the different themed sections for them to explore and play in. Personally, putt-putt was my favorite section. The kids enjoyed coloring fish and sea creatures to scan in and see on the screen. The outdoor play/soccer area was fun for them, but even with the shade in place, it's too hot to spend much time out there! Clean, well maintained and well staffed place. Gift shop is on the smaller end for a museum. Friends go here frequently with their kids, but this was my first visit. read more

The Miami Children's Museum was really cute but unfortunately when we went yesterday 7/22 it was also very dirty. Both the exhibits and bathrooms. A lot of the areas are dated and could use some updating. For $20 per person I felt you could get better value elsewhere. This $20 charge also applied to my 1.5 year old who couldn't really participate in half the exhibits. The staff member at the front was really pleasant as well as the ladies in the gift shop. However we encountered many other staff members that were standing around socializing. Parking is an extra charge. read more

Not worth it ! - and I entered my wrong license plate number and the rude parking lot rent a cop gave me a ticket! Parking should be free! what a scam! but the guy who works in the subway restaurant is a sweetheart he needs a raise! The museum itself was ok but definitely not worth the $$$! read more

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

Very dated, 30% of equipment and touch screens do not work with an "under construction" sign. Tickets are expensive and on top of that you have to pay for parking separately. No good food options, only a small Subway with garbage food. Avoid this museum!! Take your kids to the Frost Museum instead.. you will not regret it.. 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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

LOVE! Wide variety of unique toys with learning components that cater to all ages and mirror the museums exhibits. 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

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

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

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

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
