Holidays activities were very enjoyable. Visited the International Space exhibit and experienced the thrill of being on board the ship. They have several shows that are very helpful and give you in depth information about space. Adults and children alike are allowed to engage with lots of different things that are very helpful. I enjoyed the Water Clock. Children of all ages will love the activities. I recommend that you allow yourself to engage and see several times a year. I would say 3 hours minimum a visit.

The children's museum is a great place to spend time as a family. There are activities for all ages and interests. Everything is tactile and interactive on some level. The exhibits change regularly and are usually well done. On the downside, it's a bit expensive for non-members and the crowds are usually rough on weekends and around holidays. The food options are decent, but kind of expensive even for members. I highly recommend getting a membership. It pays for itself in as little as two visits.

This place is amazing. I cannot say enough about it. There are four floors of amazing activities that you can do with your child (ren). Hands on, interactive and fun. Touch everything, use everything and take as many pics as you can. Be sure to empty out your memory card because you will be taking lots of pics. There's pretty good food in the cafe. Parking is always great and free. Lots to do lots to see. Second time I come and I still can't get enough of this place. Will be back again for more. But online tickets. Seem to be cheaper!

Huge museum with tons to see. Less interactive than my older kids would like. Still, a ton of great things to see. The food court did was a bit pricey and pretty bland, but you can bring your own food. The exhibits we liked best were the Chinese one, the dances and musicians were great, and the dinosaurs. I kind of wish the museum had a little more tunnels and interactive play areas though. I hope the new outside area is more interactive.

What's not to like about the Children's Museum, ha, as it's ever changing displays are great for kids of all ages. The exhibits are always wonderful and interesting and you might even learn a few things about the land that time forgot, or almost forgot I guess, ha.  From ancient Egypt and the pyramids to the age of dinosaurs they have it all here. Bring a bus load of kids from school, or bring a date for something different than a movie, she will be impressed and you will look intelligent and get bonus points for thinking of coming here, ha. During certain holidays they also have night time events, and everything is always family friendly. Spend a fun day at the Children;s Museum!
