We had our daughter's first birthday party here and it was fantastic!! Thank you to each staff member for your kind help, you were all so great and helped make the experience wonderful. It was clean, easy, and all of our attendees were extremely happy and had so much fun. I HIGHLY recommend doing a birthday party here. Thanks for the great experience!

Great place for the kids! They really like that a couple of the displays change so there are new things to discover and play with. They loved creating and breaking the boxes and the construction zone kept them busy until I had to pull them away to leave. Bathrooms are on each level and usually clean. Staff is helpful. Snacks are allowed. And the parking app helps me not to worry about having to run it to put more money in the meter. A cafe inside would be really cool... Or locating beacons for the little ones- I really like that they have a staff member seated at the door to help keep runaways in check, because sometimes they just sneak away from under your nose.

Great for kids of all ages, but especially kids under 12. Highly recommend for young families. Avoid bringing a stroller if possible. If you must bring a stroller make sure it has a small footprint. Don't bring a side by side stroller as you'll have trouble navigating. You'll be able to navigate fine with a smaller stroller or an umbrella stroller, but a baby carrier would be the best choice for crawlers and younger. If your kid can walk try to avoid bringing a stroller. Unless you're visiting on the weekend or after 5pm on Thursday (they offer reduced fee family nights on Thursdays) you should plan to bring plenty of change for parking. Nearby parking runs about $1.50 per hour and can be difficult to find at certain times. Make it a more well-rounded experience for your family by choosing alternative transportation options. Consider taking the bus or riding your bicycles.

This a very solid children's museum if not a great one. There are a lot of activities and areas and each one is done well. We spend most of the day there and my kids were entertained throughout. The only downside is the parking is a bit of a challenge, since there is no direct parking area. There was also not a really good place to have lunch at the museum- it was raining the day we were there so outside was not an option. Overall, highly recommend.

Went here on a field trip. The kids had a great time and there is plenty to do. There are a lot of aspects of GR in the museum. Very loud (obviously, there are tons of kids) so be prepared, and have fun too.
