The New Children’s Museum

Brian Chan a month ago

We needed to find something to do before flying back home and decided to come here. I really didn’t expect my kids to enjoy it as much as they did as we were here for almost 5 hours. Usually after 2 hours they are ready to go but they kept going back to the clay molding or climbing on things. I would recommend going back but I think as they get older maybe 10-11 they won’t find it nearly as fun so anywhere from 2-9 is probably a good age range. Parking is a bit tough to find and apparently there is a parking lot down the alley dedicated to the building but I didn’t see any marked signs for parking so we parked a couple blocks away at the public lot.

Very big spaces and a variety of artistic visions. Every space is a hands on kind of room to explore and play for your child. Birthday party's can be held here as well in a private room in the lower floor. There is a café with plenty of options for everyone and very fun and kid friendly.

We've been to children's museums in cities all over the world on our travels, and this is the best one we've experienced. It's well maintained, easy to navigate, and each area is creatively and thoughtfully designed. It's like a wonderland imparting feelings of whimsy and splendor that others could learn from. The staff is helpful, friendly, and visible. Unlike other children's museums, where the staff act more like security guards, the team here is all about helping the kids maximize their experience. My kids loved the art room and working with clay. I appreciated the nearly screen free environment and plentiful seating for tied parents. This is a must-visit for parents with young children.

This is not a children's museum like you get in other cities. This is a "Art Museum for Children". Another review commented on the amount of text re: the artist of an exhibit being excessive. Spot on observation. This place is great for art and seeing a children's setting from an artistic setting. It is not a traditional hard play children's museum you would see in many parts of the USA. Recommended for older kids 4-7 I think. Mine at 2 was too young. What was nice about this is it is Art focused. You get a different perspective than in any children museum I've ever been to. I took away a star due to maintenance. The maintenance of exhibits needs help. A kid doesn't know what a typewriter is let alone one that doesn't work. The main slide was out of order. The upstairs toddler area was not clean and the carpet in it was on bare concrete, no pad. So when my kid fell, as kids will do it was just like falling on concrete. The treehouse thing was a wild experience very fun! BUT someone needs to get in there with a pin head and hammer because there are exposed nail heads inviting issues. I took away another star due to the exhibits... e.g. the blowy thing of air... not enough air to

A great place where children can let their imagination soar and explore their artistic side. The museum has three floors with different activities for children of all ages. There's an outdoor area for making clay figures that you can take home. We visited the Artopia zone (accessible at certain times) where the children can draw and craft; that day they could make their own gingerbread house with lots of accessories and everything needed for the craft. All the walls in the museum have beautiful, positive messages!! On the ground floor, there's a slide that leads down to the next floor. There's also a Sprouts café, which has a healthy and fun variety of food for children and adults. I recommend buying tickets in advance on the website to be able to enter directly. I wish they had some science activities for children.
