This museum is excellent for families and young kids. They have an older part of the museum that…read morehouses some art pieces and paintings, as well as missionary artifacts. Then they have a whole room dedicated to the featured exhibit (usually at a separate charge from admission). Then there's the newer part of the museum and a small outdoor space that can be rented out for private events! Our toddlers had a great time here, learning from the museum, and they even participated in a scavenger hunt where they had to find and identify seashells throughout the museum. The staff that we engaged with were friendly and kind. The museum is well-lit and well-ventilated. Bonus points for being stroller-friendly! The parking lot is just across the street, $6 all day.

Went here for a bday and ended up getting a membership with parking by the end of the day. At first…read moreI thought this place felt a little disorganized, crowded, and a bit outdated, BUT my daughter LOVED every bit of it and by the end of the day, we all ended up having a lot of fun. Tip: a lot of the school groups are there early. We were there all day and by 2pm, it really cleared out and it was nice to still have 3 hours with a lot less people. Pros: Packed with hands on activities Food is actually pretty well priced (we have been to many museums/ kid spaces) Two floors, very spacious facility Parking area and overflow parking is a very short walk Great outdoor Dino area There's a nursing room for babies The gift shop isn't crazy expensive like many other museums/ activity centers Cons: Facility feels a little outdated but we got over that very quickly Not a ton of staff for how big the place is (you gotta look for them) I like to have a good coffee when I'm out all day with my kids at a museum or learning place--- their one coffee corner was closed Overall, this place packs a punch and there really is a ton to learn while also having fun. My kids enjoyed it and so did we as parents. We were there opening to closing time! Would I go as an adult without my kids? No. It's geared towards kids and it's fun with the kids.

More than anything of value, it is the docents who were there during WWII. They tell living stories from those who were there.

You can see where Hitler stood in his car right in front of you. This is real. Please, take your sons and daughters to this amazing place. Five stars all the way!

I chose the Tower Plaza Parking Structure (near the Westin Hotel), which was just a short walk to the museum, while the other options are a bit farther. Parking is paid, about $6 per hour. Once you arrive, check-in is quick and no reservation is needed. Admission is free, and they provide a sticker that you'll need to wear throughout your visit. The museum is two floors, featuring a variety of sections and artists. The architecture itself is beautiful and perfect for photos, and the artwork is unique and enjoyable to explore. Overall, it's a great experience, especially since it's free. Tip(s): - Park at Tower Plaza Parking Structure (near Westin Hotel) and just walk to the museum - Free entry - Restrooms available - No appointments needed
