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.

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!

Although our social interactions were brief, over time I've come to know and respect Mrs Knowles for her many, often unheralded, contributions to the Arts and People of Wilmington. I conclude, If you're ever out and about shopping for eye candy come see. There are many talented people here waiting to meet you. Tell them I sent you. Special shout out to jim the ty-d-bol man.

The Little Gym had been recommended to us, so we tried an intro class. Upon arriving, we were greeted by a few friendly people. My partner and I looked at the gym space and wanted to play on it ourselves - it looked so fun! The class itself was well-structured without being overly scheduled. There were a series of activities along with some free play and some offered "spotting" from the instructor. The instructor had such positive, encouraging energy. We tried things with our little guy that we wouldn't have thought of before, like a supported front flip and back flip. He got to play with bubbles and play on some equipment that he really enjoyed. I really, really appreciated after class that we were walked through the membership program BUT not pushed with a hard sell. At this point we've decided that the cost is higher than we're willing to do for now. We don't anticipate raising an olympic gymnast, so the idea of spending over $1,200 a year on classes for our baby is more than we want to do when he's so little. But once he gets a little older, I think a membership is in our future.

My daughter has been attending Christina's classes going on three months now and, although she has a natural knack for art, she has churned out two incredibly awesome paintings (see pics) by a 7-year-old. Christina is a very nice, polite and overall awesome person who will make you feel very welcome in her home studio. Her apartment, which doubles as the studio, is filled with some pretty amazing artwork. She is excellent with all the kids and they all like her back. She is very knowledgeable, talented and patient with the kids. You get 4 hours of class/hands-on class a month for $65 (there is also an annual materials fee of $70), how can you beat that?!?! She also offers adult classes but I've not attended those. She also puts out a gallery for her artists at Pentes Art Works which the kids all love and get very excited over. If you are looking for an awesome art teacher/class, I highly recommend giving Christina Palmer Art Studio a call.
