Great educational displays. We spent many hours here and had a great time. My daughter didn't even realize she was being educated she was having so much fun. Everything was clean, even the restrooms. The pizza at the pop up cafe was surprisingly good. Everything was fairly priced.

This place is a child's dreamland! They have everything that kids would consider fun! There is a large full scale firetruck that kids can get in and pretend to drive... Along with fireman hats and real fire jackets they can wear to maximum role-playing! I can't imagine a child under 11 years old being bored here, there's just so much to do and learn. There's a small library for kids to read in, a pretend supermarket that has high quality props for kids to pretend shop in, there's also monitored activities and are fun and both educational. And that's just a small sample of all the fun things kids can do here. The only real problem here is trying to get your kids to leave... Almost an impossible feat for a parent to accomplish. There's also a small restaurant in the building for snacks and full meals if anyone gets hungry. The small restaurant here sells mostly traditional American food like hotdogs and hamburgers, just FYI. The prices aren't bad either. EdVenture does offer yearly passes which can save you money if you come here often like our family does. If you love having your small ones play as they learn, you just can't beat this very large kid's museum with a full two floor of fun! Five Stars!!

My family had fun during the Get Ready For Kindergarten event. There was so many fun events going on. They fed us hotdogs and chips. The event was free they have been having this for some years and I love it!

Hands on interactive children's museum! What else can you say!? It is truly amazing from the time you walk in the door! The staff is welcoming and very helpful! This is also the home of Eddie, the world's largest boy (who represents children of all nationalities) who is also a jungle gym! Truly an amazing family experience, especially for families with children ages 2-10!!

Great place to take young children for an outing. There are multiple areas to simulate learning and critical thinking for all ages. EdVenture not only offers an educational experience, but it also provides children the opportunity to learn through play. If you are visiting the downtown Columbia area, this place won't disappoint you.
