Great place to take any child that can walk confidently. My son is 18 months and he loved just about every area here. Price is acceptable, parking is ok. Shocked there are no ramps for the walkways into this place. Especially considering parents might have strollers. Will definitely be back here again.

Super cute Museum for young children, all hands on interactive. Perfect place on a cold/rainy day, they will have hours if fun.

It's a well designed indoor playspace, from that perspective it's lovely, the staff is sweet and kind.  I have no issue with the art or architecture.
The price is kind of high for a nothing, but hay it's the Hamptons.
My two big issues are the pretense to learning and the fact that behind the cutesy facade it seems to be a deeply conservative place.
The exhibits or whatever you call the potamkin indoor village, is modeled on a small town main st in 1950 has a postal system that has no words, just pictures, I don't see why you couldn't have both.  The library has maybe 30 books, mostly board books and has painted books on the wall instead of having actual books to read, why have a post literate library? 
The toy soda shop and market have no numbers on the registers, there is a haybale held aloft by a block and tackle, with no ropes.
But fine it's a place to run and play, not everything has to be about learning, but besides all this nonsense the dress up cloths are really informative of the philosophy of the place.  There are frilly dresses, and something that says medical staff, mediocre at best, but then there are police and camo gear, pirates and NASCAR out fits, one chef and an astronaught outfit and the fire gear are the only non violent jobs shown, no trades, not a single tool, no hard hat, no tool belt, no postal service or train conductor, but plenty of chances to do violence, both state sponsored and vicious outlaws.  Or one can dress up for a petroleum party in the form of race car drivers.
Come if you want and as long as you can shut down your senses, both moral and physical I don't know how much fun it will be.  I personally hate it on some deep reactionary level, my kid doesn't notice and I've been a few times, but it always puts my teeth on edge.

Fun museum, my daughter Stella lives it. Lots of interesting and interactive things to do for children.

Great for the 10 and under crowd. Displays kept my interest while watching the kids. Hard to keep kids in sight fire to the exhibit layout. EBT holders get in free. Would go again.
